Quick Verdict: Pros and Cons

After experimenting with all of Tradelle’s product and supplier research tools, Shopify import feature, and automation capabilities I can definitely say it’s a worthwhile tool.

Tradelle doesn’t just help you find more profitable products, it ensures you can rapidly add them to your store, automate fulfilment processes, and keep your customers up-to-date with instant status updates.

It does suffer from a few limitations, like limited integration options for ecommerce platforms outside of Shopify, and slightly slow customer support. But all around, it’s a fantastic product.

What is Tradelle? Overview and Key Features

Tradelle is a market research, and product analysis toolkit, designed to support dropshippers. It makes it easy to access behind-the-scenes insights into purchasing trends, profitable products, high-value suppliers, and more, so you can boost your company’s revenue fast.

What’s more, this solution goes beyond simply offering detailed analytics and metrics. It can also streamline dropshipping processes.

You can add products from Tradelle to Shopify with a single click, implement automatic shipment rules, and track order status updates and delivery times.

Tradelle even goes a little further than most companies to support dropshippers – it recently introduced a series of “Online Courses”, to accompany its blog and help center, intended to help companies start, grow, and sustain their dropshipping businesses.

Here’s a rundown of the top features of Tradelle, and what you might like and dislike about them.

Product Insights

Probably the most impressive feature of Tradelle is it’s product research solution. The platform offers access to a gigantic product database, drawing information from a range of different marketplaces, including Amazon, and AliExpress.

You can search through products manually, looking for items you’re interested in, or take advantage of the “Product Picks” section on your Tradelle dashboard. This shows you a range of the highest-performing products chosen by Tradelle’s research team based on quality and potential.

Each product you review comes with plenty of data to explore. You can even filter through products based on niche, problems solved, prices, revenue, ROI, and profits.

Once you choose a product you’re interested in, you’ll instantly see the cost, selling price, and the profits you might earn.

You can even see the number of recent Amazon sales and AliExpress orders. Plus, there’s an overview of product descriptions, competitors, and stores that are already selling the same product.

Current Trends: Insights into Purchasing Patterns

Underneath the “Product Picks” tab on Tradelle, you’ll find the “Current Trends” option – one of my favorite features of the platform.

It shows you instantly which products are currently gaining the most attention in various niches, helping you pick great options for your collection.

Just like with the product picks, you can click on trending products to learn more about how much searches for that product have increased within a specific time frame. There’s also a rundown of potential competitors you’ll need to be aware of.

One particularly impressive feature is the “related products” section, which shows you the types of items you could consider selling alongside trending products to increase your average order value. Plus, you can access a handy list of customer reviews that you can import directly to your store, adding credibility to your product pages.

Tradelle even lists influencers who have promoted those trending products in the past, so you know who to reach out to for help with your marketing strategies.

Product Sourcing and Store Imports

Aside from giving you all the insights you need to choose the right dropshipping products for your store, Tradelle also makes it simple to find manufacturers with the best pricing. When you click on a product you want to add to your store, the sourcing team from Tradelle will contact manufacturers on your behalf, to negotiate a price.

Since Tradelle’s team sources products directly from manufacturers, there are no middleman that might make managing your supplier network more complex.

Tradelle even gives you access to convenient communication tools, plus, their on-site quality assurance team checks the quality of each product on your behalf.

Once you find your manufacturer, you’ll be able to import your products (with all of the details, including descriptions, images, videos, reviews, and pricing) straight to your store in one click. All you need to do is take advantage of the Tradelle Shopify integration.

Store and Order Fulfillment Automation

Finally, Tradelle ensures you can maintain complete visibility into your fulfillment process, and automate various processes with a couple of clicks. After you connect Tradelle to Shopify, you’ll be able to automate everything from order processing to status tracking.

If you’ve ever been worried about long processing times using platforms like AliExpress, Tradelle can help here too.

They promise 24-hour processing (although exact delivery times can vary). Most orders should reach customers within 6-10 days, but you can also choose from a range of shipping options if you want to ensure speedy delivery.

The solution will also automatically deduct payments from your account as soon as your customers pay for their item, so you don’t have to worry about handling finances yourself.

As soon as orders are processed, you’ll be able to monitor them throughout transit, so you can respond to any customer queries confidently.

The Pricing and Fees

So, how much does all of this functionality cost? The good news is there’s a free plan for beginners, but you’ll be limited to sourcing and selling only 50 products, and you won’t access some of the most advanced reports and features of the platform.

There’s technically only one “paid” plan, but you can choose to pay for it in different ways. The monthly plan will cost you $29.99 per month, the annual subscription works out at $19.99 per month, or you can access a lifetime subscription for $479.

I definitely think the lifetime option is worthwhile if you’re planning on using this solution long-term, as it will save you a lot of money in the future.

All plans come with a 7-day free trial, and a 7-day money-back guarantee. Plus, you get all of the features of the Tradelle platform on every paid plan.

Ease of Use and Customer Support

Once you get used to all of the features of Tradelle, using it to source products and automate fulfillment is very straightforward. However, there is a little bit of a learning curve at first. Remember, this platform gives you access to a lot of different data and reports, so it can be a little overwhelming when you’re first getting started.

Still, the dashboard is clean and intuitive, and there are plenty of tooltips and tutorials to help guide you through using the system.

You’ll also get a step-by-step guide to help you integrate Tradelle with Shopify and set up fulfillment processes. Once you’re tuned into the platform, most tasks, like connecting with suppliers, only take a few minutes.

If you do find yourself in need of extra support, there’s a live chat or email option to reach the team. There aren’t any phone support options, but there is a handy FAQ guide, and you can sometimes access help from the team through social media too.

For the most part, Tradelle is very responsive and helpful, but during busy periods, you might need to wait a little longer for answers to your questions.

Tradelle Review: The Verdict

Although the platform can take a little getting used to, I think Tradelle is a brilliant resource for dropshipping companies.

It gives you access to extremely comprehensive product and supplier data, powerful analysis tools, and great options for automating fulfillment.

The seamless integration with Shopify is also extremely useful, although I do wish there were more integration options for other ecommerce platforms.

Overall, if you’re using Shopify as your ecommerce platform, and want to upgrade your dropshipping strategy, Tradelle is a tool you should definitely consider investing in.
