Dropshipping is an e-commerce model in which you list products without holding stock; when a customer orders, the supplier ships directly to them. Your profit is the difference between your selling price and the supplier cost, shipping, payment fees and marketing.
- Register a business and set up invoicing; confirm details with your accountant.
- Choose a niche and test suppliers with sample orders.
- Check how often supplier stock data updates, dispatch times and return handling.
- Choose your channel and check marketplace rules on dropshipping.
- Integrate supplier XML or API feeds with automatic price and stock rules.
- Write original product content and prepare distance-selling and privacy texts.
Advantages are low upfront capital and no warehouse work; risks include thin margins, no quality control, stock mismatches, delivery delays and return complexity. Legally the seller remains responsible to the consumer. Racoun builds custom stores with supplier feed integration, margin rules and stock sync.
