Shopify Dropshipping Store — US Market
A full-featured Shopify dropshipping store built for the US tile and natural stone market. Includes custom theme development, bulk product imports, SEO optimization, and a custom 'Buy Sample' feature built with Liquid and JavaScript.
The problem
gobekusa.com needed a production-ready Shopify dropshipping store targeting US buyers of tile and natural stone. The main challenges were importing a large catalog of supplier products in the correct Shopify format, building a sample ordering flow that didn't exist in any off-the-shelf app, and ensuring the store ranked for competitive tile and stone search terms in the US market.
What we built
- 01Custom Shopify theme built and configured from scratch for tile and stone product categories
- 02Bulk product import pipeline using Matrixify — Excel-based with correct variant columns, metafields, and image rows
- 03Custom 'Buy Sample' feature built in Liquid and JavaScript using Shopify's Cart and Suggest APIs, with collection-level filtering to hide sample SKUs from browse pages
- 04Collective app integrated for supplier product syncing and inventory automation
- 05Judge.me reviews configured and seeded for social proof
- 06Cloudflare set up for DNS management, caching, and performance
- 07On-page SEO: meta titles, descriptions, collection page copy, and alt text across the catalog
Outcome
- —Live dropshipping store with a clean, conversion-focused storefront
- —Hundreds of products imported with correct variant structure and no duplicate handle errors
- —Sample ordering flow that works seamlessly without disrupting the main purchase path
- —Improved organic visibility for US tile and natural stone search terms
