Too many Shopify apps
I’m setting up a Shopify store for home office accessories, and I want to source products that can ship from US warehouses. I can handle the storefront and advertising, but I don’t want to spend every evening forwarding orders, checking supplier stock, changing prices, and adding tracking details. The Shopify App Store is packed with supplier catalogs, fulfillment tools, and inventory apps, and I can’t tell which ones cover the work I need. Which apps are actually worth using?
Your requirement for US fulfillment already removes a lot of apps from the list. The supplier location needs to come first because the rest of the automation won’t matter when an item takes weeks to arrive. Spocket is worth considering because it connects Shopify stores with suppliers in the US and Europe, imports products, syncs inventory, and forwards orders. Start with ten products from one supplier and check the real processing and delivery times before expanding the catalog.
The first supplier app may work for the launch and become a poor fit once you add another category or sales channel. Before installing anything, compare where each app gets its products, what happens after an order arrives, and what the total monthly cost will be at your sales volume.

Connect each one to a few test products and keep the one that handles stock changes and tracking more reliably.
