[00:27] let's dive in. What is Zenrop and why do people use it? All right, let's start helps you run your drop shipping business more smoothly. Instead of using AliExpress and manually fulfilling every order, Zenrop handles that stuff for

[00:42] you. You connect your Shopify store to Zenrop, find the products that you want to sell, and then when someone places an order, Zenrop fulfills it automatically. Here's the key part. Zenrop ships way faster than AliExpress. We're talking a

[00:56] 5 to 15 day shipping compared to 20 to 30 days that you might get from other suppliers. That means happier customers, fewer refund requests, and more repeat buyers. And the process is automated. Once you set it up, you barely need to

[01:09] of their premium plans, you can include your own branding with the orders, like thank you notes or custom packaging, which gives you a more professional vibe. Step one, setting up Shopify and Zenrop. Now, before anything else,

[01:24] you're going to need a Shopify store. If you don't already have one, go ahead and head on down to the description below and get started with our Shopify link where you can get started with a free 3-day trial and then it's just $1 per

[02:04] description, you'll also get 50% off your first month and $200 in order credits, which is not bad. So, I have a Shopify store here that I went ahead and set up actually using storebuild.ai. And in that process, I

[02:18] also got Zenrop set up as well. So, here's a store that I have that has Zenrop connected to it. So, you have your Shopify store where your store lives and people buy stuff. And then you have Zenrop where you are sourcing your

[02:33] products from that you push over to your Shopify store. Step two, finding products to sell. So, this is where the fun starts. Inside of Zenrop, you can search for products just like you would on any e-commerce platform. Let's say

[02:45] you're building a fitness store or a clothing store. You can search for something like resistance bands or yoga pants and get a list of options with pricing, shipping times, and where the items ship from. Now, the goal here

[02:57] isn't just to pick any random product. Think about what people actually want to specific problem? Will people feel good about spending money on it? These are the kinds of questions to ask. Zenrop also offers a trending product section

[03:10] what's hot right now. It's a good shortcut for beginners. Now, once you add to import list. From there, you'll be able to edit everything, the title, And this is important. You don't want to use the generic product descriptions.

[03:25] Take a few minutes to rewrite it in your own voice, highlight the benefits, and keep it super clear. So, let's go over to Zenrop here. And if we come over to go on find products. Or if we go down

[03:38] So, for here, uh, since we have a clothing store, let's just type in hoodie. and click search. And over here on the right hand side, you can select some filters. So there's like ship from anywhere, ship from US, ship from China.

[03:51] With all the tariffs going on right now, maybe I'll select ship from US. Now, these will be a little bit more expensive costs, but you'll get there here on the right hand side, you can go ahead and select categories. There's

[04:05] also suppliers, so like specific suppliers, as well as a price range. So, of this hoodie here. What you can go ahead and do is you can go ahead and add

[05:40] at how much Zenrop is charging you for the item and shipping. Then, set your leave room for profit. Usually, a 2 and 1/2 or 3x markup is a safe place to that everything looks okay, let's come to online store and we'll click on this

[05:56] little eyeball here to go ahead and view our store. And we can come to our catalog and we'll look for the product that we just uploaded here. And as you four, testing the order flow. Now that your product is live, it's time to make

[06:09] a test purchase. Seriously, don't skip this test. Testing your own store helps you spot issues before real customers experience them. Buy the product like a checkout, pay with your own card, and see how the process works. Then hop back

[06:23] sure that the order shows up. You'll want to confirm that Zenrop processed the order, sent a tracking number, and marked it as fulfilled once it's and help you understand how everything works behind the scenes. Step five,

[06:37] order fulfillment. If you're on Zenrop's free plan, you'll need to fulfill orders manually. This just means clicking fulfill in your Zenrop dashboard when new orders come in. Zenrop will charge your card and then ship the item out. If

[07:03] getting lots of orders every day and you want to save time. Also, Zenrop provides tracking orders for every order and it gets synced to your Shopify store stay informed without you having to manually send them updates. So, if we go

[07:16] back over to Zenrop and we come over here, there'll be orders on the lefth they'll be right here. And if you're on the free plan, there'll be a little you'll just have to press that button every time an order comes in in order to

[07:30] upgrade to the plus plan, it does that all automatically for you. Step six, your store is up and running, you'll want to stay on top of things. Check your Zenrop dashboard regularly to track order statuses, make sure items are

[07:44] delivery times. And if you're getting multiple orders per day, you can use Zenrop's bulk fulfillment feature to fulfill them all at once. It saves a ton performing products, too. If something's selling well, you might want to run more

[07:59] ads to scale it. something's not getting any traction, don't be afraid to swap it boosting customer satisfaction. One of the easiest ways to separate yourself from other drop shippers is by improving your customer experience. Zenrop helps
