Set it up in your control panel
Inside the store you already have.
- Open Suppliers and press Connect a supplier.
- Choose CJdropshipping, paste your API key and save. Posty5 checks it with CJ and stores it encrypted.
- On the Automation card, choose how orders are sent. Every connection starts on manual.
- Import products on the Import from a supplier page, review them, and publish them.
Payment, testing and limits
What to expect before your first order.
How payment worksWith automatic payment, Posty5 confirms the order at CJ and pays it from your balance. It checks the order first, so an order already paid is never paid again. If your balance is too low, the order waits for you.
Test in CJ’s sandboxA test connection sends orders to CJ’s sandbox, where they are never charged or shipped. Switch to live for real orders.
LimitsCJ limits how fast and how much an account may search each day, so a large import can slow down. CJ prices are in US dollars and are converted to your store’s currency.
This connection is new. Place a test order and one small real order before you rely on it.
