I've been with Doba for at least 2 years. The wholesale prices are mostly too high to make a good margin. Also, most suppliers they have on the platform are not fully vetted, it seems.
I have placed many orders, for them to be canceled due to the supplier not having the inventory, even if they say its in stock. When that happens, shopify takes out the fees such as processing and credit card fees, etc. When an order is canceled due to DOBA not having sufficient inventory information, I LOSE money. Lets say a customer bought something and their total is $355. If you can't fulfill the order, then you have to cancel (all due to DOBA) and refund the customer. After all is said and done, I lost $45 just because they canceled an order and I won't see the difference. You will literally have to pay out of pocket for DOBA's mistakes such as this.
To me, the annual payments are NOT worth it. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
They do not hold their suppliers accountable, they do not care what you have to say, they will not making it better and will just say they will. It's just exhausting. Not to mention, most of the furniture the suppliers supply on the platform, have gotten terrible reviews and are cheaply made.
Do not waste your time and hard earned money on this joke of a platform.
I really wanted to like DOBA and gave them MANY chances, but losing money one transaction after another is unacceptable. DO BETTER
Hello Dakoda Goods & Co,
Thank you so much for taking time to post your review. My name is Whitney and I am the Head of Operations and Business Development here at Doba.
While not every product has a large profit margin due to the suppliers listing the items on our site at their own prices, there are many products on Doba that you can make money off of. We have many retailers that make their sole income from selling Doba items on sites like eBay and Amazon.
We have a team that does create curated lists of high profit items along with monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales where our suppliers offer 5%-10% off the original pricing. And if you go to our site there is a tab titled High Profit that offers products with 20% margins.
Additionally, I am sorry to hear that you have dealt with so many cancellations. I would like to say that we do hold our supplier’s accountable for cancellations, as one of the most important metrics we measure when deciding to keep or remove a supplier is their cancellation percentage. I would like to hear more about these cancellations that have happened to you, as i am one of the decision makers on suppliers being removed, and am over the team that contacts the suppliers with warnings regarding issues our customers face with them.
I would like to offer my personal help in figuring this situation out with you, and I will do everything in my power to make this right for you. Customer satisfaction has been and always will be my number one goal. Please feel free to contact me! Just chat, call, or email my customer service team and ask for Whitney. If you leave a name and number or email I will contact you as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you, and hope to help you.
Doba is easy to use. You have to read the instruction and or watch the tutorial videos. Its kind of selfexplanatory if you do a little research and if you google how to fix an issue if you get stuck it will come right up. Its expensive but in the first week i did get a big sale. I dont like that there are no telephone numbers to speak to anyone . Doba should allow a certain amount of calls per day starting in the morning until there agreed upon amount of calls are reached, then make chat and email available for the rest of the day then everbody can be happy.

Doba has number of glowing issues. It needs to import weight of items for suppliers who ship by weight. It is missing as Fulfillment Service in Shopify. It seems to require you to manually add tags one a time before Listing to Store. It would make things easier to bulk add tags or collection if shop uses manual. Add an option to MSRP instead of Compare would be nice I would like to note that Developers should communicate a little better with customer service. They should up docs more so Customer Service can help people better and customers aren't as frustrated. And I would like to thank Whitney for our little discussion on how to improve Doba.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Actually, we support bulk add tags, and you can contact our online customer service to understand how it works.
About your other suggestions, we will note them and make improvements in the future.

I like Doba a lot, support is very quick and they dispelled my doubts very quickly. Thank you a lot.
Great selection of products, but if you google search the products, the sell price is higher than the retail price online. Therefore, you may sell some items, but it will only be people who do not price match. Not an effective app for drop shipping.
Thanks for your feedback!
We will negociate the prices with suppliers and invite more good suppliers with competitive products to Doba in the future.
