Comparing platforms?
Compare before you switch.
See how Lovegodrop differs from subscription platforms and catalog marketplaces — then bring the orders you already sold. No subscription, no re-listing, live 1688 sourcing prices.
After signup: connect your store → sync eligible sold orders → request sourcing quotes. Fulfillment requires your approval.
Illustrative flow. Product availability and shipping routes require review.
Three models, side by side
What you actually pay and what you actually get.
“Subscription platforms” describes models like Zendrop, Spocket and AutoDS; “catalog marketplaces” describes models like CJ Dropshipping. Pricing shown is publicly listed by those providers and may change — verify before deciding.
One workflow, both platforms, six sources

Three situations where we get chosen
If any of these sounds like your store right now, the comparison above matters less than the fix below.
Your supplier went out of stock
The item is still selling in your store. Sync the eligible sold order, submit the product, and get a fresh sourcing quote from the Chinese marketplaces — without re-listing anything.
See existing-order sourcing →Your margins got squeezed
Post-de-minimis shipping changed unit economics. Live 1688 source prices, free 90-day storage and real-weight billing give you room to rebuild the margin — and see every quote before approving.
Search with live prices →You want out of monthly fees
No subscription, no MOQ, no automatic charges. You pay when you order. If the quote does not work for you, you decline it — that is the whole model.
Create a free account →From sold order to shipped package
The same four steps whether you arrive from a competitor platform or start fresh.
Connect and sync
Connect an eligible Shopify or WooCommerce store and sync sold orders into Lovegodrop.
Submit the product
Use the order item, a link, an image or a Yupoo reference for source matching.
Review the quote
See the available product price and applicable shipping components before deciding.
Approve fulfillment
Confirm the eligible order and payment before purchasing and dispatch proceed.
Before you switch
Can I really start from orders I already sold?
Yes. Connect an eligible Shopify or WooCommerce store, sync the sold order and submit the matching product for sourcing review. You do not have to import or re-list anything first.
Do I have to rebuild my product catalog?
No. Existing-order sourcing is designed for sellers who keep their listings and only want a new source and fulfillment path for items already sold.
How is Lovegodrop different from subscription platforms?
No monthly fee and no automatic charges — you pay per order. Instead of a closed catalog, you source from six Chinese marketplaces with live prices, and every quote is approved by you before fulfillment.
Will I see costs before committing?
Yes. The available product quote and applicable shipping estimate are shown for your review before you approve anything. Final availability and route require confirmation.
Can I send a Yupoo link or image as a reference?
Yes. Provide the reference and available product details for manual review. Yupoo references are not a direct live-search or guaranteed-match feature.
Can every product and destination be fulfilled?
No. Supplier availability, intellectual-property rights, customs requirements and shipping restrictions are reviewed before acceptance.
