Losing the app your whole store ran on is a gut punch, and Oberlo users know that feeling.

If you're a Shopify user, then you may have heard the news that Oberlo is gone now.

Why is Oberlo shutting down?

In short, Oberlo shut down after Shopify discontinued the app, and it stopped working on June 30, 2022.

Shopify acquired Oberlo in 2017, and it quickly became one of the most popular dropshipping apps on its platform.

So why kill a popular app?

Shopify framed it as routine "product deprecation," but analysts point to a shift toward its own fulfillment network and friction around AliExpress automation.

This product deprecation, which is a routine occurrence, is in pursuit of providing merchants with the best solutions to reach their customers wherever they are.

Source: Shopify

But Oberlo didn't just disappear.

It officially partnered with DSers to migrate its users, so there's a clear successor to move to.

For more speculation and information, check out our in-depth article about Oberlo shutting down!

Can you still use Oberlo, and what happens to your account?

No, you can't still use Oberlo. The app was delisted in May 2022 and shut down completely on June 30, 2022, so no new imports, orders, or account logins work anymore.

If you still have an Oberlo store, your next step is to move to a replacement app like DSers.

Here's what that means in practice:

• Your products and mappings could migrate. Oberlo users were given a one-click option to migrate their data to DSers, rather than rebuilding from scratch.
• Any unused paid time on Oberlo stopped when the app stopped. Since June 30, 2022, there's been no active Oberlo subscription, so the practical move is to start fresh on a new app's free plan.
• Export anything you still need. If you kept records tied to your old store, save your product data and order history locally so you're not depending on a dead app.

If you're reading this years later with a fresh store, you don't need to worry about migration at all. You can just pick an app below and start clean.

How do you pick the right Oberlo alternative?

To pick the right Oberlo alternative, match the app to how you source and sell.

Check whether it offers a free plan, integrates with your ecommerce platform, sources from AliExpress or local suppliers, and automates order fulfillment and tracking.

The best fit depends on your budget, shipping speed, and how much you want one app to do.

Before we go in depth on each tool, it helps to know what you're looking for so your decision is easier to make.

How we picked these Oberlo alternatives

We compared more than 20 supplier apps and plugins and asked one simple question: which one best replaces what Oberlo did for your store?

Our picks are based on public data, pricing pages, and platform review signals rather than a test order with every single tool.

Here are the dimensions we weighed, with the rough thresholds we looked for:

• Free plan or trial. Can you start without paying? We favored apps with a genuine free plan or at least a real trial so that beginners can test before spending.
• Platform integrations. Does it connect to your store? We checked for Shopify at minimum, and gave credit for WooCommerce, Wix, and BigCommerce since Oberlo was Shopify-only.
• Product import and research. Can you import products in a few clicks, and does it help you find products in the first place?
• Supplier and sourcing options. AliExpress, local US/EU suppliers, or an agent? We looked at where the products ship from.
• Order fulfillment and tracking. Can it place orders in bulk and automatically sync tracking numbers, so you're not copying details by hand?
• Pricing and inventory automation. Does it update prices and stock automatically, so you don't oversell a product that's run out?
• Reviews and reliability. We checked Shopify App Store ratings and review counts, and we note them per tool where they add useful context.

The 15 tools below made the cut because each one covers a real use case Oberlo left behind. You can read more about how we research and rank tools in our editorial policy.

A few questions to ask yourself first

1. Is a free trial or free account important for you?
2. If you're going to spend money on a dropshipping app, then what's your budget? If you already know this, you can skip the ones outside that budget.
3. Do you still want to use Shopify? Or are you interested in other ecommerce platforms like WooCommerce?
4. Do you still want to use AliExpress? Or do you want to move on to local dropshipping suppliers that ship from the country you're selling in? Or maybe even a different model like print on demand?
5. Do you want an app that does more than just order fulfillment, like product research too? Or are you okay using multiple apps to get the job done?

