What you get with Automatic Order Fulfillment
All the tools you need, built into your dropshipping dashboard.
One-click bulk fulfillment
Process all pending orders at once from your Build the Drop dashboard. No need to log into AliExpress, find each order, fill in addresses or copy tracking numbers manually.
Automatic tracking sync
Once AliExpress assigns a tracking number, Build the Drop pulls it automatically and updates the Shopify order — triggering the customer shipping notification email.
Order status monitoring
See the status of every order across all your suppliers in one centralized panel: placed, shipped, in transit, delivered. No need to check AliExpress separately.
Address mapping & error handling
Shopify customer addresses are mapped to AliExpress format automatically. If there's an address issue, Build the Drop flags the order for review before placing it.
How it works
Customer places order in Shopify
Your Shopify store handles checkout, payment and order creation as normal. Build the Drop monitors new orders in real time.
Build the Drop places the supplier order
With one click (or automatically), Build the Drop places the corresponding AliExpress order using the customer's address. No copy-paste, no AliExpress login needed.
Tracking syncs back to Shopify
When the supplier ships, the tracking number arrives in Build the Drop and is pushed to the Shopify order — automatically notifying the customer.
