What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party—typically a wholesaler or manufacturer—and has it shipped directly to the customer.
In simple terms:
- You don’t need inventory.
- You don’t handle shipping.
- You focus only on marketing and customer acquisition.
It’s a low-risk, high-reward business model for beginners who want to start an online store without upfront inventory costs.

Here’s a quick roadmap for launching your dropshipping business:
- Choose Your Niche
- Focus on passionate communities (pets, fitness, tech gadgets).
- Look for evergreen or trending products.
- Set Up Your Shopify Store
- You can build your own from scratch or buy a prebuilt dropshipping store.