The best Oberlo alternatives for AliExpress dropshipping

Ready to learn more about the Oberlo alternatives mentioned above?

Below you'll find an in-depth look at each one, so you can pick the right fit for your business.

We'll start with the apps you can use if you still want AliExpress, then move on to the ones with their own local suppliers.

Keep the questions above in mind to pick the right app for your needs!

Let's get started:

1. DSers

Best for: The closest, official Oberlo replacement for AliExpress dropshipping.

Not for: Anyone who wants to skip AliExpress for fast local shipping.

Let's start with the one that Shopify and Oberlo recommend their users move to: DSers!

DSers became the go-to replacement when Oberlo shut down on June 30, 2022, so it's the natural first stop.

It's an AliExpress dropshipping app that lets you automate orders, track shipments, and manage products in one place.

It's also popular. DSers holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 5,046 reviews on the Shopify App Store, which is one of the strongest scores of any app on this list.

Key features

• Official partner of AliExpress. DSers works with AliExpress, which promotes DSers as its official dropshipping solution partner.
• A generous free plan. Unlike Oberlo, DSers includes bulk orders, the DSers Chrome extension, and automatic order and tracking sync on its free plan. Oberlo gated those behind a paid tier.
• Integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, and Wix. This is a big win for anyone not on Shopify, since Oberlo was Shopify-only.
• PayPal order tracking service. DSers can auto-sync tracking numbers to your PayPal account and your store, which helps reduce the risk of PayPal holds as your order volume climbs.
• Supplier Optimizer. Paste an AliExpress link, and DSers finds other suppliers selling the same product, so you can compare ratings and prices before you commit.

Pricing

The great thing is that DSers offers a free account option, so you can try it out to see if it's for you!

There are limits on the free account, such as a cap on the number of products, but the paid plans start at around $20 per month; you can learn more here.

2. AliScraper

Best for: Free AliExpress imports if you already use Spocket.

Not for: Anyone who needs a full standalone automation suite.

This next one is an AliExpress dropshipping app called AliScraper, made by the team at Spocket.

We cover Spocket in more detail later, but AliScraper is worth a quick mention as a great way to keep dropshipping from AliExpress!

Key features

• Great if you're using Spocket as well. Since they use the same account, you can combine your US suppliers and your AliExpress suppliers in one place. For example:

This is ingenious!

No need to add multiple apps in your store to be able to source from different suppliers and from AliExpress.

Source: Sherlyn

• Bulk orders. Same as with DSers, you can process hundreds of orders at once.
• Integration with Loox. You can import AliExpress product reviews and photos.
• Multiple ecommerce platforms. Since Spocket offers so many integrations, AliScraper does too, including Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Wix.

Pricing

The best part is that AliScraper is free to use!

You can create an account and start using it for free.

3. Zopi

Best for: Shopify users who want simple AliExpress imports and auto-fulfillment.

Not for: WooCommerce or Wix stores.

The next Oberlo alternative is a Shopify app called Zopi (formerly Ali Orders).

And if you're using Shopify, Zopi is an amazing tool!

It's basically an all-in-one solution that helps you find and import the best-selling AliExpress products to your store.

What's more, you can also set pricing rules and fulfill orders automatically with just a few clicks!

Key features

• Find best-selling AliExpress products. Source trending items on AliExpress to elevate your product catalog.

• Auto-fulfills AliExpress orders. Automate order placement and fulfillment to save time and effort!

• 1-click import and push to store. Push AliExpress products to your store with a built-in product info editor.

Pricing

Zopi's current price ranges from $0 to $99.90 per month, and the main difference between the plans is the number of products you can import:

4. Dropified

Best for: Mapping multiple suppliers to a single product and building bundles.

Not for: Beginners who want the cheapest possible start.

Another solid option is Dropified.

Just like Oberlo, Dropified is an app you can use to automate your dropshipping business.

