When choosing what to dropship, it’s important to find affordable goods. In this article, we will take a look at 100 things under 5 dollars on AliExpress.

What makes a good product for dropshipping? Of course one wants high-quality because happy clients leave positive reviews, which helps attract new customers. Delivery time is another important issue as nobody likes to wait for their order. And finally, it’s crucial to find reliable suppliers.

Hi, Bonnie! Check your email. Good luck.

Parag Chokhawala 5 years ago

What is the target audiance for under 5$ store?.

Timur Y. 5 years ago

It depends on the niche rather than on the price. A bra and a super glue both cost less than $5, but I reall doubt they can be targeted at the same audience.

Ashley 4 years ago

Hi I already have a website and e commerce platform how would I drop shop from my existing website ?

Thank you

Timur Yuldashev 4 years ago

Hello, Ashley. Thank you for your interest.

The AliDropship plugin is compatible with websites that were made on WordPress or WooCommerce (a WordPress plugin). Actually, when you buy the plugin, you get both the standard and Woo versions, so you can pick whichever suits you: https://work10.alidropship.com/plugin/

If your current website was built on another CMS (not WordPress), I’m afraid you’ll have to find an alternative dropshipping solution. Or you could purchase one of our ready-made solutions:

– A custom Store: https://work10.alidropship.com/start-new-business/
– A Premium Store: https://work10.alidropship.com/premium-dropshipping-stores/

But in this case, you’ll get a completely new site built on WordPress.
