What is dropshipping and how does it work?

Dropshipping is a retail sales method in which you don't need to have physical stock of the products. Partnering with a wholesale supplier allows them to transfer orders directly to your customers. The biggest benefit is that you won't have to worry about shipping, delivery, or inventory.

In addition, this technique includes shipping with your branded label, allowing the wholesaler to send items directly to your customers with a personalized invoice.

The benefits are several. First, you don't need a large amount of money, and the stock and inventory you can offer will depend on what your website can store in GB.

Another advantage is that you won't have to worry about shipping or delivery, since they go directly to your customer. You can use the time allocated to deliveries to focus on marketing, customer service, etc.

If at this point, you're wondering if it's the latter? Yes, it is. Many Shopify stores use this system.

Before contacting suppliers, you'll need to have your legal affairs in order. In the United States, most suppliers will ask for your EIN (Employer ID Number) and a copy of your state sales tax and/or resale certificate. Once you're well established, you can begin contacting suppliers who offer dropshipping.

Not all distributors will be willing to offer dropshipping, but you'll find a list to confirm. The market is full of misleading and poor-quality information. World Wide Brands is a reliable source of wholesale dropshipping suppliers. But it's still important to be very careful.

Also, keep in mind that most suppliers have outdated websites graphically. So don't be alarmed by websites with 90s-style designs. Remember to use different search engine-friendly terms.
