Is this more for established retailers or mom/pop shops who are wanting to get into shopify? Is this similar to Oberlo except not 100% reliant on aliexpress and more cross-platform support?

Have you thought about creating retailer plans for hobbyists/new entrepreneurs who want to just test a few ads/products on fb, then signup for bigger plans later on, or maybe a freemium/pay-per-sale model?

I ask as a developer, who's thought about doing dropship quite a bit (whenever I get dev burnout), original plan was buy shopify account, onboard products from oberlo, and get some product vids up on fb ads for the cooler products.

The Shopify/Oberlo buyers only sometimes end up being durable. For the ones that are, they come to expect better in terms of ship times, terms and other business things that aren't well handled by Aliexpress dropship. So generally speaking, buyers would graduate to us after they get to six figures. For sellers it's free so they can be big or small.
