It's alright, nothing special. In order to make a somewhat good profit you have to price these items in a way that factors in the shipping costs. Let's say you have an item for $21.49 on this app but the shipping is $4.12 to send to the customer. That's $25.61. If you sell it for the recommended retail price for $28 you'd only make $2.39! Not really that good of a profit. And if a customer uses a discount code, you could potentially lose some money. You're going to HAVE to price these items even higher to reap the benefits of it. Aside from that, the selection isn't that great. There's not enough bongs, bubblers, and rigs on the app. This app has the potential to be extraordinary, but the creators need to step their game up. For only $14.95/month it's fair, but I'd like to see better. I want better pricing, better shipping, and a better selection! I will say that it's better than this other Shopify smoke shop app called Crowdship Retail. That app charges over $100 a month and most of the products are out of stock. This app has amazing product descriptions. Crowdship does not. I need more apps like this because most smoke shop sites that have a wholesale option for dropshipping require a business license, which I don't have. This makes the process easier, but again, it could be wayyyyy better!
That's not entirely accurate and not entirely fair. First, keep in mind this is the Green Goddess Supply app, to support our brand of products. We're a brand (think Apple, Nike) not a distributor/reseller (ie. we're not WalMart). We're always adding more/new products to our catalog, but these are all OUR high quality products, not other people's. We've got over 50 glass pieces, and more. Our app is NOT exclusive - you can import all of our products or a subset as you prefer, and still add products from other places to build out your site - it's not just us or nothing at all. Most of our vendors actually incorporate our products along side others, so selection should not be an issue. Thank you for the kudos on the descriptions - again these are OUR products so our descriptions, reviews, etc. are much deeper than you'd get with a distributor aggregating and reselling other people's stuff. As for the shipping comments, that's entirely dependent upon how you setup your store. We don't build shipping into the price because it's so incredibly variable depending on what the product is, how it's being shipped (regular or priority) and where it's being shipped. The app can calculate shipping on the fly, so depending upon how you setup your Shopify store, it can calculate and add it to the order on the fly. You don't have to eat it as you're assuming. You can also change prices (raise or lower them), so if you prefer to build in shipping and have it flat and included and not add shipping at checkout, you can increase the price and add shipping accordingly. But by default, ALL products have the weights and are set to dynamically calculate shipping on the fly at checkout. You should NOT have to eat shipping costs -- that just means you didn't have it setup right/optimally.
I will be writing 2 reviews one now and after the trial,
First impression is 3 stars mainly because of the lack of products being supplied, website is a little glitchy and doesn't load products all the time.
I agree this should be supplemented with another app, but thinking about price of subscription and their small inventory (glass inventory); it may not be worth it unless you are looking for non-glass related items.
I do not agree that products are too expensive, especially because I am doing drop-shipping and do not require physical inventory, you have to keep in mind that this is a service.
Products are priced fairly, and they have a good affordable selection of grinders, trays, small hand spoons (bowls), and limited but affordable selection of slides.
If you are looking for concentrate accessories (Quartz bangers, terp pearls, caps), larger tubes, or real "heady glass". This app is not for you. Glass may certainly be "quality" however that does not mean custom or locally sourced.
Green Goddess offers the same features as other drop-shipping Apps, with the ability to directly upload their products to your site in under 5 minutes. They have a clean website and so far every product uploaded smoothly.
At the end of the 7-day trial I will have a concluding review.
