Want to start an online store without spending thousands upfront on inventory or warehouse space? Dropshipping is the ideal business model. In this complete guide, you will learn how dropshipping works, how profit margins are calculated, and how to run a local dropshipping business using **Zambeel**.
📦 What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store **doesn't keep the products it sells in stock**. Instead, when a customer purchases an item, the store purchases it from a third-party supplier, who ships it directly to the customer.
🔄 How the Dropshipping Model Works:
1. Customer Places Order on Your Store
2. Order Details Sent to Supplier
3. Supplier Packs & Ships to Customer
💰 How Do You Make a Profit?
Your profit is the difference between what you charge the customer and what the supplier charges you for the product + shipping.
💡 Example Profit Calculation:
- Supplier Wholesale Cost (Zambeel) = Rs. 1,000
- Your Retail Price on Shopify = Rs. 2,500
- Ad Cost & Shipping = Rs. 700
- Net Profit Earned = Rs. 800 Per Sale!
