How can I fix currency exchange issues in my dropshipping store?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Main issue: A new dropshipping store owner is losing money due to currency conversion between store pricing in AUD and supplier costs in USD when placing orders via DSers/AliExpress.

Key details:

  • Store price: 4 AUD. AliExpress item price: 0.70 USD.
  • DSers checkout total: 3.60 USD (≈ 6 AUD), resulting in a ~2 AUD loss.

Proposed fix:

  • DSers uses USD by default (per reply). Update store pricing to reflect USD-to-AUD exchange rates so margins remain positive.
  • Practical step: Increase product prices to cover currency differences and fees.

Outcomes/decisions:

  • No confirmed resolution from the original poster. One participant offered help to implement pricing changes.

Status:

  • Discussion remains open with a single suggested solution (adjust pricing for currency conversion). No images or attachments are referenced.

Hi, is have an issue here and I need your help please.

I just start my dropshipping store, and I trying to do a test order… the problem is I am buying a product with total charge of $4 Australian dollars… the original price on Aliexpress is $0.7 US dollars.

When I am trying to confirm the order with Dsers I end up with total charge of $3.6 US dollars. Which is about $6 Australian dollars.

So I am losing $2 Australian dollars instead of gaining money.

What should I do to fix the problem please???

Hi @OzChief Dsers by default uses USD so you need to update the pricing in your store so that you will not loose any money when you sell the product, because both the Dollar have different values and that is causing you the issue.

Increasing the price is the solution for your issue.

If you will unable to implement the same then I’m happy to do this for you, let me know. I can implement the changes so that this will work well for you.

Hopefully it will help you. If yes then Please don’t forget hit Like and Mark it as solution!

Best Regards
