1.What is Shopify Dropshipping?
Shopify Dropshipping, an international trade term, is a method of supply chain management. Shopify sellers do not need merchandise inventory but give the customer order and shipping details to the supplier, and the supplier sends the goods directly to the end customer. And retailers earn the difference of prices between wholesale and retail. Put it on the Shopify store operation to explain, Dropshipping is an operating mode, when sellers open a store on Shopify will use it, through this mode of operation: Shopify stores do not need to reserve inventory, do not need to own Package delivery is equivalent to a middleman, connecting the supplier and the buyer, and after receiving the buyer’s order, the supplier will deliver the goods to the consumer based on the order information. The advantage of adopting the Dropshipping model is that sellers do not have to deal with inventory, logistics, and other links, allowing you to focus all on marketing and research how to increase sales.
The traditional model usually requires hoarding a large number of products or building a factory for production. Then we all know that there is a division of labor in this world. It is much easier to do the sales part that you are good at than to do everything yourself.
A slightly business-savvy person would not say that before selling a certain product, advance a batch of goods, or build a factory first, then sell it, and then find a way to sell the product. The result is often a desperate situation. . The correct method is that you can test the product first, conduct test sales first, and then optimize your sales strategy. When a customer places an order, we will directly collect the money, and then take the customer’s money, go to the factory to purchase it, and then ship it to the client. The cash flow of this model is not good to say, it is hard for you to go bankrupt! You know, when you take the customer’s money to buy goods, the profit has already been in your hands.
