Finding winning products is one of the biggest challenges in Shopify dropshipping. Many store owners waste time and money on products with weak demand, unreliable suppliers, or thin profit margins, leading to poor Ad performance and slow growth.

This is a self-initiated practice project demonstrating my end-to-end product research and validation process, the same research and product used in my Product Listings and SEO case study. This is not client work; it's a demo built to show how I identify, validate, and price a product before listing it on Shopify.

Calculated COGS (AliExpress price + shipping fee, if applicable), then set a target price at 3x COGS while ensuring the final price stayed below the competitor's price.
