Dropshipping: Do I pay products before selling online [Oberlo weekly Q&A]

Hey everyone, my name's David – and it's question time.

Just like each week, we're taking a closer look at questions that the community dropped

into the comments of videos on our YouTube channel.

If you have questions of your own, don't be shy!

Alright, let's get to it:

So this question is from an anonymous viewer who wants to know if they need to purchase

products before they import them to their online store.

Great question!

And the answer -- is no, you do NOT need to purchase any products before you import them

to your online store.

That's part of the beauty of dropshipping.

You never need to hold any inventory.

Instead, when you receive an order, you'll purchase the products from a supplier, and

that supplier will ship them directly to your customer's door.

That means the startup costs are virtually nothing.

Of course, there's still plenty of work for you to do: you need to come up with a pricing strategy

you need to take care of marketing, make sure all your ads are running you want them to,

but you don't need to worry about paying for the products until your customers have paid for the products.

We've included some resources to help you choose products that you can sell online in

the description.

Good luck!