Key features

• Bulk fulfillment. With Dropified, importing and publishing product descriptions, images, and titles is easy thanks to the one-click add-to-store feature.
• Add multiple suppliers per product. Dropified lets you map several suppliers to a single product and assign each one to a different variant. It makes your life a whole lot easier!
• Unique product bundles. Choose which products to bundle, and Dropified maps the matching suppliers and fulfills orders as they come in.
• Import from more than just AliExpress. You can also import products from sites like eBay. (More info here)

Pricing

Their price is currently $47 per month, but it's cheaper if you pay annually.

Dropified also offers a 14-day free trial!

5. Sell The Trend

Best for: Finding products and importing them from one dashboard.

Not for: Anyone who only needs order fulfillment and nothing more.

Let's continue this list with Sell The Trend.

Sell The Trend is an all-in-one platform that lets you find, import, and automate your dropshipping business.

So if you answered 'yes' to wanting an app that does more than order fulfillment, then Sell The Trend is for you!

For more information about Sell The Trend, check out our in-depth review here!

Key features

• A built-in product research tool. So you can find products that are in high demand and likely to sell well. (Their tool started as a product research tool.)
• Multiple supplier options. You can connect your store to AliExpress and CJdropshipping.
• Shopify alternative. You can create an AI-generated dropshipping store in minutes with SellShop.

Pricing

The current price of Sell The Trend is $39.95 per month, but it's cheaper if you pay yearly.

Just keep in mind that you're not only paying for an Oberlo alternative here.

You're getting a great product research tool as well!

6. SaleHoo Dropship

Best for: Beginners who want vetted suppliers and support.

Not for: Anyone who wants a free plan.

The next tool, called SaleHoo Dropship, is created by the team from the SaleHoo Directory.

SaleHoo is a highly rated dropshipping brand (just check out their Trustpilot page here), and it launched the dropship app to help more dropshippers.

According to SaleHoo, their directory lists 8,000+ verified suppliers, which is why it leans more toward supplier vetting than pure automation.

SaleHoo's current plans now bundle supplier-directory access with SaleHoo Dropship's Shopify importer.

We've let them know, so hopefully they add this soon.

Key features

• 1-click import of AliExpress products. What's unique is their pool of over 1,000 pre-vetted suppliers, which lets you dropship higher-quality products. That can mean lower refund rates and fewer customer complaints.
• They help with product research. Simply click on a niche and filter your search criteria!
• 24/7 support with dropshipping experts. They'll help you get started!

Pricing

SaleHoo's current plans cost $9 or $49 per month, billed annually. Lifetime access costs $299 for Starter or $1,699 for Pro.

SaleHoo does not offer a free account, but you can start with a seven-day trial for $1.

7. AutoDS

Best for: Hands-off automation across Shopify, Wix, and marketplaces.

Not for: Anyone on a very tight budget who just needs basic imports.

Next up is AutoDS!

This dropshipping app was founded by dropshippers in 2016.

The idea behind AutoDS was to build an all-in-one solution that helps dropshippers save time and automate their business processes, from product research to order fulfillment.

At first, they focused mainly on eBay, but they've moved to Shopify as well! They even have a tool for dropshipping on the Facebook Marketplace.

On the Shopify App Store, AutoDS has a 4.3/5 rating based on 1,270 reviews.

AutoDS also claims that they have 100,000+ sellers.

Key features

• Automatic tracking number updates. Save hours by automating tracking updates to your buyers. Once tracking info is available from your supplier, AutoDS grabs the details and updates your customers.
• Product research tool included. They've built a product research tool into AutoDS to help you find great products to sell.
• Fulfilled By AutoDS option. With features like one-click returns, setting a maximum order price, Hipshipper support, and more!

Pricing

The price of AutoDS depends on how many products you want to import and how many features you want!

For starters, their Shopify and Wix plans start at $24 per month, and they offer a 30-day trial for $1 30-day trial.

