A dropshipping store on one CBO campaign: a $767k month
Commentary byROASArchiveOur analysis, not theirs@EcomRedneck reports a $767k month (June 2025) for their own dropshipping store, selling an AliExpress product with Meta ads run from one CBO (campaign budget optimization) campaign.
The $767k is total Shopify store sales, and it is a single-account result with no control, so it shows what is possible, not what is typical.
- Total store sales: $767k in June 2025. A large number, but it is store revenue, not profit, and not only from ads.
- Structure: one CBO campaign. How many ad sets and ads sat inside it is not shared.
- Spend, ROAS and CPA: not shared, so we can't tell whether the month was profitable.
The change
Before
The setup before this campaign is not shared.
After
The store's Meta spend ran through one CBO campaign, where Meta splits a single budget across the ad sets inside it. Total store sales for the month were $767k, per the Shopify dashboard in the post; that figure covers all store sales, not only ad-attributed ones.
Our reading: why it likely worked
Our interpretation, not the advertiser's claim.
- One campaign with one budget gives Meta more conversion data in one place, which can help it find buyers faster than many small campaigns.
- CBO moves budget to the ad sets that are converting, so winners get spend without manual shifting.
- The structure is unlikely to be the whole story. A strong product and creative usually matter more at this scale.
Caveats: Self-reported result from the poster's own dropshipping store, with no control. The $767k is total Shopify sales for June 2025, not ad-attributed revenue. Spend, margin, ROAS and attribution window are not shared, and the post's claim about how much money the poster kept isn't backed by any figures shown. Income results like this vary a lot and are not typical.
How to run this in your account
- Hypothesis
- If we move our proven ad sets into one CBO campaign, then revenue will grow at the same or better ROAS because Meta can shift one budget to the ad sets that convert.
- Primary metric
- ROAS
- Guardrails
- CPA
- Spend share per ad set
- Contribution margin
- Who should try it
- Ecommerce stores with a proven product and several working ad sets. It may not help if one ad set soaks up all the budget or the account has too few conversions.
Questions
Can one CBO campaign scale a dropshipping store?
@EcomRedneck reports a $767k month from one CBO campaign.
Spend and profit weren't shared, so treat it as a possible setup, not a promise.
Is CBO better than ABO for dropshipping?
This result doesn't compare the two. CBO lets Meta move budget to winners; ABO gives you control per ad set. Test both on your own account.
