In addition, we extensively test and debug our tools and our web app on Chrome browser and hence optimal performance is guaranteed only on Chrome. While other browsers, such as Firefox or Safari may work, the performance is not guaranteed. Please keep that in mind while using our platform.

You will also need to download and install the Anstrex Dropship Extension for Chrome browser from Google Web Store. Please note that adding orders to your store, order management, inventory control and order fulfillment are supported with the help of chrome extension.

Before you start adding products to your store, it is very important that you set up pricing rules for each store. The pricing rules will determine how much profit will be added to the cost price of the item before it is added to your store. To get started follow these steps:

   1. Simple Pricing Rules: These rules applies to all the items that you import into the store using Anstrex platform irrespective of the original cost price of the item. In the absence of Advanced Pricing Rules, as described below, these rules will apply.
   2. Advanced Pricing Rules: These rules apply selectively depending on the original cost price of the item. This is helpful if you want your profit margins to vary depending on cost price of the item.