8. Dropshipman

Best for: Sourcing from AliExpress, Temu, or Shein with a free plan

Not for: Anyone who wants local US/EU warehouses.

Next, there's a dropshipping app called Dropshipman!

It's an all-in-one solution with a range of features to automate your business operations, from product research to order processing.

Key features

• Source from multiple websites. You can source products from AliExpress, Temu, or Shein!
• Simple and smart order processing. Like AutoDS, it updates tracking info and automatically syncs your stock.

Pricing

Their paid plans start at $29.90 per month, and they also offer a free plan:

9. AliDropship (for WooCommerce)

Best for: WordPress users who want a one-time fee instead of a subscription.

Not for: Shopify stores or non-technical beginners.

The next Oberlo alternative is for those of you running your store on WordPress and WooCommerce.

It's a plugin called AliDropship, which lets you import products from AliExpress into your WooCommerce store with just a few clicks!

The plugin gives you access to a database of 50,000+ handpicked products, according to AliDropship, and it runs on a one-time license rather than a monthly Shopify fee.

One handy extra is Sellvia. It's a US fulfillment service built by AliDropship that stocks popular products in a warehouse in Irvine, California, then ships them to US customers quickly on your behalf.

That's a real fix for the slow shipping that comes with sourcing directly from Asia.

Tip: Don't forget that there's always an option to migrate from Shopify to WooCommerce if that's something you're interested in now that Oberlo is gone.

For more information about AliDropship, check out our in-depth review here!

Key features

• No monthly fees. Just a one-time payment of $89, and you still get lifelong support and updates. Since Oberlo's paid plan was around $30 per month, a one-time license can pay for itself in a few months.
• Free AliExpress review importer. The plugin can import reviews directly from AliExpress, so you don't need a separate app.
• Easy AliExpress Cashback. You can enable AliExpress Cashback with AliDropship without much effort. You can read more about that in this article here.

Pricing

AliDropship has two options. The first is to buy their WooCommerce plugin for a one-time fee of $89.

The second option is to go with their AliDropship Custom store solution, which builds a custom dropshipping store for you starting at $299.

The best Oberlo alternatives that don't use AliExpress

Ready to move on from AliExpress to more local suppliers?

Here's the trade-off in one line: AliExpress apps like DSers keep costs low but ship slowly, while local-supplier tools cost more per item and ship far faster.

Why does that matter? AliExpress Standard Shipping to the US typically takes 15 to 45 days, according to Shopify, and local US or EU suppliers can cut that to a few days.

Shipping from China also got trickier in 2025.

The US removed the $800 duty-free de minimis threshold for imports from China in May 2025, which can add customs costs and delays to China-fulfilled orders.

If you're not sure yet, check out our article about dropshipping outside China here.

Below you'll find our top recommendations:

1. Spocket

Best for: Fast US/EU shipping and branded orders.

Not for: Beginners on the tightest budget, since there's no free plan and items cost more.

Do you remember the AliExpress tool called AliScraper from above?

As mentioned, that tool is made by Spocket!

Spocket is a dropshipping app that lets you connect directly with suppliers in the US and EU to build an inventory of high-quality goods with faster shipping.

Spocket says around 80% of its suppliers are based in the US or EU, which is how it gets shipping down from weeks to just a few days.

There is a trade-off, though. Those US/EU products usually cost more than the AliExpress equivalent, so your margins can be tighter unless you price for it.

For more information about Spocket, check out our Spocket review here.

Key features

• Order samples. With Spocket, you can order samples in a few clicks to test the products and suppliers!
• Many integration options. Spocket integrates with ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce.
• Branded invoicing. You can add branded invoices to your packages for a more polished unboxing, which helps with repeat customers. This unlocks on the Pro plan.

Pricing

You'll see Spocket's pricing plans below:

Exclusive Spocket offer: Enter the coupon code: SpocketTrial during checkout, and you'll instantly unlock a FREE 30-day trial. Click here to redeem your free trial now!

