Starting a dropshipping business is simpler than ever, but the sellers who succeed follow a clear process. This guide walks through the five steps we see working most often.
1. Choose a niche and validate demand
Pick a category you can speak about with confidence and check that people are already searching for it. Look for products with a healthy margin and low return rates.
2. Register with a sourcing platform
Create your Sourceinfi account and explore the product catalogue. Products are researched and quality checked, so you start with a reliable range.
3. Connect your store
Link your online store so that products and orders stay in sync. Set clear pricing that covers product cost, shipping and your marketing budget.
4. Run your marketing
- Start with a small budget and test several creatives.
- Track cost per order, not just clicks.
- Double down on the products and audiences that convert.
5. Scale with confidence
Once a product proves itself, increase spend gradually, add related products and use custom-branded packaging to build repeat customers.
