Hello I am brand new to shopify and I was looking at a store that i want to buy my product from but I was not sure how dropshipping works or if I could even use them for the stuff I am trying to sell. I currently want to sell things like Standees, Enamel Pins, stickers, Shirts. Things of that nature. I would be buying them from a store that makes customs of those and then I guess where does drop shipping come into play here?
Thanks ahead of time for any answers I will keep scouring the area trying to learn as much as I can.
@Delphonse Thanks for your question
As Shopify is good for dropshipping.

This will provide you a complete understanding of how we can do dropshipping thorugh AliExpress & having the Oberlo App Installed in your shopify Store,checking your orders in Oberlo, and clicking Order Product next to each pending order. From there, Oberlo does the rest. It will buy the product from AliExpress for you and insert your customer’s details.
I hope this will be helpful for you!
Thankyou

I started taking the course on shopify about drop shipping and I noticed they use alliexpress. there are a few items I want to sell that either aren’t on there or aren’t sold as cheap as I could get them elsewhere. Is that a bad sign that they might not be something that sells well I know for kick starters some of the items I want to sell do well there but not sure about stores. I am selling a lot of smaller items along with some medium or large items.
Hi @Delphonse ,
In dropshipping, you basically source products from a supplier and sell them to your customer at a mark-up price. You don’t need to pay for the product upfront. You’ll only need to pay it once an order is generated by your customer. This makes it an attractive business model for new merchants.
