The Dropshipping business is a method of selling products without having own inventory or stock. It means in Dropshipping method the seller selles product of some third party. So in this business, the merchant is free from having a stock, product delivery stress.

For example, if you want to start a Dropshipping business of t-shirts then you can choose some products from Aliexpress or Amazon or eBay and can list that on your website with your commission price. Now when a user will order from your website then you just need to place the same order on your third party website and the third party will deliver the product directly to the customer.

WordPress and Shopify have some awesome plugins which will make this complete process automated. So using these plugins you can import products of a third party site on your website in a single click. Once a user will order on your website, in a click you can order the same product on the third party with all details. These things are very easy with some plugins.

Disadvantage:

1. Low Margin

   This is the main disadvantage of dropshipping. In this business, you can feel cutthroat competition because of it easy to start and have low investment. and since they are not investing much so they will be okay with even very low margin. So you can not list a product with high margin otherwise customers will start comparing your website from your competitors.

2. Shipping Cost

   Almost every drop shippers work with multiple suppliers. So you are selling products of different suppliers and a customer purchased 4 different products from different suppliers then you need to pay the delivery cost to all 4 suppliers because they are not interconnected and every supplier has its own delivery system. So sometimes this is not profitable.

3. Managing Online Stocks

   Since you don’t have your own inventory so you can not be sure how many pieces you have in stock of a product because the supplier is selling to multiple drop shippers. However, some plugins make this automated but still its a problem if you are using multiple suppliers and its hard to manage.
