Hey guys, it's Hogan here and in this video
I'm gonna be giving you a brief review of the ollie dropship plug-in
Which is a wordpress plugin to add a drop shipping store to your website
Okay
and I'll be showing you briefly how to use it because I know a lot of you might be on the fence whether or not
You could just stick with your WordPress store or you want to switch over to Shopify and oberlin for dropshipping?
So personally, I think Shopify is a great platform to use for beginners to build out a drop shipping or e-commerce store
But it can get a little bit expensive. So I want to show you a another alternative and you can basically
Determine whether or not it's good fit for you or not. Right? So when I was actually researching
for a plugin for
WordPress to build out my drop shipping store. I came across all a dropship and
Also a plug-in called. Whoo dropship
So my first impression of ollie dropship, wasn't that great
I think everything looked pretty good. But the designer that just didn't really
Stand out compared to a birla which is the main drop shipping app for Shopify
So as you can see, it's a little bit more modern and Aliexpress doesn't look that modern in my opinion
So I actually looked for another alternative which was blue dropship now with route dropship
It looked a little bit more similar to the Oboro app
So they also have a free trial so I actually started off with the free trial and everything worked fine
everything was really good, especially the
in-app image editing software which is included and
After the free trial I decided you know
Should I switch to a like dropship or should I stay with the dropship with Roo dropship as you can see it's $14 per month
For orders less than a hundred. Ok, and then if it's more than a hundred orders up to five hundred orders
It's $29 per month
So I was reading reviews for Olly dropship and all of them seemed really really good
So I decided to actually get the plug-in
ok, so the main difference here is the pricing on a dropship is a one payment of
$89. It doesn't matter sort of you know, how many products you sell or how many products you import?
It's $89 for free updates and support. So I think that's why you know, it's got so many good reviews
So I decided to get it and what I also realized is that they do have the image
Editing app as well, which is really important. But another really important feature is that you actually get to import reviews
So import reviews from aliexpress website to your WordPress website
So I think that's really important for your dropshipping store because it adds a lot of social proof
okay, and I also realized that the community was a lot bigger than
The word dropship plug-in so they have this forum support area and it overall it just seemed a lot more active
Okay, and they also have the option where you can purchase add-ons?
so
For Shopify stores. You probably are familiar with the recent sales pop-up, like for example when you go to a Shopify store
There's a pop-up saying let's say John bought you know this item two hours ago
So you have the option to buy these additional add-ons and also add-on countdown timers
They have some free ones as well, which I think is really really awesome
So I decided to get the plugin and I really really liked it. So I want to show you
how it works because
Yeah, you might be on the fence and you can decide whether or not it's a good alternative
So below this video there's a link that will take you to a lead rock ship and you can click on buy a plug-in
I'm gonna show you a tutorial on how it actually worked before you actually buy, but I'll show you the
Process that you need to go through click on Buy Now only for $89 and as you can see here, there's two different plugins
I'll a dropship plug-in and Ally dropship blue version
So the main difference here is the ally dropship plug-in is it only works with the ally dropship?
Specific themes which they've created. All right, that's gonna include the e-commerce functionality
so you're gonna be able to set up the payment gateways through this plug-in and
Also, everything like that
With the ally dropship version is compatible with WooCommerce
so it integrates with it and it also works well with any of your
WordPress themes that you might be using so I prefer this one because
I want to be using my themes. Okay, if you don't have hosting you can select hosting
So you actually get both of those plugins. All right, so you don't have to worry
So I also have a coupon code which you can enter for 10% discount
So after when you've actually added the coupon code you'll see that it saves 10% and after when you've actually paid
The credit card or PayPal and once you've completed the order
You will get a confirmation email which looks something like this
Okay, and what you'll need to do is you need to download the group plug into your computer
Okay
Because you have to install that onto your WordPress website and what you want to do is you want to copy over the license key
because we also need to activate it right then you'll need to login to your
WordPress website and you'll need to go to plugins and
Then you'll need to add new and you need to upload the plug-in and also install and activate it
So once you've done that then you should appear up here. I'll a dropship whoo and
What you can do is you can click it. Ok, that will take you to the ally dropship menu, basically
alright
So you need to click on license and you need to paste in the license key that they gave you
So paste it in here and activate
so this license Keys only available for one website, but if you want to switch
Your drops you may store to another domain then you can contact the ally dropship support and tell them to
Deactivate it on this website and then you can move it to another website
Okay, so you can't have two stores at once with one license. Ok?
after when you've done that then what you'll need to do is you need to go to Google and just
Search up ally dropship Chrome extension and you can add that to your chrome. Okay?
