Hello, I’m trying to sell personalized products that I imported through AliExpress, I would like to know if this is possible or if I can just sell personalized items, which are not imported from AliExpress.
I appreciate all the help possible.
Thanks
Hi @PrintPro ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I’d be happy to provide some assistance with this request.
To provide some insight, personalized items can be both sold through AliExpress as well as directly from the Shopify admin. Could you please share a bit more information on the type of personalized items you’re looking to sell?
Print on demand is a great business model that will allow you to achieve this. It allows you to sell customized goods without holding inventory. To learn more about how you can get starting with print on demand, I’d encourage you to check out this guide.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
I wanted to sell personalized rings, bracelets, keychains, necklaces, cell phone cases, etc.
All these items imported through Dsers, directly from AliExpress
Thanks for the prompt response and sharing those details @PrintPro !
I would however, encourage you to select a niche and focus on building your brand around that. A jewelry brand for example, will allow you to develop a storefront that fits those type of products, target a specific audience, and market accordingly. I’d recommend checking out this guide to learn more about the importance of selecting a niche.
As for sourcing and customizing those pieces, we have a great Starting a Jewelry Business Guide available that touches on this is further details. I’d encourage you to review that guide for steps on how to get started!
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I understood, however my idea is to sell products imported from AliExpress that are customizable. It’s possible? If so, how can I put fields on my website for people to personalize the articles in question?
Do i need commands or is there an aplications that makes easier?
Thank you.
Customizable products will depend on the vendor you are using to supply your products. You will need to find and source an appropriate vendor that offers those kinds of options.
There are apps out there that can allow you to add customizable fields to your product pages, but you will need to connect with the app developer to see if that information can be passed to the dropshipping app you are using. Passing the information into your order details is one thing, but to then send the order details to another app is another. I am not 100% on if that can be done or not, or if it can be done if the supplier will accept those details for custom orders.
You can have a look at some of the product option apps available in our app store: Shopify App Store - Product Options.
