1-Star Shopify App Store Review Title: Unreliable syncing + confusing plan/billing + poor follow-through — cost me ~a month and created platform trust fallout I run a careful, curated Shopify brand and I don’t leave negative reviews lightly. I’ve also given plenty of 5-star reviews when a company has an issue and then follows through to fix it. In this case, the problems were repeated, inconsistent, and never truly resolved — and the business impact was significant. What went wrong 1) Contradictory guidance on the most basic question: “Can customers checkout?” I received conflicting answers about checkout/plan requirements. For a new store, clarity here is non-negotiable — if you can’t confidently answer “can my customers buy?”, you can’t launch. 2) Sync/publish reliability issues between DropCommerce and Shopify I ran into inconsistent behavior around what was actually synced/published and what the “source of truth” was between the app and Shopify. That made it difficult to validate a safe, reliable order-to-fulfillment flow before going live. 3) Integration state / connection issues After changes/reinstalls, the app did not behave consistently, which further reduced confidence in whether the system was in a stable state. 4) Billing and plan clarity felt inconsistent I had ongoing uncertainty about what I would be billed for and when. There were times where Shopify showed one plan state while the app reflected a different plan state. Support’s “solution” appeared to be offering a month of a higher tier rather than fixing the underlying plan/status inconsistency. I wasn’t looking for a higher tier or “extras” — I needed the core plan/billing state and syncing to be reliable and accurate. 5) Support follow-through didn’t close the loop I gave reasonable time for escalation and “developer review,” but I did not get the clear resolution and follow-up you need when issues affect checkout clarity, syncing, and integration reliability. Business impact (why this is 1 star) This wasn’t a minor inconvenience. Because I couldn’t trust the sync/publish behavior or confidently validate the full flow, I had to pause, clean up my store setup, and put a password wall up during troubleshooting. That created knock-on platform trust/crawling fallout and delayed launch. In practical terms, this set me back roughly a month of progress and cost real money in lost momentum and cleanup time (~$500+ in opportunity cost). Bottom line I’m not posting this to get money back — I caught these issues before I was charged, and I’m glad I did. But I’m still not fully out of the woods: even after uninstalling, the plan/status and account signals were inconsistent enough that I’m still worried about surprise charges later. That lack of clarity, combined with unreliable syncing and unresolved issues, created real business risk and weeks of rework. If you try this service anyway, I strongly recommend testing only in a non-production store and verifying billing state in writing before relying on it. Based on my experience, I do not recommend DropCommerce for new Shopify merchants who need reliable syncing and predictable billing. 1 star.

I had a really bad experience with this platform. The biggest issue is that most of the orders I had for products sourced through DropCommerce ended up being out of stock. This made the service unusable. I spent inappropriate amounts of time contacting sellers to try to resolve no inventory issues. I also raised this to support several times, here's the last response I got, and each was similar: "Stock availability issues can occur, as inventory is managed by independent suppliers and may change outside of our control." I feel that a minimum viable feature on this is live inventory sync so there are not issues like this. Especially with the primary message of the company being: "Everything you need to build a sustainable US dropshipping business, without the risk." Well, this is the exactly the risk of dropshipping, out of stock items, slow delivery times, poor communication. So how exactly does DropCommerce solve this? I can't say. The product sync was a little spotty, with some products coming into my store at $0 which required development time to fix. Another major issue for me, which will likely not be a big issue for others, but may be useful for some: DropCommerce categorizes sellers based on certain criteria. We only work with Fair Trade sellers. Their list of "fair trade" sellers was almost completely inaccurate. Out of 141 listed only 8 or 9 were actually fair trade. I had to pay my staff to contact every seller and re-vet them, which is something DropCommerce was supposed to have done. It took 20-30 hours. A number of the sellers contacted did not know why they were included on the fair trade list and had no idea that they were. The reason I did not give a 1 star review is that the support is okay-ish. Often slow (1-3 days response time to chats) but at least exists and helped me resolve one or two issues with automating payments to sellers. I have asked for a refund or partial refund several times now, my last request is still pending, however I doubt they will honor it. I really wanted this to work for us but the execution just isn't viable. Hope this helps someone. EDIT: After trying to cancel the app keeps telling me I cannot unless I remove products from my import list, which I have done. I've now uninstalled the app expecting not to be charged again and reached out to support. I have had no response from support for 5 days despite daily follow-ups and they have not confirmed that my cancellation is complete and I will not be billed again. Frustrating and a waste of time trying to get a response.

This is absolutely the worst app I've ever used. I've tried it countless times, with different stores, and the results are almost always frustrating! The app is unreliable; no one replies to messages, and orders don't sync. I can't even pay for orders. Even after paying, the order never completes. And when I finally manage to ship an order, there are always all sorts of problems with logistics, making for a terrible experience.

