What is product overriding and how does it work?

Updated over a week ago

The Product Override feature is designed to simplify your store management by allowing you to seamlessly replace a product you’re currently selling from another supplier (e.g., AliExpress or Oberlo) with the same product sourced from Zendrop.

With this feature, you can switch suppliers without needing to edit product links in your ads or disrupt your marketing campaigns, making the transition smooth and hassle-free.


Why Use Product Override?

  • Seamless Supplier Switching: Swap out products from other suppliers for Zendrop products without breaking your ads or marketing campaigns.

  • Save Time: Avoid manually updating product links or IDs.

  • Maintain Consistency: Your product listings and store setup remain intact while improving fulfillment reliability.


How to Use Product Override

Follow these step-by-step instructions to easily replace a product with a Zendrop-sourced one:

  • Log in to Your Zendrop Account
    Start by signing in to your Zendrop dashboard.

  • Search for the Product You Want to Sell
    Use the search bar to find your desired product from Zendrop’s catalog.

  • Add the Product to Your Products
    Once you’ve found the product, click Add to My Products.

  • Go to “My Products”
    From the left-hand menu, select My Products to view your added products.

  • Access the Override Option
    Locate the product you want to switch to and click the three dots on the right-hand side.

  • Select Override.

  • Select the Existing Product to Replace

    remain untouched. It’s a simple and effective way to switch suppliers without the hassle.
