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.

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:

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.

Zendrop uses a Usage-Based Billing (UBB) model, meaning your monthly fee is based on the number of products you have linked to your store — not a flat plan price. All features are included at every paid tier.

Your charge is based on the peak number of products linked during a billing cycle. For example, if you linked 25 products at any point during the month, you’ll be charged $49 for that cycle, even if you later reduced your linked products.

New to Zendrop? You’ll start with a 3-day risk-free trial. If you have zero linked products before the trial ends, you won’t be charged.

The good news is, you've already started - you're here! If you're brand new to dropshipping, we highly encourage you to continue the course by moving to the next module.
