User Guide for Magento 2 CJ Dropshipping

Magento 2 CJ Dropshipping Extension provides seamless integration between your Magento 2 store and the CJ Dropshipping platform.

With this module, you can directly import products from CJ, automate the order creation process, and synchronize shipping information in real-time.

Once a customer places an order, the extension automatically creates a corresponding CJ order.

CJ then handles the shipping, and real-time tracking information is synced back to the Magento 2 store using webhooks.

All imported products are instantly available for sale in the store, making this extension an ideal solution for automating and scaling your dropshipping business.

Apart from this, if you want an extension that simplifies the checkout process by reducing the number of steps to only one, then you can check the Magento 2 Checkout Extension.

• You can import simple and configurable products directly from CJ.
• Search CJ products by name, SKU, or category.
• You can map CJ categories with your Magento 2 store categories
• A CJ order is automatically created when a Magento 2 order is placed.
• Imported products work like normal Magento 2 products.
• Magento 2 CJ Dropshipping allows the store owner to set custom price rules before importing.
• You can filter and import products based on country.
• Get real-time shipping updates using webhooks.
• Configure and sync CJ shipping for seamless checkout.

The installation is quite simple, just like the standard Magento 2 extensions.
