what's up guys is Jake with casual
e-commerce and in this video we're going
to be going over how you can find
products to sell on your Shopify store
using thus pocket app so the cool thing
about this app is that 90% of the
suppliers on the app are either based in
the US or they're based in Europe
meaning that the shipping times are
going to be a lot faster than with
typical dropship suppliers that take
anywhere from two weeks to six weeks to
actually deliver the product from their
warehouse to your customers so this is
going to speed up the shipping times a
lot which is one of the biggest issues
that a lot of drop shippers face and a
lot of drop shippers are always trying
to figure out how they can speed up
shipping times so this is one way
finding a us-based supplier if you're in
the US or a European base supplier if
you're in Europe and another thing about
all these suppliers Anspach --it is that
they've all been vetted and spock it
goes out and personally cultivates
relationships with them to make sure
that they're trustworthy and verified
something you don't have to worry about
orders getting cancelled or orders not
being fulfilled on time or you know the
wrong products being sent out etc etc so
that said we're gonna go ahead and jump
inside the app and i'm gonna go ahead
and show you how you can use spa kit to
find products to sell in your store and
i'm also going to show you how you can
use spa kit to go ahead and manage
borders and fulfill orders all inside
your store so let's go ahead and jump
right in so once you install the app to
your store this is what its gonna look
like so I went ahead and started a free
trial so the first thing we're gonna do
is we're gonna need to search for
products on the app and searching for
products is pretty easy there's a lot of
different filters that we can use so we
can filter by category so you can see
there's a lot of categories here ranging
from accessories all the way down to
toys and clothing and we can also filter
by price so we can put in a minimum
price for a maximum price or we can
filter by location so if we only want
products that are [ __ ]
from the United States Canada UK we can
filter by all of these different areas
or we can select a specific supplier and
then over here we can just choose how we
want to sort our search results so what
I would recommend doing before you go
ahead and start your product searches
that already have a niche in mind that
you want to create the store around that
you want to go ahead and sell to because
this is gonna make the product search a
lot easier if you already know a niche
that you're looking for so a couple tips
for finding a niche if you don't have
one in mind already you can just go
ahead and browse here through the
categories to kind of brainstorm and try
and figure out something there or I
would recommend choosing one of two
things so one you could pick a niche
that you're interested in or two you
could pick a niche that is trending or
you could pick one that's kind of the
best of both of those if you have a
niche that you liked it's also trending
that that's going to be even better and
you can verify whether a niche is
trending or not by typing it in to
Google Trends and just taking a look at
the graph to see whether it's been
trending up or trending down recently
and then once you have a niche you can
just go ahead and throw some of the
niche related keywords in here and you
can start looking for stuff so first off
I'll show you what it looks like when
you just look for a category so I'll
come down here and just go ahead and
pick one right here so I'll just pick
pet toys and you can see we have
different pet toys here that we can go
ahead and add to the import list which
I'll show you how that works in a couple
of minutes and if we wanted to go ahead
and sort this by different things like
location of the supplier we can so let's
say we're based in the US we would
probably want to go ahead and switch
this to the United States that way we
have faster shipping time so now all of
these products showing up here are going
to ship from the United States you can
see down here we have the shipping time
estimated for seven days
eight the 14:47 four to seven so we can
go ahead and possibly justify which
products we pick depending on what has
the fastest shipping time or the lowest
shipping price regardless of what we're
looking for so that's one way you can go
ahead and look through here is just by
looking through the categories right
there or you can also just go ahead and
search directly with keywords so like I
said if you went ahead and pick a niche
that you were interested in I'll go
ahead and for the sake of the example in
this video I'll pick a niche that I'm
interested in which is fitness so let's
say I wanted to sell like a gym bag or
something like a drawstring bag I could
go ahead and type that in and see if
they have it so we can see here we are
looking for a drawstring bag that ships
from the US so we can see that there is
a little bit of options here so I could
go ahead and look for one whose price I
like along with design
so right here I'm gonna pick this one
because it's kind of funny and we can go
ahead and open it up and you can see
that once we go ahead and open up a
product we're gonna see the product
description and we're going to get a
little bit more details about the
shipping time whether it's to the United
States or to the rest of the world and
then we'll see their processing time as
well now this one has a higher shipping
time so I probably wouldn't use that so
I'd probably go back and try and find
one with a shorter shipping time so this
is another bag right here that has a
shorter shipping time and so does this
one and the price is a bit cheaper so
I'd go ahead and open this one up and we
can see that this one's more of a
fashion based bag so this probably
wouldn't really fit a fitness Thor so if
I kept scrolling down and looking for
something else here we could go ahead
and just pick a simple one like this
that has low shipping time and a low
price so let's say I go ahead and open
it up and for the sake of the example
what we're gonna do is I'm gonna add it
to the import list and I'm gonna show
you how this works so if we want to once
you find a product that you like and you
want to add it to your store we just go
ahead and click the green button here to
add it to our import list and then we
can go ahead and get rid of this right
here and then we can scroll back up and
let's say we wanted to go ahead and add
one more product to the store within our
niche so if you so if you already know
some different types of products that
are in your niche that you want to sell
