What is dropshipping

In a nutshell, dropshipping works as follows:The customer places an order for a product in your online store.
You forward the order and customer details to the dropship supplier (either manually or automatically).
The dropship supplier packages and ships the order to the customer in your name.

The following types of dropshipping are popular:

Acting as a reseller of products. For example, you can resell learning toys of a supplier (e.g., offered via Wholesale2B, Spocket, Alibaba, or Syncee) if you are an expert in child education, and thus you can market them wisely. The orders will be fulfilled by the dropship supplier.

Using a dropshipping print-on-demand service. For example, you are from a music band that wants to sell merchandise to fans, or you are an artist that wants to sell their artworks in the form of canvas prints or framed posters. A print-on-demand service like Printful can produce and store these products, print your designs on them once they are notified of an order, then pack and send the ordered print products to buyers in your name.

To make your store ready for accepting orders, you can follow Ecwid’s initial setup guide however take into account the following things:

Use your own product descriptions. Instead of the default texts provided by the supplier, write your own. Unique content is highly rated by search engines, so it will help you to get your store indexed and it will be easier for customers to find you.

Set the supplier’s address as the origin address. If you are going to use real-time shipping quotes in your store, specify your supplier’s address as the Origin address in your store. As a result, it will be used as the ship-from address to calculate shipping costs that shoppers see at checkout.