If you're interested in Spocket but don't want to pay anything yet, you can sign up for their free 7-day trial to browse through Spocket's catalog.

2. CJdropshipping

Best for: Sourcing plus warehouse fulfillment with no monthly fee.

Not for: Anyone who wants a simple, minimal app.

Next up is CJdropshipping!

CJdropshipping is an all-in-one solution that helps you source and ship your dropshipping products.

It's also well-rated, with a 4.9 out of 5 from 2,519 reviews on the Shopify App Store.

They have warehouses in various regions of the world!

CJ operates 50+ warehouses globally, including 4 US warehouses, which is how it can offer US-to-US delivery in roughly 2 to 5 days.

For example, in their US warehouse, CJdropshipping currently offers over 7000 unique products; you can browse through them here.

Didn't find the product you were looking for?

No worries! CJdropshipping lets you post a sourcing request, meaning they'll find and stock that specific product for you.

However, you'll need to create an account first before posting a sourcing request, which you can do here.

For more information about CJdropshipping, check out our CJdropshipping review here.

Key features

• Offers an app. CJdropshipping has both a web app and a Shopify app that let you import products to your store with just a few clicks!
• No hidden charges. There are no setup fees, storage fees, monthly fees, or minimum order amounts. You only pay the product's price and shipping.
• Fast shipping and processing. When using CJdropshipping's US warehouse, most orders are processed within 1 business day, and with the USPS+ shipping method, the product arrives in 2 to 5 days!

Pricing

CJdropshipping is free to use!

There are no monthly expenses with CJdropshipping. The service fee is included in the product and shipping charges.

3. HyperSKU

Best for: A sourcing agent that handles quality control and packaging.

Not for: Very small stores just testing their first product.

HyperSKU is a platform that aims to be a one-stop dropshipping solution.

As a dropshipping agent platform, HyperSKU helps with sourcing products from factories, quality control, and package customization.

If you're not sure what a dropshipping agent is, check out our other article here!

For more information about HyperSKU, check out our HyperSKU review here.

Key features

• Automated. HyperSKU lets you fulfill orders in bulk. On top of that, tracking numbers and order statuses automatically sync to your store!
• Quick shipping. According to HyperSKU, packages can ship worldwide within 7 calendar days.
• Refund policy. HyperSKU offers a 100% refund for defective products.

Pricing

Signing up to HyperSKU is free. In the past, the platform charged a 2% handling fee, but that fee is currently waived!

4. Syncee

Best for: Finding suppliers by location, including the UK.

Not for: Anyone who wants a single-marketplace AliExpress workflow.

The next platform on this list is called Syncee.

Syncee is a B2B platform for dropshippers, retailers, and suppliers. Simply put, it's a place where dropshippers and retailers find their suppliers!

For more information about Syncee, check out our Syncee review here.

Key features

• Chat with suppliers feature. Using Syncee's built-in communication tool, you can ask suppliers some important questions before partnering with them.
• Location filter for suppliers. If you're looking for suppliers in the UK, this is a great feature, as you'll find them with minimal effort!
• Auto order feature. When integrated with their app, for example Syncee's Shopify app, new orders are automatically forwarded to your supplier when a customer buys from your store.

Pricing

Syncee is free to use if you need 25 or fewer products in your store!

However, for stores with more than 25 published products, Syncee's pricing plans range from $29 to $129 per month:

Exclusive Syncee Offer for Shopify and Wix users: Use DoDropshipping10 during checkout to enjoy a 10% off on the Pro, Business, Plus Marketplace plans. This offer is valid with your first subscription plan and for a limited time. Don't miss out!

5. AppScenic

Best for: Automation with worldwide suppliers and an escrow safety net.

Not for: Anyone who wants a large, established review base before trying an app.

Next up is the dropshipping app that's all about AI: AppScenic.

Their goal is to build a complete dropshipping toolkit, with things like product syncing, auto-ordering, shipment tracking, and smart payments!

