Learn Dropshipping – Step-by-Step Guide

Dropshipping is a business model where you sell products online without holding inventory. Instead, suppliers ship directly to your customers after they place an order on your store.

2️⃣ Choose a Theme & Customize Your Store

  1. Go to “Online Store” > “Themes”.
  2. Pick a free or premium theme (Dawn is a good free option).
  3. Click “Customize” to edit:
