In the corona time, it was possible to create a shopify trial for 3 months

If you cant afford 29$ a month or cannot make money in the first 14-days trial, My advice : dont even start with dropshipping, try other methods to earn some cash to invest in dropshipping.

IF I build with wordpress it will be easy to get payment gateway, like 2CO? I heard that shopify stores get this easy approval from 2CO other than woocommerce.

Can’t you just create a Shopify Partners account, build a store for free and once it’s ready to take off - just transfer ownership to your second e-mail? I used to run a self-made brand like that without paying the subscription fee. Wasn’t sure if it was legal but I did it anyways.

What is wrong with these people?
You cannot open an online store if you cannot even afford a monthly fee, or do you think the rest is also free like traffic and product and shit.
To run a Shopify store successfully you need to put in at least $5k, at least so just stop it if you don't have that kind of cash

To run a shop you can run it with woocommerce and WordPress, 70$ yearly. Then you need to have cash for products (if you buy a 2$ product is easy). You can do SEO. This is free too, or even Reddit, Facebook groups.
You need an Idea, not money. There are many people that have money but do not succeed.
Do not discourage other people, we are at a business blackhat forum and we can help each other at least with pieces of information.
To the question:
Shopify isn't free.
WordPress and WooCommerce yes. You need to pay hosting and domain and you must learn woocommerce. Isn't easy but isn't difficult too if you work with it for 3-4 months. You can do everything if that thing is your dream.

You cannot run a business this way, SEO really who has the time to wait a year for some obscure ranking (as product pages don't rank well) also very expensive
Reddit gets you free traffic but be ready for lost of bans also you are going to need tools and proxies to keep shit running, also cost a great deal of money.
Same for FB groups
Woocommerce isn't free either you need templates, plugins and hosting, dude doesn't even have cash for a freaking domain and that wants to run a business, get the fuck outa here with your pipe dreams and your losing grip on reality...
I am so sick and tired of people that think you can build an online business with no money at all, not even $29- a month for a fucking shop and want everything for free, I can't stand these people, I am sorry.
I agree.

You absolutely can create & run a business with $0 money investment. I've done it.
At the end of the day, you have to invest something - either your money or time.
Money is easier, because you can get more money - but no one in the world can buy more time, so it's more valuable. Also your level of efficiency will determine how much time you invest. A creative or lazy person can find a way to do something quick, that would take an ordinary person hours or weeks to do.
You could easily get free hosting, spin up a shop using Woocommerce + Wordpress and sell your good through social, email or word of mouth. Shopify just takes care of a lot of things like caching, payment gateways, etc.

It's better to go with woocomerce if you are not lazy and you know how to set up the store.
And get Stripe because no one has a good experience with 2co

I agree on it. If you do your own, you already made profit of 29$..

Why not just go for WordPress + Woocommerce instead?
