Watch out for the fine print! It all sounds great at first — “You only pay when you start making sales.” But in reality? Not quite. After setting everything up and getting started, boom! A $30 subscription fee shows up — even if you haven’t sold a single thing yet. I felt misled. The pricing model isn’t transparent, and the overall experience was frustrating. If you’re considering using Zendrop, make sure you read every line of the terms very carefully. I don’t recommend it. Transparency is key — and it was clearly missing here.

Zendrop’s Shopify app description is not truthful — especially the claim that you can: “Build your brand by adding your custom branding to your orders.” That line is completely misleading. I subscribed to the $79/month Plus plan specifically for this feature. But once I paid, I was told that actual custom branding (like custom packaging or logo printing) is not included unless you apply to a separate “Private Agent Program” — which requires 10+ orders/day or $15,000/month in sales to even qualify. This is nowhere mentioned in their app listing or pricing page. What you actually get with the Plus plan is just a thank-you card, not proper branding. This is a textbook bait-and-switch tactic. The feature that convinced me to subscribe was locked behind undisclosed restrictions. I did receive a refund after escalating the issue, but this kind of marketing should not be allowed on the Shopify App Store. If you’re a new merchant trying to build a brand: be careful — this app does not deliver what it advertises.

Zendrop broke everything we built We trusted them with a fast-growing store, gave them serious volume, and even paid for their premium plan thinking this would be a long-term partnership. But Zendrop failed us at every level. They increased product prices silently, with no notice, forcing us to rebuild our entire offer. Then, just as we fixed things and launched new campaigns, they let our supplier run out of stock without a single alert or warning. Not a single update. We only found out after spending money on ads and getting flooded with new orders that we could not fulfill. Support? Absolutely useless. Same generic replies every time. They said they were working on it, but nothing happened. Our team kept following up, while Zendrop quietly closed tickets without solving anything. This is not support, this is abandonment. We were prepared to scale hard. Our campaigns were running, everything was optimized, and the business was growing daily. Zendrop stopped it all. They delayed us for weeks, killed customer trust, and left us with refund messes and bad reviews to clean up. Zendrop is not built for serious sellers. Their backend is broken, their systems are unreliable, and their agents are not trained to handle real volume or urgency. We came in ready to build a big brand. Now we are walking away with lessons, losses, and a promise to warn every serious seller do not rely on Zendrop.

Horrible experience. I tried out the app for 15 minutes, and had to uninstall and reinstall the app to troubleshoot. Apparently reinstalling the app means the 3 day "risk free trial" gets voided. I was then sent a notice saying I was being upgraded and billed for a $29/month plan that I did not agree to. I've now spent over an hour with Shopify and Zendrop support chats trying to get the charge cancelled.

Terrible service, careless choice of suppliers, product photos don’t match reality, support replies with canned responses, and they refuse to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Processing takes about a week, not 1–3 days, and shipping takes about a month, not 14 days as they claim. Lost around $4,000 because of them

Installed the app into my website, came back 2 days later and the app took over my themes and auto submitted a ton of random products into my website and made them active without me doing any of this. On top of this, it then bumped my subscription up to the paid tier automatically. I removed everything, changed my theme back, and uninstalled the app.

I worked very hard for months to set up my shopify store and connected all the products I wanted to sell from Zendrop. My first order the item was out of stock. I was notified it was out of stock AFTER the order was placed then immediately received another email stating that the price went up. So I had to refund my first order. (that costs me money) My second order I placed personally and one out of the three items I ordered was out of stock and never received a notification what's so ever. I go back to Zendrop to check products and sure enough all of a sudden they say out of stock. Then I replace it with a different item just to go through the same thing when that item was in their catalog and then an hour later there was an order for that item and oh it's out of stock. This company sucks. I have now shut down my store and will have to find another supplier because Zendrop can't prove to me what inventory they have and what they don't. I also get messages saying they can not ship to this country. I am in the US and only selling to the US. This should not be an issue. Now their help is useless. It is an AI bot and until you tell it to contact a rep you just need to go through all the help files. When you do they say inventory changes minute to minute, then when you ask for help the bot tells you " Implement or enhance notification systems to alert both the business and the customers when items are close to being out of stock or completely out. Many ecommerce platforms offer plugins or built-in features for this purpose." Well Zendrop why am I not being notified when items go out of stock. I think i have received three notices of items I had on my store that either the price changed or the item was just no longer available before I turned on my store. Once I turned my store on I got nothing. This is not a way to do business. Now I have to go find multiple suppliers for my products and purchase inventory. This has got to be the worst experience I have ever had starting a business. Don't believe the gurus when they say drop shipping is the way to go that is a bunch of BS. Don't use this company they are horrible. As soon as I can fix my inventory and product issues. I will be asking for a full refund, which I doubt I will get. I just can't believe that people put up with this. Read the 5 star reviews and the first few I read both said my first order the item was out of stock but yet they still gave them a 5 star review because some help desk guy told them what was already in the help desk files. Don't get me wrong I get things go out of stock but so far 2/3 of items ordered through my store are out of stock and I go no notification. That just seems wrong to me.

