Dropship from China on WooCommerce

A WordPress plugin connects your WooCommerce shop to NinjaBuy. Import from Taobao, Weidian and 1688; paid orders come to us, and the tracking comes back.

  2. Our plugin sends it to usNinjaBuy plugin

  5. Shipped in your box
    Your packaging and insert; our name is nowhere on it

Tracking goes back the same way, to your WooCommerce order.

How it connects

A plugin on your site, on our API.

The plugin sends paid orders for NinjaBuy products to our API and writes stock, prices and tracking back. It needs your site on HTTPS with WooCommerce's REST API on.

  1. Install the NinjaBuy plugin

    From your WordPress admin, then paste the API key from your NinjaBuy account.

  2. Import, or link what you sell

    Finds come in as normal WooCommerce products, or match them to ones you have.

  3. Top up your NinjaBuy balance

    Each order is paid from it as it arrives, so nothing waits for you to click.

  4. Orders come to us by themselves

    Paid orders for NinjaBuy products reach us. Tracking is added to the order.

What you get

Your WooCommerce shop, stocked from China.

  • Import from China

    Paste a Taobao, Weidian or 1688 link, or a finds sheet. Every variant comes in with photos and its cost in CN¥ and dollars.

  • Know the margin first

    Our fees, a shipping estimate, your payment fees, prices of similar items on eBay, a suggested price and what you keep.

  • Price and stock sync

    We re-check every product. Sold out sets your WooCommerce stock to 0; a price rise reprices or pauses it, by your rule.

  • Orders, handled

    Each order is paid from your NinjaBuy balance, bought from the seller in China and followed until it reaches us.

  • QC photos

    Every item is opened and photographed in our warehouse. You see the real thing before it ships.

  • Your branded box

    Your packaging, label and thank-you card. NinjaBuy's name is nowhere on the parcel.

Rules to know

Self-hosted means the rules are yours to keep.

No marketplace stands between you and your buyer, so consumer law and your payment provider set the limits.

  • Say how long shipping really takes

    In the US, the FTC's mail order rule asks for a reasonable basis for any shipping time you state, and for a cancel and refund when you can't meet it. Show the China-to-door time.

  • Your payment provider's list

    Card processors publish products they won't take payments for, and counterfeits are on them. Breaking the list can freeze your payouts.

  • Your site has to reach us

    Orders come to us when your site sends them. If it's down, or a security plugin blocks the API, they wait until it's back.

  • Say it ships from China

    Your buyer should know the parcel comes from abroad. Put it in the listing and your shipping policy, with the delivery time.

What one order costs

A canvas tote, from your own shop.

One order for one product, worked out with the fees and the shipping rate we charge today.

An example: the product, its price and its weight are made up. The fees, the tax and the shipping rate are the ones we charge today. Shipping is priced on the weight we measure in our warehouse. Your channel's own fees and your selling price aren't in it.

FAQ

Questions sellers ask

What does my site need?
WordPress with WooCommerce, HTTPS, the WooCommerce REST API switched on, and an admin who can install plugins.
Do I need a Shopify store?
No. The plugin connects to us directly.
Will the plugin slow my shop down?
No call to us happens while a shopper browses. The plugin talks to us when an order is paid or a product changes.
Can I edit imported products?
Yes, they are normal WooCommerce products. Sync only changes price and stock, by the rules you set.
How does my customer get tracking?
We add the tracking number to the order as a note to the customer, which WooCommerce emails to them.
Can I connect more than one shop?
Yes. Each site gets its own API key under one NinjaBuy account.
Can I skip the plugin and use the API?
Yes. The plugin is built on the same API you can call yourself.
What does NinjaBuy cost?
The importer, the sync and the apps are free. On each order you pay for the goods, a CN¥12.00 intake fee per item group, shipping and a handling fee per parcel, with a 14% flat tax on those lines.
