Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method wherein a store doesn't actually stock the products it sells.
Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item directly from a third party, like Shein.com. This third party then ships this item directly to the customer who purchased it.
Not holding inventory means not spending money on products that might not sell. Only buy from a third party what you’ve already sold for profit!
Dropshipping is an online retail business where you accept customer orders but don’t keep products in stock, you purchase them from third-party suppliers and ship them directly to your customers.
Since you run your dropshipping store online you don’t have to find a warehouse to store your products, maintain inventory, or worry about shipping orders directly.
With just a computer and an internet connection, you can run your business from anywhere in the world.
Dropshipping working process is quite simple and includes three main steps:
1. You got an online store where you publish products you wish to sell, but you don’t have any of these products in your store.
2. When the customer places an order on your dropshipping store, then you forward that same order directly to your dropship supplier.
3. Then your supplier prepares the package and ships the order directly to your customer.
So in this business model, your customers receive their orders straight from your dropshipping supplier, and you never touch products in between.
it’s a perfectly legal fulfillment model and many retailers have built successful brands that drive customer satisfaction around the world.
In order to make a profit with your dropshipping business, you need to markup the supplier product price.
Firstly, it is important to mention what is "Mark-up Price". Mark-up is the difference between a product's selling price and cost as a percentage of the cost. For example, if a product sells for 125$ and costs 100$, the additional price increase is (125$-100$) / 100$) x 100 = 25%
There are two different types of markup calculation and you can use any of them:
The first one is Price Mark-up by Amount is calculated by adding the amount you wish to the Retails price. For example, if a product costs $100, the selling price with a $20 markup by amount would be $120.
The second one is Percentage Price Mark-up is commonly calculated as the difference between the wholesale price and retail price. For example, if a product costs $100, the selling price with a 25% markup would be $125.
First of all, you should open the Plan page, then in the cage fill your Promo code and Subscribe.
When you use Chrome Extension the prices are imported in the same way as you see in the store, based on in which location you are and what currency you have chosen. Monitoring works with USA IP address and the system reads it with the USD currency. If you are planning to use monitoring, then you should take into consideration the USD currency and set your price mark-ups according to it, because the system updates the prices in your Shopify according to USD.