you can go ahead and search for them
directly like we just did or perhaps you
could just search something broad like
fitness or whatever your niche is to get
different ideas of products within the
niche so in this case I'm just going to
search another specific product here and
I'm gonna search water bottle so a lot
of people will take water bottles to the
gym especially these insulated ones so I
could go ahead and look at these right
here open one up and then I could go
ahead and add this to the import list as
well and you can see that now already
I've got two products that are in my
niche that I'm going to be adding to the
store that have really fast processing
in shipping time so they would arrive
within the week which is going to give
you a huge edge other people that are
drop shipping from Chinese suppliers so
now I'm gonna go ahead and show you the
next step which is going to be to
actually edit these products before we
push them over to the store so in order
to do that you come down here it's an
import list and then you can see we have
the two products here that we went ahead
and added from the search section are
now going to show up down here in the
important section so what we can go
ahead and do here now is we can edit the
product the details before it's sent
over to our store so you don't have to
if you don't want but you probably
should clean up the details here to make
it look a little bit better so I could
change the title of this to something
like
just a title that looks a little bit
cleaner and this one already looks like
a relatively clean title so you can just
kind of keep it as is and then you could
go over to the description next so this
one already has a decent description now
you probably should add in a couple
other things especially like brand
specific things with your store maybe a
return policy or something like that at
the bottom I'm not going to get into all
the specifics of creating a description
in this video however I've already made
a video on this in the past so if you're
interested in how to create the optimal
description for each one of your
products I'll go ahead and link that in
the description below for you to go
ahead and check out but regardless this
is where you would go to edit the
description so you could go in and go
ahead and just add in or delete stuff
here and then over here the next option
is variance so both of these products
have well this product has one variant
and then this product has two variants
you can see the difference here is just
in the size of the bag and then right
here this is one color and one size of
water bottle so also inside the variance
section what we can do is set up the
price so we can see here that the price
right here is 1679 for us to go ahead
and source this and then it's $10 to
ship it so we'd have to mark this up a
little bit more to receive a profit is
right now we can see our profit is
negative $4 and this isn't including if
we charge shipping on our store so if we
do say charge $10 shipping on our store
then we could add this to 32 and then
we'd see that we've been making $5 60
cents profit let's say we want to sell
this for $34.99 and let's say we want to
go ahead and sell the bags
or let's say $14.99 $17.99 and $14.99
and this is the price that the product
would go ahead and be published with
when we push it over to our store and
then we have the compare at price here
so what this does is is this is how you
would create a sale if you want to make
it look like the product is on sale in
your store so if we wanted to do that we
could just do $44.99 and this would go
ahead and create a $10 off sale right
there and the last thing we would need
to edit is the images so right here you
can go ahead you'll see all of the
images that are provided by the supplier
and you can either choose to use all of
them or you can choose to use specific
ones this is up to you depending on
which images you like and which ones you
don't like
and then after you've gone through and
edited all this information you can just
go ahead and click Save and then push
the store and then this is going to go
ahead and add the product to your store
right there so we can go ahead and save
this one and push this one over as well
and then in a couple seconds you'll see
that these products will go ahead and
appear in the store so what I'm going to
do is I'm going to come over to the
store and I'm gonna click on products
and we're gonna wait for it to load and
you can see your the drawstring bag and
the insulated bottle both products have
been added to the store and if I go
ahead and open one up we can see that
there is the sale we just created and
you can see all the pictures imported
right here and the description and you
can see just in a couple clicks we went
ahead and have a couple of products in
our store already so now at this point
I'm going to show you how order
fulfillment works so if somebody places
an order for one of these products the
fulfillment process is actually really
simple what I'm gonna go ahead and show
you how to do that so that's where this
section down here is going to come into
play so once you start getting orders
you just need to click on my orders
right here and I went ahead and placed a
test order on this store this is the
test development store and I went ahead
and placed an order for one product that
I added earlier which is this lifting
belt and you can see that all you need
to do to go ahead and place this order
to fulfill this order is to click
checkout and you can go ahead and add a
note to the supplier right here if you
want where you can just leave it blank
and then you would just go ahead and
click place order I'm obviously not
going to place the order right now
because it was not a real order however
that's how simple it is so if you're
getting to the point where you have a
lot of orders and you need bulk checkout
that is an option so let's say you're
getting you know 20 30 40 50 orders a
day and you no longer want to manually
fulfill these you have the option to do
ball checkout however that is on one of
the higher plans so guys that's pretty
much it that's how simple it is to go
ahead and find products to sell on
Shopify using these pocket app and like
I said the advantages of using this app
are being able to source from us
suppliers really easily it's a lot
easier to find us suppliers on here
versus directly on Aliexpress where the
majority of suppliers are from China
the majority of suppliers on here are
from the US and they're all curated
right in here and it's very easy to go
ahead and search for those different
products some of that said if you want
to check out spa kit you can go ahead
