Hi, @Kevingrant79!

Welcome to Shopify Community.

Thank you for sharing your question with our network. I invite you to connect with our members as you dive deeper into your entrepreneurial journey and use this forum for support to lean on as you continue to learn more about Shopify.

Finding a supplier to work with is a very personal decision you will make for your business so I highly recommend taking your time to ensure all your product needs and standards are met before you commit to one or the other. We have this amazing documentation I encourage you to check out on choosing a supplier, including where to find them and how to vet them whether they are on Shopify or not. 

Furthermore, if you're looking for dropshipping suppliers then check out our article on The 13 Best Dropshipping Suppliers of 2023. This guide covers everything you need to know about dropshipping on Shopify, but also offers recommendations and solutions for suppliers that have built-in Shopify integrations. 

I trust that provides a good foundation for you to continue your research, though I would love to hear more about the types of products you are looking to offer and the industry you will be selling in.

Warm regards,

If you just start without any experience buying stock is risky, just try to dropship from Aliexpress for a while, once you have best seller products with daily 10 to 20 orders, you can find a 3PL for fulfillment then buy stock inventory from seller to 3PL warehouse.
