How can we help?

Welcome to DropAI! This guide walks you through everything you need in your first 10 minutes — from creating your account to finding your first winning product.

Step 1: Create Your Free Account

1. Go to dropshipingai.com/login
2. Click "Sign up" and enter your email and password
3. Verify your email by clicking the confirmation link

Step 2: Take the Welcome Tour

When you first log in, a 4-step Welcome Tour explains the most important tools. Take 60 seconds — it'll save hours later. Access anytime via 🎓 Take Tour in your sidebar.

Step 3: Make Your First Product Search

1. From your dashboard, find "Winning Product Research"
2. Type any niche (e.g., "fitness gadgets")
3. Click Search
4. Wait 5-10 seconds while AI analyzes the market

Step 4: Understand Your Results

Each product card shows:

• Trend Score (0-100): How much demand exists right now
• Estimated Profit Margin: AI-calculated potential profit (clearly labeled "AI Estimated")
• Sourcing Links: Direct links to AliExpress and Amazon
• Verified Data Tags: What's confirmed from Google Trends vs. AI estimation

Finding a winning product isn't luck — it's a process. Here's the framework successful dropshippers use.

The 4-Filter Framework

A winning product passes all four filters:

Filter 1: Solves a Real Problem

• ✅ Posture corrector → solves back pain
• ✅ Smart water bottle → reminds people to hydrate
• ❌ Random gadget that "looks neat"

Filter 2: Has Wow Factor

It must stop the scroll on social media. If a 3-second video shows how it works and why it's amazing, you have wow factor.

Filter 3: Healthy Profit Margin

Aim for at least 3x markup after fees:

• Product cost: $5
• Selling price: $15-25
• After ad spend (30%) and PayPal fees (3.5%): ~$8-13 profit per sale

Filter 4: Trending Up

Use Google Trends data (built into DropAI) to confirm interest is rising, not declining.

Using DropAI to Find Products

1. Go to "Winning Product Research" in dashboard
2. Type a broad niche (e.g., "kitchen gadgets")
3. Review AI-ranked opportunities
4. Filter by category
5. Click sourcing links to verify supplier prices

• Trajectory (30%): Rising, flat, or declining?

• Profit potential (10%): AI estimate based on supplier costs

Score Ranges Explained

• 90-100: 🔥 Hot — Test immediately with $50+ budget
• 75-89: ⚡ Strong — Good candidate, test $20-50
• 60-74: 📈 Moderate — Promising, watch competitors

Knowing your numbers is non-negotiable. Here's what each metric means.

CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)

How much you spend to get one customer.

Formula: Total Ad Spend ÷ Number of Customers

Example: $500 spent, 10 customers → CPA = $50

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

How much revenue per dollar of ad spend.

Formula: Revenue ÷ Ad Spend

Example: $1,500 from $500 → ROAS = 3.0

Healthy ROAS: 2.5+ for good margins, 4.0+ for low margins

BEROAS (Break-Even ROAS)

The minimum ROAS to not lose money.

Formula: 1 ÷ Profit Margin

Example: 30% margin → BEROAS = 3.33

Profit Margin

Formula: (Revenue - Costs) ÷ Revenue × 100

Healthy dropshipping margins: 15-30% net after ads, fees, and product costs
