Spocket Review

In today’s post, I’ll do a thorough Spocket review for both Shopify and WooCommerce dropshipping to help you make an informed decision.

If you’ve come across any dropshipping advertisements, you’ll notice they sound simpler than they are in the actual sense. The ad copy is usually “a business with no capital” and that’s what most people want.

A fast buck with less effort. However, in the real sense, dropshipping is quite promising. But there various factors that’ll determine the success of your business.

Factors like the quality of your products, your shipping time, supplier quality, selling hot products and finally your selling platform.

This and more are usually some of the factors that determine how successful a drop shipping business is going to be.

In today’s Spocket review I’ll be unveiling the FINE and UGLY truth about the dropshipping app and basically everything you need to know.

What Is Spocket?

Spocket is a complete package dropshipping app that allows you to start a dropshipping business with supplier base in the US and EU.

It allows you to easily search and connect with suppliers closer to your customer from their huge marketplace so as to enjoy the 2 – 14 days shipping delivery.

The app equally allows you to easily search and import products from tens of thousands of their products catalogues across various supplier on the platform.

With their one-click import button, you can be rest assured of having a fully automated dropshipping store with both Shopify and WooCommerce.

Also interesting about Spocket is the fact that you can order for sample products and evaluate them yourself before selling them.

Their marketplace is known for high-quality goods with up to 60% discount leaving you with a higher markup on each product.

How Does Spocket Works?

If you’re familiar with Oberlo dropshipping then you should have an idea of what Spocket does (Oberlo and Spocket Are Quite Similar). However, this time around, you don’t have to dropship with AliExpress and its long shipping time.

Instead, Spocket allows you to search and choose products based on where you want to ship products from and where the products are going.

That is, if your targeted customers are based in Canada, you’ll have the opportunity to source products from Canada-based suppliers and have the products shipped to them as fast as possible.

This way, both you and your customers go home happily ever after.

In addition to this, you can easily search for products you want to import to your Shopify store based on keyword or the price filter.

Either way, the app is built to give you an automated business that requires little effort from your part.

The product fulfilment is completely automated whereby everything is done on your behalf, you can then focus on other important aspects of your dropshipping business while Spocket handles the rest.

Spocket Review: Best Features

The primary feature with Spocket that makes it stand out is the fact that you can have a less than 5 days shipping of products from various suppliers scatter around US and EU with up to 60% discount on each product.

Amongst other features you’ll enjoy while using the Spocket app includes the following:

• Huge Catalogs of Products

From the Spocket marketplace, you’ll have the ability to search for varieties of products from their hundreds of thousands of products catalogues that fit specific store niches. You could search with keyword option or use the price filter.

At the same time, you also have the option of sourcing products based on supplier location across various part of the world.

Not just that, Spocket have been able to stand out because of their high-quality products catalogue. All merchants are especially verified with intensive screening procedure before their products can be listed on Spocket Marketplace.

All these are to ensure Spocket users have a quality relationship experience with their supplier as well as selling high-quality products.

• Faster Shipping Time

This is one of my favourite parts with Spocket. It allows you to enjoy fast shipping of your products and invariably makes your customer happy.

However, the shipping days may vary on different products and supplier location. But you can always check this before importing the store to your Shopify or WooCommerce store.

This owes to the fact that more than 60% of suppliers on Spocket are based in the US and EU compared to sourcing for products from other popular dropshipping websites in China.

With this, you can enjoy more purchasing experience with your customers and have their products deliver fasters, which is going going to earn your store a better reputation.

• One-click Product Import

The one-click import button saves you the stress of adding products image, description and many other kinds of stuff that can easily do away your time. With the import button, you can easily import as many products as you want automatically.

Also, from your import list option, you have the chance to edit products to your own taste before you finally pushing it to your Shopify store.

This will allow you to re-write products description for SEO purposes and as well change products price to suit your own profit margin.

• Automated Order Fulfilment

Once your customer made a purchase all their data’s such address etc. will be generated on your checkout page which will be sent over to the supplier.

Immediately orders are sent, you’ll receive an email confirmation and your supplier will get started with shipping of the products to your customer.

Immediately the order is shipped, you’ll see a track order button on your dashboard with details of stats and location of the products, which is automatically sent to your customer as well.

This feature makes the whole process easier and allows no room for mistake since it’s automated and not done manually.

With this, you can run your day to day activities with more peace of mind without having to bother on several tasks to do about your dropshipping store.