Then what you'll need to do is you'll need to make sure that you are logged in to your website here
Ok, so you need to add your website and make sure to connect it to?
Once you've actually done that then what you can do to import the products, which is really really easy
You can click on Aliexpress
so to import the products you can just click on use direct import and
That's going to take you to the Aliexpress website
okay, if you don't have an account with Aliexpress yet then what I recommend you do is to create your
Account first, okay
But after when you've done that then to import a product you can simply just hover over
The categories here and you can browse through and select the product. So for example, I might select maybe a hoodie
Okay, and I'll show you how easy it is to add in
So we're gonna search here. We're going to scroll through
Okay, this one doesn't look too bad so let's say I like this hoodie you can also click on this button here
Okay, and that's gonna import to your WordPress store?
But what I like to do is obviously click into it because you want to check the reviews
And you want to check the products and things like that to see whether or not you want to import it
What I like is you can also check
Check if it's cheaper on other sellers
Okay
Let's say if you like it you like what you see you like the feedback
Then what you do is on the top here, you'll see a light drop ship on the toolbar and you can click on edit
Ok, so what's that doing is it's gonna sort of import all the images and all the product information to the Chrome extension
Okay. So this is the Chrome extension and what it enables you to do is actually to edit the images
Edit the variations and also the titles and everything before you import it to your WordPress website
So I think this is really handy because you can filter everything down. So for example, I'm going to
just remove everything here just like that plus-sized men's woody and
I'm gonna edit the URL as well
Okay, make it something shorter. You don't want such a long URL. It's bad for SEO. We're gonna click on tick and
this one is a hoodie so you can select a category which you've created before or you can add new category and
This is imported all the you know
sizing charts all the images from the description on the Aliexpress website, so
what you can do is you can actually just
Highlight it and it's sort of just delete it. Okay
Let's try and delete this box here
okay, you want to clean things up a little bit because some of the things you don't want to include in the
Your descriptions? Okay, because sometimes they might be like refund policies shipping policies and all that stuff
Which you'll probably want to delete and you might want to create your own
Sort of you know sizing chart or things like that
okay, so if you scroll down here to
The image gallery section you can click on this icon and
Sometimes there is a logo on the side here
Okay, so you probably want to remove that logo and to do that. You can click on brush make sure you select
Set in the color to be white here. So normally six FS is white
Okay, and you can boost up the sizing. Yeah
Okay, and then you can use that to actually clear logo
Okay, once you've actually cleared the logo, then you can click on save and you can also add in text as well
So for example, if you have a sale you can add that in you can also add different stickers
As well so you can upload that or you can use the ones in here. I'm just gonna delete that one. Yeah, okay
Which is really cool because you don't need your Photoshop or anything like that and you can click on save
so once you finish editing that image
What's going to allow you to do is you can set the pricing here
you can set it to apply the pricing formula, which is something that you set in your
WordPress website in the settings area, which I'll show you later
So we're going to go back here and you can edit the variations. You can delete it change the name
And things like that. So these are all the items specifics which is going to import to your WordPress website
Some of the stuff is unnecessary. So you might want to remove some of them or you can remove them later
So I'm just remove some of them to show you. Okay?
Once you're happy with it, then what you'll need to do is just click on import
Add to import list. Okay, so that's going to take a few seconds depending on how much there is to download
sometimes
It takes a little while but after a few minutes you should be done
Okay. So once that is done, you can go back to your WordPress website. Go back to the main menu and
Here you should have WooCommerce installed. Okay, so if you don't make sure to install WooCommerce and if you click on products here
Then you should see the product has been imported to the import list
okay, so it hasn't been published yet because you do want to check it again so you can click on edits and
Basically, it's added in the sizing chart all the images to the long description area
You can edit it. However, you like so I'm going to scroll down here and
Here is the WooCommerce
Area, so basically if you click on the inventory, it's added in all the information here including the shipping information
For the weight and dimensions, etc. You can also add your upsells and cross-sells
It's added in all the attributes here all the different variations. It's added in that as well
so if you click on that, then you'll also see the prices for each of the variations the stock quantity and
Everything that you need alright
So basically you can look through these what I want to do is if you click on reviews you can upload reviews
so I'm gonna import reviews higher than four stars and you want to make sure to send a reviews to the actual draft because
Some of the reviews are in different languages and sometimes you might need to sort of tweak it and fix it and also the names
You might need to add in the names as well
So I'm going to select just leave it as default and then click on import now
So that's gonna take a few seconds
Okay, once that is done
you can add in a short description for your product as well and
Add in make sure the product categories are set the tags are set and then you can just click on publish
So once that is done, then you can also click on the product to check the product
