Doba ‑ AI Dropshipping
View in Shopify App Store ↗Reviews (48)
My first time getting a store going. I did the "freebie" things for a few days with several of the other providers and landed with DOBA. They are great. Customer Service is fabulous. Product selection for what I'm selling is top notch. The product images on down are the best. It's easy to get everything set at once so it flows. And in the mean time, if I had/have issues CS is always there. I'm sticking with them for sure.
I prefer Doba than AliExpress and the others cause most of the vendors ship from the USA which customers prefer, quick shipping so you get more orders.
My first experience with DOBA was extremely disappointing. After nearly 12 months of effort, I finally received my first sale, only to discover I could not use my business banking account to pay for the product due to banking/payment setup limitations within the platform. For a service that charges multiple subscription and platform fees, I expected a much smoother onboarding and payment process. This created unnecessary friction at a critical moment for my business and significantly impacted my confidence in the platform.

Seemed straightforward and didn't do any brain damage, so I'm happy
Doba is a great dropshipping platform. It's easy to setup and connect my stores, it provides automation and if 2 or more stores is connected,you can redeem a coupon to use! Adding products is so simple with one click. I would definitely recommend using this app.
I thought we could set up a automatic dropship account
I joined Doba’s paid plan to work with a specific supplier listed on their platform. At the time, the supplier listed on Doba stated that they ship orders using trusted carriers like FedEx. That was a key reason I moved forward with my business. But when orders were placed, they didn’t ship the way they said they would. The situation impacted me both financially and operationally. I contacted Doba support and explained the issue respectfully. They acknowledged the concern and told me they would escalate it to the supplier. They also said they would follow up with me as soon as they received a response. It’s been nearly 2 months. No update from the supplier. I never received any reply from Doba. Even more frustrating, I later checked the supplier page and found that the shipping policy had been quietly changed. It now states: “Shipments will be handled according to the supplier’s chosen method.” No heads-up. No answers. No ownership. If you're thinking about using Doba based on what they promise about their suppliers or shipping, just make sure to double-check everything before you commit. What’s written in the listing might not reflect how the process really works when it matters. Doba told me they'd follow up after contacting the supplier. But nearly two months have passed, and I haven’t received a single reply. Not even a one-line update. That silence alone speaks volumes.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration and disruption this situation has caused you. Your feedback highlights exactly the type of issue we aim to prevent, and we deeply regret falling short in this case. We completely understand how important it is for suppliers to deliver on what’s promised — especially when it comes to shipping methods and timelines. What you described is not the level of service we strive to uphold. Please know that behind the scenes, we are actively working to improve transparency and accountability on our platform. This includes: 1. Stricter vetting of supplier shipping policies to ensure they align with what’s listed on their pages. 2. Enhanced monitoring by our customer support and supplier management teams to track unresolved escalations like yours. 3. Ongoing review of listing content, including clear disclosures when supplier policies change, so merchants aren’t caught off guard. We genuinely appreciate your patience and feedback — it helps us do better. Doba customer service team
Doba makes it so complicated to use a prepay plan, so that I am not getting charged 2 times for using a credit card. I am getting charged through my stripe account when the customer uses their credit card and then a second time through Doba. When I asked for help setting this up, they would not help me.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when it feels like no one is there to help — that’s understandably disappointing. Just to share, Doba’s credit card payments are supported by Stripe, a secure and widely used payment platform. If you ran into any setup issues, we’d love to help you sort them out. If you ever run into setup issues, our online chat support is here to help in real-time, or you can always email us at ccs.support@doba.com — we’ll make sure you get the guidance you need. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us do better. Doba customer service team
The connection to Shopify is fragile and didn't setup my shipping zone properly. Support didn't have a clue and I had to figure it out myself and when I told them the problem, they said it was a Shopify issue, even though other vendors I use work perfectly. Layer on top of this...no automatic payment when customers order, I have to manually process the backend payment. This is just unacceptable....on to look for a replacement!
Developer reply ·
Thank you for sharing your experience with us — we truly understand how frustrating this must have been. We’re really sorry to hear that the connection didn’t work as expected and that you didn’t receive the level of support you needed. We take full responsibility for the inconvenience caused. While some technical issues can stem from platform integration limits, it’s still our job to guide you clearly and confidently. It's clear we fell short, and for that, we sincerely apologize. We also hear your concerns about manual payment processing. This feedback is incredibly helpful, and we're actively working to improve automation and usability. We’d love the opportunity to make this right and rebuild your trust. If you’re open to it, our team is here and ready to provide direct assistance — just let us know. Thank you again for your honest feedback. Doba customer service team
Great so far. No major surprises. Not sure about the value yet.
I run multiple stores and Doba keeps my product flow steady. Their order tracking updates are always on point.
Just getting started with dropshipping, and Doba made things feel way less intimidating. Love how easy it is to find products.
I just opened my store a week ago and honestly had no idea where to start. This platform made things feel doable. The setup process felt like a walkthrough rather than a technical headache.
it is a pain in the ass to purchase something form my website and then have to come here to purchase it from you..... and the app did not work properly and i had to reset a password for no reason. I'm not sure if i am going to keep this account... it is too much trouble and costs too much
A couple of absolutely necessary features: 1. Auto-fulfillment option. Once an order is placed, I would like Shopify to automatically send the order to the Doba App and then autopay via my credit card on file. 2. The ability to have items from my own store in the cart along with Doba-provided items in the order. 3. Fix the issue with canceling orders that are placed via Shopify

