What Is CJdropshipping?

CJdropshipping is more than a simple product catalog. It combines sourcing, product listings, store authorization, order processing, shipping, tracking, and fulfillment tools.

Large Product Catalog

Browse a large selection of products across many categories.

Product Sourcing

If you cannot find a product already listed, you can submit a sourcing request.

Store Connections

CJ supports direct integrations with many major ecommerce platforms.

Order Automation

Connected-store orders can be pulled into your CJ account for fulfillment.

Shipping Tools

CJ provides tools to compare shipping methods, prices, and estimated delivery times.

Wholesale Options

CJ can also support bulk purchases for sellers who later want to carry inventory.

What Does CJdropshipping Cost?

CJ currently offers a free basic membership. Paid membership levels are optional and provide additional benefits.

Free Plan

CJ currently lists its basic plan at $0 per month.

Product Cost

You pay the product cost when fulfilling your customer's order.

Shipping Cost

Shipping varies based on product, destination, warehouse, and shipping method.

Optional Paid Plans

CJ also offers paid membership levels with additional sourcing requests and other benefits.

Optional Services

Some specialized services, custom packaging, or other upgrades may involve additional costs.

No General MOQ

CJ currently states that its standard dropshipping service does not require a general minimum order quantity.

You do not need a paid CJ membership to begin learning the platform. Start with the free plan and only consider paid features if your business later needs them.

Store & Marketplace Connections

CJ currently supports direct integrations with a wide range of ecommerce platforms.

Shopify

Direct store authorization and product listing tools are available.

WooCommerce

WooCommerce stores can connect directly with CJ.

eBay

CJ currently supports eBay store authorization.

Wix

Wix is among CJ's supported store integrations.

Etsy

Etsy is currently listed among supported connections.

Other Platforms

CJ also currently lists BigCommerce, Squarespace, Magento, PrestaShop, Shoplazza, API connections, and other platforms.

A technical integration does not automatically mean every product or brand can be sold on that marketplace. Always check supplier, brand, and marketplace rules before listing.

CJ Product Sourcing

Product sourcing is one of CJ's most useful tools for sellers who find a product they want to investigate but cannot find it in CJ's existing catalog.

Search First

Search CJ's existing catalog to see whether the product is already available.

Submit a Request

If the item is not available, submit a sourcing request for CJ to investigate.

Review the Result

Compare the sourced cost, shipping, delivery time, and expected profit before listing.

CJ currently includes sourcing requests on its free plan. The number available can vary by user level and membership.

How to Get Started With CJdropshipping

1

Create Your Free CJ Account

Open the CJ registration page and create an account using your email and business information.

2

Learn the Dashboard

Before importing products, locate the product catalog, sourcing tools, store authorization, orders, shipping, and account settings.

3

Authorize Your Store

If you use a supported ecommerce platform, connect your store to CJ through the appropriate authorization process.

4

Choose Your Niche

CJ's catalog is very broad, so define your customer and niche before choosing products.

5

Search the catalog and save products that make sense for your store.

6

Use Sourcing When Needed

If an opportunity is not already in CJ's catalog, consider submitting a sourcing request.

Compare Shipping Options

Review shipping cost and estimated delivery time before deciding whether a product is competitive.

8

Narrow to Your Best 3–5 Products

Compare demand, competition, total cost, shipping, and expected profit.

9

Connect or List the Products

CJ uses product connections to match products in your store with products in its fulfillment system.

Review titles, descriptions, variants, pricing, and product details before publishing.

10

Process and Monitor Orders

When a customer buys, connected orders can appear in CJ for payment and fulfillment.

Monitor tracking and remain responsible for your customer's experience until delivery is complete.

Pay Close Attention to Shipping

One product can have several available shipping methods, warehouses, costs, and estimated delivery times.

Warehouse Location

Check where the product is actually being fulfilled from.

Shipping Method

Compare the available carriers and shipping options.

Total Cost

Add product and shipping cost together before calculating profit.

Delivery Estimate

Make sure expected delivery time matches what you promise customers.

Tracking

Monitor the tracking information provided for customer orders.
