Infiltrate the dealer, find the supplier!

I wanted to get in the game with the least amount of risk of spending money so I figured out an approach that could get you started with no money. It's basically Retail Arbitrage, but without the stress of paying for the product first.

I got a square up account as my payment gateway and synced it to my woocommerce website. I then figured out a niche to base some products around that are well made and with consistent inventory that source from eBay and Amazon, but with same day or next day shipping.

Now my problem was I didn't want to use my money and then get stuck with any product that could be returned, this is where square comes in. They have an instant pay feature where if a customer buys from you store you can then do an instant payout to your debit to then purchase the product. Of course, this is minus your markup and credit card fees.

As for returns I use the sellers terms they provide, so it's usually anything by Amazon prime since they are good about returns, in addition, I just tell the customer there is a restocking fee of $5 bucks to cover the charge back.

At this point, I'm using Amazon free tier, and just buying domains from name cheap.

My biggest hurdle is the niche and finding products that fit the niche.

Yeah, I don´t want to burst your bubble and some will say it´s enough but in reality that is not nearly enough to succeed. If you start a store you start it with $100?

Domain name, plugins which you will definitely need and with shopify will be all monthly subscriptions, as the pro themes already cost $180 I am going to assume you will be using the same shitty free theme that thousands of newbies are using so unless you are very good in CSS you won't stand out, you want to make money you will need to advertise, a big chance PP will freeze your funds in the beginning so you will need to front the purchases, you got a CC?

All things to consider and sure here and there will be some people that claim they started with $100 or less but fact is most will fail.

This is not a reply to discourage you but to warn you to not take it lightly. Dropshipping sounds easy on paper and easy to start but hard to succeed in.