Hello DoubleWave, Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the features you’d like to see! Currently, orders can indeed be automatically sent from Shopify to the Doba App. However, auto-payment is not yet available. After evaluating this internally, we found that automatic payments come with certain risks. For now, you can conveniently batch pay for orders in the "Pending Payments" section. As for combining your store’s items with Doba-sourced products, this can be done by linking the products in your Shopify backend to Doba items, enabling you to batch process orders. For items not linked to Doba, they unfortunately can't be sourced directly from Doba, and we appreciate your understanding. We sincerely appreciate your suggestions and will continue working to optimize the Doba experience. Thank you for being a valued user! Best regards, The Doba Team
Superb,, A trial set, as owner wanted to know the full process!
The pricing tools offered by the platform are very flexible. They allow me to adjust my pricing strategy easily, ensuring that I remain competitive without sacrificing profitability
The product variety and quality are top-notch. It’s clear that the platform carefully vets suppliers, which gives me confidence in the products I’m offering to my customers.
Very easy to use app. It syncs well with my store. The fulfillment is speedy and the layout of the dashboard is responsive and navigate.
The app is user friendly, and the processing time is impressive. I have my first two orders in. Just waiting to see how the shipping times from the vendors for the full experience. Overall, I rated the platform a "5 Star" rating because it has allowed me to build my sellers platform with ease, provides excellent brand products with most offering free shipping, which is a plus.
The app is incredibly intuitive and provides a great user experience.
THEIR PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS ARE HORRIBLE! There has been an extreme decline in the quality of customer service offered by Doba. I had a concern about their policies and both the customer service representative Ethan & their supervisor Hannah were extremely disrespectful, defensive and WRONG! Instead of admitting that they were not knowledgable of my request, they advised me incorrectly, and in an extremely unprofessional manner. Having used Doba for over a year at this point, I was shocked at the level of customer service they now have. I will not be using them again.

Very good app, works flawlessly! Highly recommended!
There is no option to put in an FPO address, with no FPO option there is no way for me to use the platform. Called Customer Services and was on the phone for 2 hours to try to fix the issue and was not able to add the address. I kept getting told that they would call me back in 24 hours with an answer. I had to ask for an hour to talk to a manager, then the manager told me that she would talk to the billing department and was going to call me in 24 hours. I told them that I have not been able to use the platform because of this and requested a refund and was told that the manager could not do it and had to ask the billing department to do it and was not sure if it was possible.

Sellers are not serious at all I used to love using Doba but not recently I have been running into all types of issues from shipping orders with Walmart packaging to shipping fewer quantities than what I paid for which made me chase the seller for 2 weeks and ended up with requesting a refund. when it comes to cost most sellers have high prices than the market itself so not really a good fit for dropshipping. will be switching to better platforms soon

Doba is easy to use. You have to read the instruction and or watch the tutorial videos. Its kind of selfexplanatory if you do a little research and if you google how to fix an issue if you get stuck it will come right up. Its expensive but in the first week i did get a big sale. I dont like that there are no telephone numbers to speak to anyone . Doba should allow a certain amount of calls per day starting in the morning until there agreed upon amount of calls are reached, then make chat and email available for the rest of the day then everbody can be happy.

I've been with Doba for at least 2 years. The wholesale prices are mostly too high to make a good margin. Also, most suppliers they have on the platform are not fully vetted, it seems. I have placed many orders, for them to be canceled due to the supplier not having the inventory, even if they say its in stock. When that happens, shopify takes out the fees such as processing and credit card fees, etc. When an order is canceled due to DOBA not having sufficient inventory information, I LOSE money. Lets say a customer bought something and their total is $355. If you can't fulfill the order, then you have to cancel (all due to DOBA) and refund the customer. After all is said and done, I lost $45 just because they canceled an order and I won't see the difference. You will literally have to pay out of pocket for DOBA's mistakes such as this. To me, the annual payments are NOT worth it. SAVE YOUR MONEY. They do not hold their suppliers accountable, they do not care what you have to say, they will not making it better and will just say they will. It's just exhausting. Not to mention, most of the furniture the suppliers supply on the platform, have gotten terrible reviews and are cheaply made. Do not waste your time and hard earned money on this joke of a platform. I really wanted to like DOBA and gave them MANY chances, but losing money one transaction after another is unacceptable. DO BETTER

Hello Dakoda Goods & Co, Thank you so much for taking time to post your review. My name is Whitney and I am the Head of Operations and Business Development here at Doba. While not every product has a large profit margin due to the suppliers listing the items on our site at their own prices, there are many products on Doba that you can make money off of. We have many retailers that make their sole income from selling Doba items on sites like eBay and Amazon. We have a team that does create curated lists of high profit items along with monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales where our suppliers offer 5%-10% off the original pricing. And if you go to our site there is a tab titled High Profit that offers products with 20% margins. Additionally, I am sorry to hear that you have dealt with so many cancellations. I would like to say that we do hold our supplier’s accountable for cancellations, as one of the most important metrics we measure when deciding to keep or remove a supplier is their cancellation percentage. I would like to hear more about these cancellations that have happened to you, as i am one of the decision makers on suppliers being removed, and am over the team that contacts the suppliers with warnings regarding issues our customers face with them. I would like to offer my personal help in figuring this situation out with you, and I will do everything in my power to make this right for you. Customer satisfaction has been and always will be my number one goal. Please feel free to contact me! Just chat, call, or email my customer service team and ask for Whitney. If you leave a name and number or email I will contact you as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you, and hope to help you.
Doba is a good app but needs some changes. I have had trouble importing product. I was able to use Doba free for a little bit but during this time I had a lot of trouble with importing items. Also had to remove thousands of products because some only partially imported.
