Hello
I have been looking at dropshipping supplier apps. They say that on the free plan you can only browse the catalogue. Does this mean that you have to take out a paid for plan to sell their products.
Thanks John260
Hi @john260 ,
Yes — in most dropshipping supplier apps, if the free plan only allows you to browse the catalog, that usually means - You cannot actually import or sell the products on your store until you upgrade to a paid plan.
What “Browse Catalog” Means in Free Plans:
You can view all available products
You can see pricing, shipping details, etc.
You can’t push products to your Shopify store
You can’t fulfill orders through them
To Actually Sell Their Products, You Typically Need a Paid Plan To:
Feature Requires Paid Plan?
Import products to your store | Yes |
Auto-update inventory/pricing | Yes |
Order fulfillment automation | Yes |
Branding/custom invoices | Often yes |
Hi John, the free feature depends on the pricing plan of each different app. You can only browse the catalog with the free plan or event push their products to your store for sell. Just register and tried. If you're are looking for a dropshipping app, take a look at Zopi. We offer a free plan with no credit card required when you trial, it's free forever. You even can browse our US trending collection, push to your store and even process the order, just limit the quota compared to paid plan.

In most dropshipping apps, the free plan enables one to browse through the catalog although it becomes difficult for a person to import or sell products.
Thus he or she will need to upgrade at a cost so as to sell.
Nonetheless, there are some exceptions that allow you to use them without paying first such as EPROLO and Printify.
For beginners, begin with the free plan to experience and pay for extra services when you have grown your business.
