CJ Dropshipping + Mrfqy: import, fulfill, and track GCC orders
Connect CJ, map variants, auto PO on payment, and sync tracking — workflow for Egypt and GCC merchants.
CJ Dropshipping is a common first network for Arab merchants sourcing general merchandise and accessories from China with GCC-friendly shipping lanes. Mrfqy connects CJ through the apps directory — product import, remote order placement, and tracking writeback without spreadsheet middleware. This guide walks connection, catalog hygiene, and customer communication.
Connect CJ to your store
Apps directory → CJ Dropshipping → OAuth authorize — store linked to CJ account.
Select default warehouse region if prompted — balance shipping cost vs speed to Riyadh or Cairo.
Map Mrfqy store currency to CJ settlement — margin reports stay consistent.
Reconnect if API token expires — monitor apps panel for warnings.
Import and mark dropship products
Browse CJ catalog inside import UI — filter shipping to Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
Import sets cost price from CJ — you set sell price with target margin.
Mark variant dropship — warehouse qty zero allowed at checkout.
Bilingual titles: edit Arabic marketing copy; keep CJ SKU reference in admin notes.
When a customer pays
Order line flagged dropship — inventory not decremented from warehouse.
Purchase order DS-xxx auto-created — one PO per CJ order batch.
Review PO in dropship hub — confirm address Latin script for customs.
Submit to CJ — pay CJ invoice via saved payment method or manual top-up.
Shipping times and customer expectations
CJ to GCC often 7–15 days — state range on product page, not '2–3 days' local.
Egypt lanes vary — test SKU before scaling ads.
WhatsApp proactive message when PO submitted — reduces anxiety.
Refund policy if exceeds 25 days — align with CJ dispute window.
Tracking sync and notifications
CJ tracking number writes to customer order — status shipped triggers email.
Customer tracks from order status page — bilingual template.
Failed delivery — CJ reship rules; communicate in Arabic support tone.
Chargeback prevention — tracking uploaded within 48h of CJ ship.
Margin control on CJ SKUs
CJ cost changes — review margin report weekly, adjust sell price bulk.
Shipping fee spikes on heavy items — exclude or surcharge.
Currency USD cost vs EGP sell — document exchange assumption monthly.
Discontinue SKUs below 25% margin after ads — ruthless catalog prune.
Install CJ from apps, import five test SKUs, run one real order on your free Mrfqy store. Expand catalog when unit economics work.
