Hey @Vinuth .

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m excited to hear that you are getting started with dropshipping to your customers! You can in fact use the Shopify Payments gateway when you are dropshipping your AliExpress products. In order to use the Shopify Payments, you will need to set up the gateway by completing the account setup by navigating to Settings > Payments > Complete account setup. I took a screenshot from my test store to show you the section I am referring to:

After you set up Shopify Payments, your customers can make credit card payments on your store. You can then add your AliExpress products to the store to allow your customers to purchase them. We do as well have an awesome guide on The Dropshipper’s Guide to Sourcing From AliExpress, feel more than welcome to give it a read if you are interested.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank You For Replying.

Ex- I sell a product a for $50 through shopify payment gateway. Ali Express product costs $10..Then I need $10 to ship that order right. So without a capital can’t I use that $50 to buy and ship the original one to buyer?

Hey @Vinuth .

Thanks for the quick reply.

If you are using the Shopify Payments gateway to sell your product from AliExpress, you are correct that you would be charged for the cost of the shipment. Since there would be a delay from when you receive the funds of the order, it would be best to have the amount available to ship the product to the customer. We do have a detailed guide that covers different Shipping strategies for dropshipping on Shopify, definitely worth taking a look into.

Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
