I’m Mike, a self-taught coder from Puglia (if you know Italy is like a boot, I’m from the heel!). I built Angage.net

Angage currently supports Shopify and BigCommerce powered stores only, but expanding soon! =) Here are some features:

Hunts currently trending products available for dropshipping. It also returns links to source the product directly on Alibaba, Aliexpress, Amazon as well as reviews, social campaigns about the product and how much should you selling the product for. Easily view/export this data.

Returns store currency, social accounts and social campaigns currently running, products for sale by SKUs, vendors, average product value, traffic stats, what marketing plugins are installed on the store in different categories (analytics, cart abandonment, fraud prevention, etc).

Tracks sales for about 600+ selected stores;

Searches on more than 500k products (and counting).

To build this I used free or almost-free resources and my experience. I used bulma.io, a free css framework, for the front-end and PHP + python for the back-end.

I strongly support transparency and openness by sharing our app and revenue metrics with everyone, so if you are interested you can actually see how many users the app has, how much I am making ($) and the rundown of my expenses here: http://angage.net/open

Thanks! Mike

What an awesome tool! Wish I had this when I was setting up my dropshipping site. Sounds like a great idea.

So if I understand correctly — if I want to dropship something, I can use angage to do the grunt work of actually sourcing a particular product?

Yes, exactly!

The tool actually finds new hot products for you taking advantage of an algo that I wrote that recognize products that are going to be trendy in the near future. Each product is complete with links to source the product on Aliexpress, Alibaba, Amazon or Ebay. You can also see Fb posts for that product, as well as get an idea on how much it is selling for on other stores and what the average profit is on the item.

You can also search products by yourself: we already have 500k+ on the app and continuously add more. You can also search sales data for selected stores.

Hope it helps! Mike
