Dropship Control

A profit floor for Shopify dropshippers

Never pay a supplier for an order that loses money.

Dropship Control sits between Shopify and CJdropshipping, prices every paid order at true landed cost, and only places the supplier order when it clears your margin floor and daily budget. Winners go through on their own. Losers wait for your call.

  • Dry-run mode on by default

How an order flows

  1. 01Order paidShopify webhook arrives (HMAC verified)
  2. 02Mapped and costedLine items matched to supplier variants, freight quoted
  3. 03Policy checkAuto-approve, or queue for a human decision
  4. 04Supplier orderPlaced on CJdropshipping, logged, retried if needed
  5. 05Tracking syncedFulfillment created in Shopify, customer notified

What you get

  • Profit check on every order

    Unit cost plus freight is weighed against the sale price before any money moves.

    You know the margin on an order before you pay for it, not at month-end.

  • Approve-before-you-pay queue

    Orders inside your rules go through on their own. Everything else is held for a one-tap approve or reject on your phone.

    Exceptions take minutes; the rest needs no attention.

  • Daily budget cap

    A hard ceiling on supplier spend per day.

    A pricing mistake, an order spike or a bad promo can't drain your card overnight.

  • Safe, hands-off CJ ordering

    Orders are placed once, with retries and a full audit log. Dry-run mode is on by default.

    No double orders, a record of every decision, and zero-risk testing.

  • Tracking and stock sync

    Tracking goes into Shopify fulfillments every 4 hours; supplier stock goes to Shopify inventory every 15 minutes with an out-of-stock threshold.

    Fewer “where's my order?” emails and fewer oversells.

  • Supplier scorecard, pricing rules, 7 AM digest

    A 30-day A–D supplier grade, bulk markup and .99 pricing with a preview, a morning email summary, and an API key for scripts or AI agents.

    Spot a failing supplier early, reprice safely, and start each day knowing where things stand.

Why it beats the usual setup

Most dropshipping tools either pay the supplier for every order or report the loss afterwards. Dropship Control makes the call before money moves.

If you use…What happens todayWith Dropship Control
The supplier's own appAuto-pay can send money to the supplier for every synced order, profitable or not. Each order is checked against your margin floor and daily cap first.
Auto-order suites (e.g. AutoDS, DSers)They automate placing orders, but nothing decides whether an order should be placed. Adds the decision step: auto-place, hold or reject by rule.
Profit dashboards (e.g. TrueProfit, BeProfit)Losses show up in a report after the supplier is already paid. Stops the losing order before the payment happens.
Order-hold appsHold orders by value or tag, without knowing your supplier cost. Holds orders by actual margin, using live landed cost.
Enterprise margin toolsA profit floor, but built for large brands on enterprise stacks. The same idea, sized for a single small store.

FAQ

Does it replace CJdropshipping's app?

No. CJ stays your supplier. Dropship Control decides which orders get placed with CJ and places them through CJ's API on your rules.

What happens to an order that fails the check?

It waits in the approval queue with its cost breakdown. Approve it (say, as a loss-leader) or reject it and handle the refund in Shopify as usual. Nothing is paid to the supplier until you decide.

Is it safe to try on a live store?

Yes. Dry-run mode is on by default, so it costs and queues orders without placing anything. Turn it off only after your products are mapped and you're happy with the decisions it makes.

Which stores and suppliers does it support?

Shopify on the store side and CJdropshipping on the supplier side, today. The policy engine doesn't depend on any one supplier, so others can be added later.

Can my team or an AI assistant work the queue?

Yes. The queue works well on a phone, a 7 AM email digest summarizes the day, and an API key lets scripts or agents approve or reject orders under the same rules and audit log.
