Step by step guide
🔐
STEP 01
Create your free account
Sign up free in under a minute — just your name, email, and store link. No long forms, no approval wait. You are in instantly and can browse the full UAE catalogue right away.
🔗
STEP 02
Connect your store
This one step makes everything automatic. On the Integration page, copy your unique link and paste it once into your Shopify notification settings. That is the whole setup. From then on, every order your store receives flows to us on its own.
Do this once and forget it. No app install, no exporting orders, no emailing Excel sheets ever again. Orders flow in automatically.
📦
STEP 03
Import products with our SKU
Browse trending products hand-picked for the UAE market — health and beauty, home and kitchen, outdoor and travel, toys, baby, and car accessories. Each product shows a SKU with a Copy button. Add the product to your store and paste the exact SKU onto your Shopify product. That SKU is how we match every order. All-inclusive pricing covers product cost, UAE shipping, fulfillment, and COD collection. No hidden fees.
Need a product we don't carry? Email info@coddropshipping.com for a COD price. Use Dropshipping Hunt to research top-selling UAE products before you import.
📣
STEP 04
Run ads and make sales
Drive targeted traffic to your store using paid ads on the platforms UAE shoppers use daily. Dubai audiences respond especially well to TikTok and Instagram for lifestyle and home products. When an order comes in, you do nothing — it is already with us through your connected store.
💰
STEP 05
Get paid every Tuesday
Every delivered order is added to your wallet automatically. We pay out every Tuesday for all orders delivered up to the previous Friday, by UAE bank transfer. Minimum payout is AED 200; anything below rolls over. One of the fastest weekly payout cycles in the UAE.
Return fee: A flat AED 5 per returned order on the Free plan, or AED 3 on Pro. A return only ever subtracts that small fee — nothing more.

Frequently asked questions
How do orders reach COD Dropshipping?
You paste one link from your Integration page into your Shopify settings once. After that, every order your store receives is sent to us automatically. Nothing to submit by hand.
Do I need a Shopify app or OAuth?
No app to install, no login to authorize. You only paste one link into your Shopify notification settings to connect your store.
Why copy the SKU exactly?
The SKU is how we match each incoming order to the correct product and ship it. If the SKU on your Shopify product does not match ours exactly, the order cannot be fulfilled.
What is the return fee?
A flat AED 5 per returned order on Free, or AED 3 on Pro. A return only subtracts that small fee from your balance.
When do I get paid?
Every Tuesday, for all orders delivered up to the previous Friday, by UAE bank transfer. Minimum payout is AED 200; anything below rolls over.
Which countries can I sell to?
The UAE is live now across all 7 Emirates. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman are rolling out soon.