How to Cancel Order on Spocket

Perhaps, you feel like cancelling any of your processed order on Spocket before they are shipped. Here’s how to do it.

• First, email your cancellation request to support@spocket.com
• Secondly, include the order number and the name of the product
• Finally, give a short reason why you need to cancel the order.

Once you’ve done that the customer support team at Spocket will review your request and do as right. However, they can only cancel Order that has not been shipped.

• Price Mark-Up

The pricing Mark-Up features allow you to automate the entire pricing process of your store. You can either choose the option of multiplier, Percentage or the fixed price.

Whichever you do will affect the profit turnover of your store.

For example, let’s say you’re using the multiplier markup type. A $20 product price with 2.5 markups will automatically change to $50.

You could also set up a cent roundup for your entire products. For example, using a .99cents will round up your products to $50.99.

The profit margin on Spocket is another big deal that made the platform standout. You can make 30 – 60% profits margin on all product sold by you.

Which is unlike other dropshipping platforms.

• Product Customization

Product customization allows you to edit products before you finally publish to your Shopify or WooCommerce store.

From your import list page, you can rewrite the product’s title, add tags and edit the products description page in other for your products to get index faster by the search engine.

Equally, you can also go through the product variant and check out variants you don’t want to sell. Lastly, you can edit the product’s image by adding “alt” text in order for it to get indexed quickly and rank higher on various search engine results.

• Branded Invoicing

This is one of the options and features available on Spocket that can’t be found elsewhere. Using Spocket gives you the ability to customize yourself as a brand by the virtue of adding an invoice to your product package.

This will create more trust in your customers toward your store and as well make your products stand-out and more authentic.

• Sample Product Orders

Just to assure you about your product quality, Spocket makes it easy for all users irrespective of your plan to order for sample products.

This will allow you to personally examine the product yourself if it’s what you expect it to be. Knowing the quality of your product will also help reduce product refunds.

This is just another factor on Spocket that makes the platform standard and unique. No matter your business model, you should have a personal experience with the product and services you’re pushing to your customers.

In case you want to order for sample products, you can always do that from the product page. However, you can only order a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5 products.

Once you’re set, just follow the procedure as if you’re buying the actual products. The supplier will be notified of your order as soon as the payment went through.

• Supplier Screening Process

Spocket have some strong measures every seller has to meet before they can be accepted as a seller in the Spocket Marketplace.

Which happens to be the reason why products and supplier in Spocket marketplace are the best of the best. Let’s have a look at what the process looks like:

#1. Through Application

Sellers trying to be a part of the supplier based on Spocket Marketplace have to apply through their application form.

And this can only be approved when they meet the required standard of Spocket marketplace. Like how fast the supplier is willing to ship, the kind of products, product quality etc.

#2. Interview with Supplier

An interview is also scheduled with any supplier interested to be a part of the Spocket Marketplace.

This will allow them to thoroughly investigate the supplier and learn more about their business like history of their sales and every other important aspect of their business as a whole.

#3. Supplier Product Test

This is done to finally examine the product of the seller before they can be listed as a supplier on the Spocket.

The product test will allow the Spocket team to know what their platform users should expect from the supplier.

Expectation like how they package the product, how long it took the supplier to have it process, the shipping time and various other important factors.

All these are put in place to allow merchants to enjoy the best user experience on the Spocket dropshipping platform.

• Premium Product

As part of Spocket review, I think it’s important you know that Spocket equally offers premium products which are carefully curated products that are proven to convert the most.

The premium products are only available to the paid members of Spocket both on Shopify and WooCommerce.

Other unique attributes of the premium products include:

• Faster Process and Delivery Time
• They are highly discounted product with amazing profit margin
• Regularly updated; this means more and more of the products are being added on a regular basis.
• And much more…
• Automatic Inventory Update

As a dropshipper, you can’t have access to your supplier inventory and of which it’s important to know if your supplier products are up to date or not.

This will protect you from selling a product that is out of stock. However, you don’t have to worry about any of this as they entire process is automated by Spocket.

Your product inventory is constantly updated and as soon as a product is out of stock you’ll be notified immediately.  This way, you can quickly and easily change supplier to one having the product in stock.

• Customer Support

Spocket offers great support to all its users. However, the quality of their support is based on your subscription plan. The free plan has access to email support only. While the paid plan enjoys chats and email support and even calls.
