Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the merchant (you) never sees or handles the product. Profit margins with dropshipping are much higher than print on demand sites. Shopify is one of the most popular e-commerce website platforms to use to run your online store. Shopify is recommended if you don't have the technical knowledge to manage the backend website and server. Many people use Shopify+Oberlo to handle their dropshipping. For those who are more tech savvy, you can use WordPress Woocommerce+Alidropship.
