When you import products from Zendrop into your store, you might notice that the prices look different than expected. This happens because Zendrop automatically includes a default profit margin in the Suggested Sales Price when publishing products. This feature is designed to save you time and help ensure you don’t accidentally sell items at cost price.
The good news? You have full control over pricing both before and after publishing products.
How to View and Adjust Your Profit
Before Importing
Open the Zendrop Catalog and select a product.
Click Add to My Products.
Go to the My Products tab and find the item.
Click Review & Publish on the right side of the product.
Under Variants, you’ll see both the Suggested Sales Price and the Profit.
If the suggested price works for you, continue publishing the product.
If not, adjust the Profit % before importing it into your store.
After Importing
If you’ve already imported a product into your store, you can still update its pricing directly within your store’s settings:
Pro Tips
Set a Default Profit %: If you want consistent pricing across all products, adjust your Profit % settings before importing. This way, you won’t have to edit each item manually later.
Zero-Profit Option: You can set your Profit % to 0% if you prefer to start with base cost and set your own pricing strategy from scratch.
Upselling Flexibility: You can always increase the suggested sales price either before publishing or from within your store at any time.
FAQs
Q: Can I remove the profit margin completely?
Yes, you can set the Profit % to zero before importing.
Q: What if I want to price my items higher than the suggested price?
You can increase the sales price either in Zendrop before publishing or later in your store settings.
Q: Why does Zendrop include a profit margin by default?
To save time and prevent users from listing items at cost, Zendrop includes a recommended margin. This ensures your store listings are ready to generate profit right away.
