Editing Oberlo Products
Title, Description, and Collections. Oberlo products have default titles and
descriptions but most likely you'll want to change these to something more user
friendly. Points to are include are what makes the product unique, what value the
product has, and the story behind the product. The products can also be assigned to a
collection, or category, these categories must first be created in your Shopify store.
Alternately, you can set up automated collections based on tags and edit tags from
the import list.
Variants and Images. It is also a good idea to edit the variants and pictures. Some
pics may not be suitable for your theme or may be redundant. You also want to check
variants for country of origin as this can affect shipping.
Pricing and Shipping. On the product page you'll see the product wholesale price
plus the shipping. You can edit the price in two ways, manually or by using a
multiplier. It is important to remember that shipping isn't imported by Oberlo so you
have to set up manual shipping rates or list items with free shipping.
Actionable Steps
If you plan on dropshipping, take the time to add some products from the
Oberlo App to your store.
