1. Shopee Dropshipping Supplier

I know a handful of potential Shopee dropshipping suppliers, but of course, I will suggest the supplier that I personally partnered with. My Shopee dropshipping supplier is called Bilisbenta. You can check out their website if you want to learn more about them.

What I love the most about “Bilisbenta” is their customer service. You can reach out to them and get a timely reply to your questions. Aside from that, you can start a business with “Bilisbenta” for as low as ₱2,499 per month. They also have a Facebook group where they teach dropshipping entrepreneurs about how to succeed in the business by partnering with them.

Bilisbenta will do all the hard work for you. They will do all the product inventory management, warehousing, and order fulfillment. All you really need to do is to generate a sale and they will do the rest. Here’s how Bilisbenta’s Shopee dropshipping process:

Signup or create your Bilisbenta account.
Choose a catalog or products that you want to sell.
Pay for the catalog monthly subscription.
Give them your three preferred store names.
They will create the store for you ( within 3-7 days).
They will give you the login credentials through email.
Log in to your store and optimize your product listings.
Your store generates sales (organic or through paid ads).
Yes! Cash on delivery is available with Bilisbenta.
Bilisbenta will be notified and they will fulfill the orders.
Log in to your Bilisbenta account and request a payout.

Starting a business is always accompanied by a starting capital or investment; it could be your time, effort, or monetary investment. Launching a Shopee dropshipping business with Bilisbenta is of course, not for free. It should not be called business in the first place if it doesn’t come with an investment. For as low as ₱2,499 per month catalog subscription, you can start a business partnering with Bilisbenta.

2. Optimize Your Shopee Dropshipping Store

Optimizing your Shopee store is the most important thing that you need to do. It involves editing your product title, product description (like adding search keywords), and product images. Without optimizing your product listings, it is nearly impossible to generate sales, not unless you run massive marketing campaigns that will surely cost you more than your catalog subscription to Bilisbenta.

Title And Product Description Optimization

The easiest way to optimize your product title and description are by visiting Shopee’s website homepage. Once you’re there, you can start typing the product keywords (keyword search phrase) of your product and list all the suggested keywords that appear below the search bar. If those particular keywords were suggested, that means lots of people are using that keyword to search for a product inside Shopee’s platform (both website and app). The next thing you need to do is to start editing your product title and description with those suggested keywords included.

Shopee’s website is also considered a search engine where people first search for the products they wanted to buy, so it’s really important that we optimize our product listing (SEO) to eventually get sales organically or sales coming from the search results. There are other factors and reasons for a product listing to rank on the customer’s search results, such as your product’s number of sales and good reviews, so it’s still important to run ads inside Shopee to get your first few customers and get good reviews.

Optimizing Your Product Images

Your product images showcase what your product is all about. It’s one of the primary reasons that affect your customers buying decisions once they see your product listing. So it’s more than important to also edit your product images and make them appealing and beautiful.

You can just simply hire a graphic designer if you have a budget. Graphics designers use tools like Photoshop, so it’s a bonus if you know how to use Photoshop. But if you don’t how to use Photoshop just like me, or you don’t have a huge budget to hire graphic designers, then I would suggest you use a tool called Canva.

I personally use Canva and I even have a video tutorial on how to use it. I use Canva to remove the background for my product pictures, add sales triggers, and even in creating images for my Facebook Ads. Check Canva’s website, or you can also watch my Canva tutorial.

The huge file size of your product images will cause a slow loading speed for your product listing, and you don’t want that to happen. So after editing your product images, make sure to compress the file size before uploading it to your Shopee store. You can use tools like TinyPNG to easily reduce the image file size without affecting the quality of the picture.

3. Marketing Your Shopee Dropshipping Products

Getting sales is our main goal in starting a Shopee dropshipping business. If you’re not making any sales, it means you’re not making a profit or income from your store. Now, the easiest way to start generating sales on your Shopee dropshipping store is through running advertisements inside the Shopee platform.

It would take some time to get organic sales or sales coming from the search results, so I would also suggest that you stay subscribed to Bilisbenta for at least three months. Because for your product to be able to rank on top of your customers’ search results, you need to get sales and good reviews aside from having it optimized like the process that I have mentioned above (adding keywords on your product title and description).

Before you start running advertisements, like search ads inside the Shopee platform, make sure to edit your product images and make it beautiful as you can. You can easily do that by using the tool that I have mentioned above called Canva.