First time online store owner, first orders, same day as orders come - shopify site crashes, orders won't sync...aaa... dropcommerce bot is trying to fix my issue but we are both not smart enough for this... then the owner sees our conversation (between bot and I), jumps in, fixes it on the spot, offers support anytime! Just WOW! I'm staying, already a fan, love when my problems are not just my problems! This level of customer service in virtual reality is a gold! Rare!!! I would love to recommend this app for anyone who wants to try dropshipping, well worth it!!! Happy shopper :)

They are great from what i see. there good quality also. would be perfect for my multi-store multi-channel volume drop ship model soon to launch. Id like to send a proposal to drop commerce, a collaboration may be mutually beneficial. Contact; Frank Rossi Blue Online Stores LLC Direct (480) 433-6556 Co.

I have been really impressed with the suppliers I have found on Drop Commerce. It is nice to find a platform with so many organic, handmade, artist-created, fair-trade options located in the US. I have had a couple of minor hiccups with orders, but their customer service is very responsive and supportive, and it really keeps things moving without any extra effort from my end. It is always so appreciated!

Since being new to this I have needed a lot of assistance along the way. The agents and customer support have been great and very understanding. Wonderful service.

I used DropCommerce done-for-you to set up my store because I needed to get it going quickly and it was the best experience. My representative was Maria and she made the whole process smooth and incredibly fast. My store was up and running 24 hours after I submitted the request and it looks awesome. I'm very happy with the service.

I started using DropCommerce to find products for my store and it’s been a really good experience. The products feel higher quality than a lot of other dropshipping options I’ve tried, and shipping is faster too. Adding items to my store was simple and everything synced up without any issues. Makes running my store a lot smoother.

Communitation with this store sucks. I have been emailing and trying to reach out to someone about and order I have. Been three days and no response.

I've tried several dropshipping apps, but DropCommerce really stands outespecially for someone like me running a Shopify store solo and trying to build a more trustworthy brand.

Maria was absolutely amazing and my store looks great! Great customer service and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Thank you Maria and Team!

DropCommerce has been a great platform for showcasing my Indian women’s clothing line, including lehengas, sarees, Fashion Jewelry and salwar kameez. The interface is simple, and I appreciate how easy it is to manage my products. I feel supported as a small business owner. Looking forward to growing more with DropCommerce!

Spencer helped me out and very quick to help with my issues I would recommend then to anyone out there

DO NOT USE THIS APP they put their business card in the orders that they are charging less and what u pay for the item on the website it took them 5 hours to respond to me and also they were no help at all they also say its made in the USA or Canada but on the business card it says made in India theses are just some of the bad experience I had with them I suggest to stay away from them

I BELIEVE DROPCOMMERCE IS A SCAM. I IMPORTED PRODUCTS INTO MY STORE AND PUT IN A TEST ORDER. THEY STATED IN SHOPIFY THAT THEY HAD 999 AVAILABLE BUT WHEN I FOLLOWED UP, THE DROPCOMMERCE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK. NOW I SEE WHY SHE TOLD ME TO CANCEL THE ORDER IF IT WAS A TEST ORDER, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ITEM IN STOCK. I'VE LOST MY TRUST IN THEM. I DOUBT IF THEY HAVE ANY OF THESE ITEMS IN STOCK.

I was used to Oberlo and so when it was discontinued, I nearly stopped dropshipping, Dropcommerce is catching up to Oberlo . I'm happy i found this app.

Super easy to use and the suppliers are amazing. It's been such a difficult process to source good suppliers with reasonable shipping times, but thankfully I found these guys! The founder is really nice and attentive, and the products are great! I'm loving DropCommerce so far :)

From Laguna Happy. Reviews usually happen when there is a great experience or a terrible experience. We’ve had an outstanding relationship with DropCommerce in our online marketplace where we offer clean, crafted, and conscious goods from purpose-driven brands. So, we have decided to use them exclusively for all of our drop-shipping. Even though we secretly want to keep them all to ourself at Laguna Happy, we know that we must sing their praises from the rooftops! Their product selection is hands down the best in the market. No mass-produced items...only carefully vetted, fair trade, artisan, and non-toxic brands. And they don't waiver with the temptation to follow the status quo and work with mass producers and big importers. They stay true to their values which is our philosophy as well. Plus, they listen to their customer's ideas and brand suggestions. That is a big win for Laguna Happy. When Shopify required major platform changes for their app partners recently, DropCommerce handled the complex requirements with true professionalism and hard work, communicating clearly with us through the entire process. They are poised to lead drop-shipping in the U.S. and Canada. Shopify would do well to partner deeper with DropCommerce. There is a new era of conscious consumerism on the horizon and DropCommerce is serving those needs like no other platform is even attempting to. One of the best partnerships we have ever cultivated in our business. Easy 5 stars! - Christy Brewer Anderson, Founder of Laguna Happy

I had high hopes for this platform, but it’s hard to ignore the challenges. The pricing structure is a major concern—selling a candle at $50 just to maintain a margin is unreasonable. It’s hard to imagine who would pay that much for such a product. On top of that, there are technical issues that make the experience frustrating. For example, when importing products, they often appear as “out of stock” before randomly switching back to “available”—and this happens across all items. I’ve also noticed images being changed or removed without my input, leaving my shop looking unprofessional with mismatched photos that don’t align with the products. I tried reaching out for support, but since it’s Sunday, I don’t expect to hear back soon. This experience has been far from smooth, and I really hope these issues are addressed quickly.
