Welcome to Droplink.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to get started — from connecting your Shopify store to importing products and automatically fulfilling your first orders.
You don’t need any technical knowledge. If you follow the steps below, you’ll understand exactly how Droplink works and what to do next.
What you need before you start
Before getting started, make sure you have:
A Shopify store (new or existing)
A Droplink account
Good to know:
👉 You can explore Droplink, connect your store, and research products without adding a payment method.
A payment method is only required when you want to fulfill orders.
Step 1: Connect your Shopify store
To import products and process orders, Droplink needs to be connected to your Shopify store.
Here’s how it works:
Go to My Stores in Droplink
Click Connect Store
Log in to Shopify and approve the connection
Once connected, your store will appear in Droplink automatically.
If you change your Shopify store name later, it will be synced automatically in Droplink.
You can also connect multiple Shopify stores and manage them separately.
Step 2: Find products inside Droplink
Now you’re ready to explore products.
You can discover products through:
Product Research
Trending Products
All product data is pulled directly from our supplier network and updated regularly.
About Credits
Each search or filter action uses credits.
Credits are not money — they simply define how much you can search and analyze products each month.
Your available credits depend on your plan and reset every billing period.
Step 3: Add products to your Shopify store
When you find a product you like, adding it to your store is simple.
Click Add to Store on a product
The product is automatically imported into your Shopify store
Droplink links each product internally so orders can later be processed correctly.
You don’t need to copy anything manually or deal with product IDs.
After importing, you can edit the product in Shopify as usual (title, images, pricing, description).
Step 4: Set up payments for order fulfillment
To automatically fulfill orders, you need to add a payment method in the Balance section.
Here’s what happens:
You add a credit card or PayPal account
A small temporary charge is made for verification and refunded immediately
A fulfillment threshold of $200 is activated
Orders are collected and only charged once the total reaches this threshold.
This avoids small, frequent charges and keeps billing predictable.
Nothing is charged without an order being fulfilled.
Step 5: Choose your fulfillment mode
Droplink gives you full control over how orders are sent to suppliers.
You can choose between:
Instant Fulfill – orders are sent immediately
1-Hour Delay – orders are grouped and sent after 1 hour
24-Hour Delay – orders are grouped and sent after 24 hours
Once an order is fulfilled:
It is sent to the supplier automatically
Tracking information is synced back to Shopify
Order and delivery status update automatically in Droplink
You don’t need to place orders manually.
Step 6: What happens when a customer places an order?
Here’s the full flow, explained simply:
A customer buys a product in your Shopify store
The order appears in Droplink
Droplink fulfills the order based on your selected fulfillment mode
The supplier ships the product
Tracking information is sent back to Shopify automatically
You can follow every step inside Droplink — from order creation to delivery.