They started because the solutions they found didn't offer a complete range of services to automate an online business and make life easier.

Right now, AppScenic supports popular ecommerce platforms and marketplaces such as eBay, Shopify, Wix, and WooCommerce:

Key features

• A ton of worldwide dropshipping suppliers. They currently have 385 unique suppliers and ship from 40+ countries.
• Price syncing. Almost-instant sync between your product prices and suppliers' prices. This way, you never miss a price change.
• Auto-ordering. You can set up auto-orders, so you never have to place an order with your supplier manually again!
• Escrow system. AppScenic handles returns and refunds through the platform rather than the suppliers, which adds a layer of protection.

Pricing

AppScenic offers a free 7-day trial, so you can try out its features before committing to a paid plan.

After the free trial, their plans start at $29/month and go up to $89/month.

Another nice touch is a free account option to browse the platform!

6. Printful

Best for: Selling your own designs with in-house printing.

Not for: Anyone who wants to resell existing branded products.

As mentioned in the questions above, are you ready to try something else now that Oberlo is gone?

If so, why not give print on demand a try?

One print on demand supplier example is Printful!

Printful is a print on demand and warehousing company that prints, packages, and ships your products for you!

It's the highest-rated print on demand pick here, with a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 3,261 reviews on the Shopify App Store.

For more information about Printful, check out our Printful review here.

Related article: 15 Best print on demand Companies and Suppliers in 2026

Key features

• No outsourcing. Everything at Printful happens in-house. Communication and product sourcing are more efficient when everything is under the same roof.
• Quality. Since everything is made in-house, the product quality is reliable and consistent. It's some of the best quality per dollar compared to the competition.

Pricing

While you can use Printful without monthly subscription fees, there's also a Printful Growth plan of $24.99 per month that unlocks extra perks:

You can also expect the following extra costs:

• Digitization. For embroidery, files need to be digitized to a format the machines support. This is a one-time fee of $2.95 to $6.50 per new design, depending on the design's type and placement.
• Extra customization. Printful offers extra options like additional large prints ($5.95 per extra print), sleeve prints ($2.49 per short sleeve and $5.95 per long sleeve), and inside and outside apparel labels ($2.49 per label).
• Premium images. Printful lets you customize products with premium photos. Premium Images for your designs cost $1 plus tax per image and placement.

Other Oberlo alternatives worth knowing

The 15 tools above cover most needs, but a few other names come up often, so here's where they fit.

• Modalyst. A supplier marketplace featuring US and independent brands, plus AliExpress items, that integrates with Shopify, Wix, and BigCommerce. A good look if you want curated brands alongside faster-shipping options.
• Importify. An import app that pulls products from many sources, including AliExpress, Amazon, and Etsy. Handy if you want to import from multiple marketplaces.
• Zendrop. An all-in-one AliExpress alternative with a large catalog, faster shipping options, and custom branding. It has a 4.3/5 rating from 1,188 reviews on the Shopify App Store.
• Eprolo. A free dropshipping and fulfillment tool with branding and print on demand options. Worth a look if you want a no-monthly-fee sourcing app.

How to start dropshipping without Oberlo

To start dropshipping without Oberlo, pick one supplier app from this list, connect it to your store, import products, set your pricing and stock rules, then let it fulfill orders.

The steps mirror what Oberlo did, just with a more capable app doing the work.

Here's the simple version:

1. Pick a supplier app. Use the table above to choose one. DSers is the safe default for AliExpress, and Spocket is the pick if you want faster US/EU shipping.
2. Connect it to your store. Install the app on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, or whichever platform you use, and link your account.
3. Import your products. Add products to your store in a few clicks, then edit the titles, images, and descriptions so they don't look like everyone else's.
4. Set pricing and stock rules. Turn on pricing rules and inventory sync so prices and stock update automatically and you don't oversell.
5. Fulfill and track orders. When a sale comes in, place the order through the app and let it sync the tracking number back to your customer.
