Dropshipping is a business model where:
You create a Shopify store
You list products on your website
A supplier sends the product directly to your customer
You only pay for products AFTER you make a sale
No inventory. No warehouse. No shipping from your side.
This is why dropshipping is the easiest way for beginners to start an online business.

Beginner-friendly interface
Fast checkout process
Professional store designs
Easy payment integration
Connects directly to DSers, Zendrop & CJ
High trust from customers
