So far I know you need a product, shopping cart service, payment processor, payment gateway, and a supplier to have a running dropshipping business.


Ok. So how do you connect all these services and processes, so I can get paid money?


Where can I find a reputable shopping cart service, payment processor, payment gateway, and the supplier?

    Take a few hours each day and read the threads in this forum. That's one way. Another is to research diligently by reading everything you can on dropshipping.

    It's not easy, but possible.

    Good luck.

    To quote internet marketing expert, Marlon Sanders, "find out where the money is being spent and then throw yourself in its path".

    Ecommerce isn't the only means of promoting products either. Drop shipping and ecommerce are two completely separate entities.

    You could own an ecommerce site, carry your products in stock and not drop ship at all, right?

    On the other side of the coin, you can use alternate methods of contacting prospects and customers and drop ship the products to them whenever you make a sale, avoiding ever having to drive traffic to a website.

    This is really a lot easier than some people make it out to be.

      I'm not sure I agree with that.

      That being said, your post is spot on. And it illustrates a point: have a plan with clear goals and then learn everything you can about how to get where you want to be.
