Hello There,

Welcome to Shopify Community.

Please share your store URL.
So that I will check and let you know the exact solution here.

Have you built your Website?

What type of help do you need?

Hi! If you’ve never done dropshipping before, there’s a really good app on Shopify called Oberlo. With them, you can easily browse various stores and items on Aliexpress and set up your storefront. They also have an overview of verified merchants on Aliexpress so you’d know you are collaborating with a trustworthy partner.

Once you have decided what you want to sell and your store is up and running, you can find some tips on dropshipping tactics for retailers here. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @NGrell ,

I suggest that you focus on a specific niche. This could be just one product or several of them. This will make things easier for you when it comes to marketing. As for your budget, this really depends on how much money you are willing to invest but it shouldn’t be less than 500.00 USD.

After you set up your store and made it live, 70% of your budget should go to marketing. Creating Ads for Facebook, Instagram, Google etc or for hiring people to market them for you. This is important because marketing has a direct impact on your store’s traffic and sales. I hope this helps.
