Modalyst: Dropshipping

Very easy and simple way to add quality products to our store, we are new at these and were concerned with understanding the flow and it has been extremely easy.

UPDATE!!
Down to 1 star!
This is getting ridiculous. After uploading several products on their free plan, which incidentally requires a very hefty 5% transaction fee, they suddenly decided to basically trap their users by limiting the number of imported products to 25 on the free plan. This seems more like extortion. Given the very high monthly fee, their lack of support and ignoring of messages, the oftentimes no margin and sometimes higher dropshipping price of goods compared to the brand's website, the ridiculous amount of aliexpress dropshippers candidly named as 3rd party sellers, I strongly suggest to STAY AWAY from this app.

As an alternative, use Syncee. Even though the software is not as intuitive as modalyst and it lacks some functions, the support has always been there for me, the price is reasonable and you can probably find better products there.

I would rate this 2 and a half stars just because the integration platform is good. The rest of the stars they lose with the overpriced goods, expensive subscription + transaction fee model, 3rd party sellers that are basically aliexpress dropshisppers, and overexpensive goods from designers. For example leather jackets can be found elsewhere for cheaper, some from the own supplier's website. That is extremely ridiculous, especially since the brand name of the supplier is gonna be stitched on the garment.

You have to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL about the products you put on your website. Third party suppliers are basically aliexpress dropshippers, and if you are using them to dropship, you get the idea. First of all the goods will be coming from China and this would contribute to shipping delays. Second of all, subpar quality, and third the customer will know where it came from. Customers aren't stupid, they will eventually figure it out you sold from aliexpress.

I am a bit wary of their customer service as they only answered one of my questions when I was a premium subscriber. Downgraded to the free account since I do not need their premium products, have received no answer for my concerns. In addition, their premium subscription is too high given that I can find most of the premium suppliers on another app for much less and with no transaction fee. Now imagine, you pay shopify, you pay shopify transaction fee, you pay modalyst, you pay modalyst transaction fee. Might as well give up because you are never making any money.

All in all, tread carefully with this app. I will still keep using the free version since I find it useful in some cases, but users should be warned about the downsides.

Great products, I like the descriptions, site can run a little slow sometimes but overall great app

So far so good. Waiting on a response for a few questions tho ☺️ Seems to be a huge time saver and I like the versatility

Can anyone explain why the inventory sync is not up to date. I keep selling out of stock product and have to refund the money. This has been happening for more than 2 months and we are loosing business. Can anyone from modalyst answer my emails instead of ignoring me? I have paid for a whole year for the business plan $300 + and my whole business is center around inventories from shein.com.

Excellent so far, so good no complaints the ease of app is imperative when quickly uploading new exciting products often missed on wider used free drop shipping fulfillment services

Difficult for people who want to offer free shipping to there drop-shipping store. You have to raise the retail price to cover your shipping and you also have to consider their commission 5% and other fees from your shopfiy store.

Some items displayed are also are very inaccurate with the description, some products do not give you any product description at all, no detail on sizing, material, etc.

For example I have found a few products and in the description it states multiple colors but the product itself contains only one color. Other products I found doesn't mention any description what so ever.

So in my opinion Modalyst should have a standard to make sure there suppliers have accurate description, photos, and even correct sizing description or chart. I should be clear that not all products are like this, some of these suppliers go out of there way to provide all the information and pictures needed to make these sales, other however product very limited product detail and pictures.

I will say that all-in-all I've been very pleased with the level of support the Modalyst team has provided so far.

So many options to choose from, and the best part is that you can opt for local suppliers !

I like what I see. They have a lot of products. Some are price high other are price low. You have a choice to pick what you would like in your store. If a product you pick is not selling you can say by by to it and replace it with another products without paying to do so.
