Zendrop offers a range of plans to suit both new and experienced sellers. This article breaks down what each plan includes, how trials work, and what features require a paid subscription.
Two billing models: Zendrop has two billing models, Standard Plans (billed directly through Zendrop) and Usage-Based Billing (billed through Shopify). This article covers both. Not sure which model you're on? Check your current plan here.
Standard Plans (billed directly through Zendrop)
Standard Plans are available to users who joined Zendrop before the switch to Usage-Based Billing. If you're on a Standard Plan, you're billed a flat monthly or annual rate regardless of how many products you link:
Free Plan: $0/month or $0/year. Allows you to log into Zendrop and explore the platform. Very limited access — you cannot import products or process orders.
Pro Plan: $49/month or $399/year. Unlocks essential features including automated fulfillment, custom branding, U.S. products, and more.
Plus Plan: $79/month or $549/year. Includes everything in Pro, plus advanced tools such as coaching calls, Zendrop Academy, private listings, chargeback management, and more.
Usage-Based Billing (billed through Shopify)
Usage-Based Billing (UBB) is the current model for users who sign up through Shopify. Your monthly charge is based on the highest number of products linked at any point during the billing cycle, not your current product count at billing time.
0 linked products: Free (no tier commitment selected)
1–20 linked products: $29/month
21–100 linked products: $49/month
101+ linked products: $79/month (capped — you’ll never pay more than $79/month)
It’s important to note that even if you remove products later, you will still be charged based on the peak number of linked products within that cycle.
Trial Options
Zendrop gives new users the opportunity to test features before committing. A three-day risk-free trial is available under the Usage-Based Billing plan. During this period, you can explore all features, link products, and test the platform without charges. If you do not cancel or reduce your linked products to zero before the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically begin.
From time to time, Zendrop also runs promotional trials or limited-time discounts. Be sure to check the pricing page for the most current offers.
What You Can Do on the Free Plan
The Free plan gives you access to the Zendrop platform so you can explore what's available and find the right plan for your business. Here's what you can do:
Browse the full Zendrop product catalog
Review product details, pricing, and shipping costs before committing
Explore the platform and its features at your own pace
Choose the plan that best fits your business needs
Ready to start selling? Importing products to your store, placing orders, and accessing fulfillment services require a paid plan.
Think of the free plan as your exploration space. You can browse and research products freely. When you're ready to link products to your store and start selling, upgrading to a paid plan unlocks everything you need.
Features Available on Paid Plans
By upgrading to Pro, Plus, or a usage-based subscription, you’ll unlock access to the tools needed to scale your business effectively. These include:
Ability to import products into your store
Sample orders to test quality
Automated fulfillment
Custom branding and packaging options
Access to U.S.-based products for faster shipping
Product research tools such as the Trending Product Finder
Private listings and chargeback support
Coaching calls and the Zendrop Academy- Access to the 'Find Products' tab (requires signing up for the free trial)
Billing and Cancellation
At present, Zendrop accepts payment via credit or debit card. Additional methods such as PayPal and ACH are planned for the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be charged after the trial?
Yes. Unless you cancel or unlink all products before the trial ends, your subscription will begin automatically.
Can I stay on the Free plan? Yes, but with very limited access. On the free plan (or the UBB free tier with 0 linked products), you can explore the platform, but you cannot import products, link them to your store, or process orders. To start selling, you'll need a paid subscription.
What if I exceed my product limit on a usage-based plan?
You will automatically move into the higher billing bracket for that cycle. Even if you unlink products later, the peak number still applies.