Honestly not worth the risk, seems there is no way to get in contact with support. Everything I have looked up tells me to go through the 'AI-chatbot' on their website, except there isn't even an option for that... I have 0 products on my site and currently being charged $70.

Worst one to deal with, they changed the pricing amid of getting orders. Good luck, fulfilling your orders as they will bill you on monthly basis just to fullfill them, which they never did in the past.

I had a terrible experience with Zendrop. First of all, their shipping took about a month for my test product to reach me. Then, one of my customers has been waiting almost 2 whole months for her products to arrive, and they still haven’t! Not only that, but zendrop ai is horrible. If you need any customer support, you have to claw and dig around to find any help whatsoever. Finally, though they have many products on their site, many of the more popular products that are selling are not available, or are entirely too expensive to dropship with. Overall, would not recommend.

Every product I ordered through ZenDrop is mediocre at best and often the description is a lie. I ordered a "premium leather jacket" which turned out to be vinyl, a "cashmere sweater" that doesn't feel like cashmere at all and nearly ordered "premium leather oxfords" that were vinyl uppers. When I asked for a refund they refused. Don't use this company

I installed this app and did not use it. In their description, they say that they will charge you for usage but they went on to take money from my account. It seems like they use the word usage to blind people to subscribe to their services so that you think that you will only be charged when you have sold sold their products. I want my money back! How can i pay 60 dollars for nothing?

Extremely small product selection, insane shipping times and shipping costs and they're constantly trying to upsell other services (discover winning ads with this, become a master trader with that etc.). They don't offer any chat/help, all in all it looks like they're here not "for the money" per se, but to trick you out of your money. In any case, that's what I got from them. I don't mean to imply they're doing anything shady, they're just not as up-front as they should be.

I've found this company almost impossible to work with effectively. If there are too many variations I can't import them into Shopify, and the alternative is so time consuming. You would think Zendrop could create a simple download CSV file for easy manipulation and management of imports. I've run into a ton of technical glitches where things don't work like they are supposed to. I added products that were supposedly fulfilled by Zendrop to my shop, but when it's time to fulfill the orders I'm told I have to link the product, but the link product button doesn't work. I've tried several ways to get help, but it's all AI bots now and all I get are instructions given in the chatbot but there is no way to talk to a live person. Also, the instructions I was given with the "self help" article didn't work. But again, no way to actually talk to someone. The only way I can talk to a real person and that is if there is really a person on the other end is through email, so even though I have orders I need fulfilled there is no way to fulfill them and there is no one I can talk to about fulfilling them. If Zendrop is a real company, they need to keep real people available to answer questions when we need them answered. I had such high hopes, but with so many issues, and no support, I'll have to find another dropshipper who actually feels the need to take care of their customers when help is needed.

Terrible service Terrible platform with constant delays, awful support, and very limited growth potential. I don’t recommend it. My package went missing and they said they can only issue a refund after 60 days… unbelievable.

I've had a consistently disappointing experience with Zendrop to date. The customer service is poor, and the fulfilment standards are well below expectations. Multiple customer orders have needed to be refunded due to inconsistencies in product quality and colour. What’s not made clear upfront is that a single order may be fulfilled by multiple suppliers, leading to mismatched items arriving with the customer. In cases where only part of the order is incorrect, Zendrop will only refund the item that is wrong—even though the entire order has to be refunded to the customer, as it no longer meets their expectations. This leaves the seller to absorb the full cost of refunds, lost ad spend, and a damaged customer relationship. The support team is extremely limited—I’ve spoken to the same few agents repeatedly—and unfortunately, they’ve offered little resolution or accountability. They do not have a complaints process so you are stuck in a loop of tickets and chats. Even worse, some customers received items made from materials that didn’t match the product listing, suggesting there’s no quality assurance process in place. (was supposed to be memory foam as listed, item arrived with cotton filling and I was told thats ok as it was "memory cotton" wtf) Overall, the platform lacks transparency, reliability, and proper support. I would strongly recommend working directly with vetted AliExpress suppliers instead to avoid the added fees, poor communication, and lack of quality control that has come to define my experience with Zendrop. AVOID

Bitte nicht nutzen. ich habe die app deinstelliert und mir wurden ohne das ich es genutzt habe 26 EURO abgezogen!

Scammers! DO NOT USE! I installed the app with the promise of 7 days FREE Trial, but as soon as i linked my first product they charged me and refused to refund! I only found out when i saw the bill from Shopify that says: Zendrop - Dropshipping & POD (Uninstalled) $29.00 Then i contacted them, but they REFUSE to refund on the ground that "5 days period for refund request expired". How can i not miss the 5 days period if i never expected to be charged in the first place!!! I'm going to report that scam crocks to Shopify

Zendrop charged me twice for the Plus plan and then downgraded my account to Zero. I received no features I paid for. Support ignored me until it was “too late” to refund. I was promised benefits and got nothing. Terrible support, broken billing system.

I only installed it, it saïd that they will only bring costs when using the app. I have never used the app once and now they have taken $30 for no reason do please watch out for this scam
