Hi @AlwaysFabulous1 

 

Welcome to the Shopify Community!

 

Dropshipping is not a something that needs to be enabled or disabled per-se. Dropshipping is the process of selling a product provided by a third party vendor. The merchant (you) doesn't have any inventory but instead, when a customer places an order you send a request to the vendor with the order details and they will ship and fulfill the order on your behalf. 

 

Are you selling products that you have in your own personal inventory or are you using a vendor to fulfill your orders for you?

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I have my own merchandise and I will not be doing the dropshipping. 

Do you know how to use the POS mobile app, I need help with this? If you don't mind me asking 

 

Thank you 

Christine

Hi @AlwaysFabulous1 

 

Thank you for letting me know that your inventory is personal items. 

 

In order to sell a product on Shopify you will want to create a product listing and add your inventory so that you can properly track how much you have sold. 

 

It sounds like you are still quite new to Shopify so I want to share some important resources you can refer to as you start this process:
