Shopify product selection and shipping: A good idea guide for new cross-border sellers

In 2025, if you want to create a bestseller with Shopify, having good ideas alone is not enough. You need to connect the three things of “product selection – supply chain – fulfillment” into a high-speed track. The following will clearly explain the popular directions, practical product selection logic, and how to magnify profits with reliable freight forwarders all at once.

I.Five major Tracks Worth betting on in 2025

  1. Smart pet products
    The penetration rate of pet-owning families in Europe and America is high. Toys, automatic feeders and GPS collars that integrate “bite resistance + interaction +App monitoring” have an average transaction value of 30 to 80 US dollars, and the profit from repurchasing accessories is more stable.
  2. Small-space home storage
    Renters, RV enthusiasts and dormitory dwellers are all sharing “$10 renovations” on TikTok. The folding storage box, magnetic knife rack and door hook are small in size, low in shipping cost and easy to be combined into a set.
  3. Light exercise is healthy
    Fascia balls, smart skipping ropes, yoga rings, priced at 15 to 40 US dollars each, are small in size, easy to demonstrate, and naturally good for short video materials.
  4. Environmentally friendly and sustainable
    Recycled PET water cups, cornstarch tableware, and foldable shopping bags, with a “green story” premium of over 30%, are sold at a high price on Instagram.
  5. Interest segmentation
    DIY handmade leather goods kits, niche board game accessories, and Cosplay props are suitable for community expansion due to their small circle but high loyalty.

II. Three-step Product Selection Method: Avoid the “Common streets”


① Social media buzzwords + keyword gap
The topic #petsmarttoy and #vanlifeorganization on TikTok have seen a sharp increase in views. Then, check out long-tail keywords on Etsy and Amazon that have “high search volume and less than 500 competitors”.
② Rapid verification of the supply chain
1688 found three factories to make samples and produced the cost sheet within 48 hours. Test the click-through rate with a small budget using Facebook Ads or TikTok Spark Ads. If the CTR is >2%, then go to Shopify.
③ Combined playing style
Make the “main items + consumables + gift packaging” into a set to increase the average transaction value and reduce the proportion of shipping fees. For instance, a single order of smart pet toys, replacement biting ropes and gift boxes can double the profit.

III. Freight forwarders are amplifiers of profits


Many sellers die at the last mile:
I pack 50 orders per day by myself, with 15% of the profit coming from labor and packaging materials.
During peak season, if air freight is overloaded and delayed by 10 days, the store’s rating will drop
The shipping cost for returning the goods to China is even higher than that for the products.
Professional freight forwarders can solve it all at once
Drop shipping: 1688 direct delivery to warehouse, system synchronization of Shopify orders, online information available on the same day.

  1. Multi-channel price comparison: For light and small items, use the postal dedicated line; for large items, use sea freight, saving 20-40% on freight charges immediately.
  2. Quality inspection + packaging change: Defective products are directly returned for supply, while good products are replaced with customized packaging, reducing the negative review rate to below 1%.
  3. For returns or exchanges, contact our warehouse and our customer service will follow up to solve the problem
