Hello @Rehamnia 
Here are some of the basic tips to follow to build your dropshipping business successfully.

• The reputation of your business will suffer unless you can convince the supplier to change (unlikely). You should probably start looking for another supplier if this is the case.
• In order to limit the number of out-of-stock items you sell, you must properly manage inventory across your suppliers and distributors. You can sync inventory on your Shopify store using apps like DuoPlane and Syncee or a web-based service like Ordoro.
• You'll inevitably have to deal with customer orders you can't fulfill despite your best efforts. Instead of telling the customer the item is out of stock, offer a complimentary upgrade to a similar-but-better item. It is likely that your customer will be delighted, and you will be able to retain their business.

To-Do List for Starting a Profitable Dropshipping Business on Shopify
Step 1: Don’t reinvent the wheel. Sign up for a Free 3-day Shopify trial then $1/month for 3 months (~$29/month after that). When you do, make sure to choose a store name that speaks to the niche you’ll be targeting.
Step 2: Now it’s time to get down to business. Pick a niche – like watches or yoga pants. (Need help finding one that's right for you? Here ya go.)
Step 3: Find products to sell! There are lots of ways this can be done but I recommend using either Oberlo or Spocket if possible; both integrate directly into Shopify which makes life easier when things get busy.
