Oberlo

Oberlo is a dropshipping online sales platform deployed with Shopify. As its developers put it: this tool enables you to find products on AliExpress, add them to your Shopify store, and send them directly to your customers through your wholesale supplier.  

Oberlo’s easy-to-use interface makes it easy for online stores to manage their inventories. In addition to that, sales reports are more specific and product metrics are more extensive than other options. Altogether it gives you full transaction and buyer satisfaction management.

Oberlo Reviews

Oberlo was founded in September 2015 with the clear goal of specializing on regional and international ecommerce sites as a Shopify attribute. Currently, it claims that more than 85 million products have been sold through the platform.

Oberlo does not require a retail store in addition to your online store. Its philosophy is based on the idea that the seller can place the order directly to the wholesale supplier and send it to the customer without delay.

Another thing this tool successfully achieves is time savings by automating processes such as inventory, sales, purchases…, which enables users to focus on their sales and client acquisition strategies.

As for its technical support, this may be its turning point, since it is done exclusively through chats, video tutorials and text. Although it should be noted that all materials are in English only.

Oberlo Highlights

• There is no need for a physical space, which reduces costs
• Few investment risks. This is because it is not necessary to contract any suppliers: everything is done through your wholesale suppliers
• Secure platform
• Easy-to-use and intuitive performance
• Chrome extension that enables you to find products on AliExpress and add them easily to your Shopify store.

Oberlo Downsides

• High competition
• English only technical support
