Introduction
First of all, congratulations on taking the first step to improving your financial freedom, and thank you for choosing Zendrop! We're so happy to have you and look forward to seeing and helping your business grow.
We understand that the dropshipping business model can be a bit... complex. Not to worry, we are here for you every step of the way. Not only have we put together this free course, but we also have 24/7 in-app chat support that's available to everyone.
What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is when you (the dropshipper) sell products in your online store (Shopify), but you don't need to spend a bunch of money upfront on inventory. In fact, you don't need to touch the products at all. Instead, when customers buy from your store, you order the products from Zendrop who ships them directly to your customers.
Dropshipping is a low-cost way to start an online business. You make money by marking up the product's price above what you pay Zendrop (profit margin). Remember, good customer service and smart marketing are still critical.
Here's a simplified example:
Create an online store.
Find a product for $50 in Zendrop.
Mark up product cost to $100.
Create ad for product.
Customer makes a purchase.
Fulfill order in Zendrop.
Zendrop ships product to customer.
You make $50 in profit.
What is Zendrop?
Zendrop, at its core, is a dropshipping fulfillment platform connecting you with thousands of different factories in China that manufacture the over one million different product variations we have in our catalog. Find and source products, edit the listings, fulfill your orders, and chat with support - all without ever having to leave the app!
Instead of endlessly browsing through complicated and misleading product listings on AliExpress, trying to find a trustworthy agent with potential language barriers and risky transactions - just find a product in our catalog and we'll do the hard stuff. We also have several US suppliers if you're interested in selling within the US for faster shipping times.
