A dropshipping shop is a margin business, not a lottery. What you get here is what a margin business needs: landing pages that load fast, a cart that recovers itself, discount rules, and the numbers of what actually sold, by product and by channel. No income promises — we do not make them, and you should not believe anyone who does.
Cart, checkout, receipts — and the ways your customers actually pay: card through Stripe or PayPal, bank transfer, and cash on delivery where your market uses it. A cart left behind gets a nudge. Reviews sit under the product.Cart, checkout, receipts. Card via Stripe or PayPal, bank transfer, cash on delivery. A left cart gets a nudge; reviews sit under the product.
On Shopify you pay for these every month. Here they are part of the plan.

“An app” means an add-on from Shopify’s app store, most of them with a monthly price of their own. Their apps are good. The bill is for the seams between them.
You give Kala three things — your business name, what you do, where you are. It writes every page into the theme you picked, then tells you what it did. Change any of it. Or none of it.Three things — your name, what you do, where you are — and Kala writes every page. Change any of it, or none.
Rosa & Co is a four-chair salon on Maple Street, Portland. Cuts, colour and blow-dries, by appointment, six days a week.
Book a chairNo — and you should know that before you pay, not after. What it takes is a spreadsheet, which every supplier on earth can produce and most already send you. You upload it, or paste the rows straight in.
Nothing is imported until you have looked at it. Every row it cannot take comes back with the line number, the cell, and the reason in plain words — and one bad row does not cost you the other nine thousand. An empty price stays empty; it is never read as zero, which is how a product ends up free on a live shop.
You write the rule once — multiply the cost, add a percentage, or add a flat amount — and say how it should round and what it must never go below. You read the before and after first, and the run can be undone.
You are told before anything is written, against the whole file. Not at row four thousand nine hundred, with half a catalogue already live and no way to tell which half.
Your card is charged for the plan you chose and your site keeps running — $12 on day 46 if you started on Starter, and on day 15 on the other plans. The date is printed on your dashboard from day one; cancel any time before it and nothing is charged. You can move up to Growth, Dropship or Business on any day.
So that a site you spent weeks building does not switch off by accident the day your free period ends. It also keeps out the people who were never going to use it, which keeps the themes and the help for the people who are.
Yes, on any plan. Point it here from wherever you bought it; the screen shows you the two records to add, and checks them for you. www comes with it.
Card through Stripe or PayPal, wherever each of them operates — you connect whichever you already have, or both; bank transfer everywhere; cash on delivery where your market uses it. Money goes to your own account, never through ours.
Half of it, today — said plainly. A mailbox add-on (from $2.49, 20 GB, a web inbox next to your site) can send from your own domain once its records are verified. Receiving on your own domain is not switched on yet; until it is, do not print the address anywhere. We will say here the day it works.
Yes. Export everything, any time, no fee. Cancelling stops the next charge; you keep the month you paid for.
Yes. WordPress and Shopify connect directly; any other site is read page by page. About an hour for a typical small site, and nothing is imported until you confirm.
Every plan starts free on a card — 45 days on Starter, 14 on the others. A site on the free plan shows a small Kala Sites badge; a paid one carries none. Your own domain works on any plan.