so I'm actually using the
Shop theme by themify your theme might be different. So it might appear differently
Okay, but you've imported all the product images. So you've done that in just a few minutes
So it's really really awesome and all the variations have been added
But if you actually click on the reviews you hasn't been published yet
so to actually publish the reviews you need to go back to your dashboard area and
Then you'll need to click on comments
Ok, because what we've done before is we've sent that to the drafts. So as you can see here
This is one of the reviews that we need to
approve ok
For example, we need to click on edits. And as you can see the name here, it doesn't show up fully
Ok, the reason for that is because if you actually go here to the feedback section
You'll see that the products they don't have the name of the person who gives the feedback ok
So you need to go here and maybe change it. Let's just change it to Aaron and
this is the
testimonial and
Sometimes it might not be the best English
So you might want to fix that up or you might have some Russian in there or something like that
so you might need to tweak that ok, and if
They have images here. Then you can also edit the images by using the image editor, which is really cool. And
Sometimes you can also remove it if it's not very good. Ok
So what you need to do is improve that and update that plugin. I mean update that comment, sorry and
You can approve all the other ones as well
So if we actually go back to our store and view that product the review should show up
So let's click into that. Ok, as you can see, it's got one customer review
which is really cool and people can click that and people can read that and check the
Image ok, so I think that's really really important. All right
so basically what I'm gonna show you now is that you can also
Do some really cool stuff with the you plug in. So if you click on that
Click on here and then click on settings
So if you actually scroll down here, you'll see that there's a tracking service so you can actually track your orders
Which I'll show you in a second, but they have the Aliexpress cashback system
So how this works is you'll need to sign up for the Aliexpress
Affiliate program and
you'll need to get a URL so you can sign up here and then get the URL and put that in here and
That's gonna give you up to 12 percent cashback on each purchase on
Aliexpress, so I think that's really really awesome. And if you hover over settings you can click on currency and
what's that gonna allow you to do is it's gonna allow you to actually add in a currency switcher onto your
WordPress website
So there's a widget which you can add anywhere to your website. So I'm gonna show you quickly
So I've added it down here
okay, you can click on that and you can select a different currency and it will update the prices on your
Store, okay, which is really really cool
So you can set that in and you can set in you know, the currencies that you want to show
All right, and then save so you can also click on pricing so that's gonna allow you to actually set in pricing formulas
So you don't have to set in the price manually every time you upload a new product
So these are the ones which are recommended, but you can add in a new formula as well
right, so
I'm actually going to show you a
purchase and
Show you how the actual process works because it's really really simple. So if we actually go to the shop page
Let's say someone likes this product here. Okay, so I'm gonna click into it
So for example, someone likes this t-shirt
They select the variation select the size and there is 16 in stock and then they can add to the car
Okay, so they can hover over here and they can select or deselect the products
And for example once they're happy with it, they can view the cart and then they can checkout
Okay, so here I actually have a full toriel on showing you how to set up a drop shipping website in the description below
It's a full 1 hour and 45 minutes at all showing you from start to finish how to build it out
But I just want to show you quickly. So if you click on proceed to checkout
Then the customer will need to fill in the information here, which has been pre-loaded
ok, and they can agree and then proceed to PayPal and then what I'm gonna do is select my PayPal accounts and
Then log in and pay for that. Ok, so that has been paid so then they can return to your website and
We're actually going to look into the store dashboard. So close dashboard
Okay, so you'll have a new order so go to WooCommerce and then click on orders
You should also get a email as well
Ok
So as you can see
the status is on hold then you can click into that order and
I just want to show you how easy it is to place the order
so what you'll need to do is click on place order automatically and
That should direct you to the
Aliexpress
website
so it's adding the products to your cart as well and
It's going to add in all the shipping information
for you automatically
Ok, so once you've actually paid then you'll get a confirmation of the payment within 24 hours you also will get a
tracking ID within 2 to 3 days if you have
bought
the product with a package shipping
Ok, and then what you want to do is change the status here to processing and then you can update it
Ok, so once you've actually updated it
After a few days has gone past then you can click on get tracking ID. So this one is a new order
I'm gonna go back to a older order which I
Tested before ok, so I'm gonna click on this one here
and
If you actually scroll down here you can click on get tracking ID and the tracking ID will appear here, right?
so you'll also see if we go back to the ally dropship room and you click on it and then if you go to
the tracking and
If you scroll down here to the bottom, you know, you can click on the tracking ID and that will take you to the website
Okay, so as you can see, it's in Chinese, but the most important thing is it said it's being delivered and to the actual location
so from here you can change your
Product order status to completed. Okay, and
That is pretty much it. That's probably the entire process of
building and also ordering and
Shipping the order to your customer
