Product Import & Catalog Sync Assistant
The Opportunity
An app that helps merchants add new products from suppliers like Spocket directly into their Shopify store without confusion. It would guide users through supplier account connection, product selection, and publishing steps with a simple checklist and automatic sync.
"Merchants using integrated dropshipping tools often do not understand how to add new products or whether they need a separate supplier account, which blocks store setup and inventory expansion."
