Should I use product photos from Aliexpress for dropshipping, or take my own photos?
Asked 6 years ago
I think that the photos on Aliexpress look like stock photos, really nonpersonal. But it would be a lot of work taking my own photos and also will make the whole process quite long. Is it important?

If you want to succeed in dropshipping, it's super important that you take your own photos. Before adding a new dropshipping product to your Shopify store, you should always order the products, test it, learn about it, and take your own pictures. The product pictures must be professional, don't compromise! If you don't know how to take professional photos, you should use a photographer. If you use stock images, your store will always have a generic feel to it, and your conversion rate and sales will be affected.
