Hi All,
I am just starting my new dropshipping store using Oberlo/AliExpress. At this point in time I am unable to afford to buy products to do videos myself. I know how to upload images but is it possible to upload supplier videos ? If so, can somebody please share the process as I am not very tech savvy. Appreciate any help thanks.
Hi @Millie03 ,
That’s super exciting! If you’re interested in a comprehensive, step-by-step course that helps you build a dropshipping business, feel free to try the Dropshipping: 101 course on this link. It’s forever free!
It’s actually common for dropshipping entrepreneurs to use their supplier’s pictures or videos in their own store. But most dropshippers remove any logos, watermarks, or branded names from their product images. Photoshop here is an excellent tool for this.
As with anything in life, some are not such great suppliers and many great ones on AliExpress. Even though it is assumed that supplier’s images are okay to reuse, some may use other creators’ or influencers’ content without permission. To avoid any legal issues down the road, you should ask for your supplier’s permission to be on the safe side.
Some suppliers will have the option to download videos. If there isn’t one, reach out to them and ask them to send it to you if possible. Then you can simply upload it to your product page within Shopify admin. Here is a guide on how to do that.
Also, I’d love to share a great Oberlo ebook on creating product images that convert right here on this link. I hope it’s helpful to you.
Are you thinking of starting a specialized niche store or more of a general shop?
Thanks @Iris for you reply. I will ask my suppliers if they will send me the videos.
I am opening a store that sells mostly garden decor. I am still building it so haven’t gone live yet.
