class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2006 as a cloud-based platform to help people build websites for free, Wix is now used by approximately <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wix.com\/about\/us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">200 million users worldwide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This makes it one of the leading website builders on the market. If in the past the platform was not among the best ecommerce platforms, lately Wix has started to expand the functionality of its platform for people to create an ecommerce store fast and easy. So, now, Wix is competing with the other giants of the ecommerce space, including Shopify, Squarespace or WooCommerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if Wix is a website builder and not a dedicated online store platform like Shopify, we still believe it gives you access to extensive tools and awesome features to setup an ecommerce store and it\u2019s a great choice for launching your first online business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some of its advantages? Well,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wix.com\/ecommerce\/website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers multiple ecommerce plans for every budget, it\u2019s very easy to use, which makes it perfect for beginners and also owns an extensive app market with powerful tools to help you build and scale your online business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_start_dropshipping_with_Wix\"><\/span><b>Why start dropshipping with Wix?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re sure most of you already know what dropshipping is, but just in case, let&#8217;s see what dropshipping is again. Dropshipping is an ecommerce business model where you sell products on your online store without actually having an inventory of your own or a distribution center to store and ship these items. Instead, your products come from a third-party <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/dropshipping-suppliers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dropshipping supplie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">r or a manufacturer, who also ships these items directly to your customer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Now, why is this ecommerce business model so popular? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, it\u2019s obvious, right? Dropshipping is great if you\u2019re starting your first online store, don\u2019t know what to sell, don\u2019t manufacture your products, don\u2019t want to buy large quantities of products or don\u2019t have where to store a ton of stock. When dropshipping, you just pay for the products you actually sell. How awesome is that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>And what about the profit? Is dropshipping profitable enough?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Here is how it works: you sell your products to customers at a retail price that is higher than the wholesale price you need to pay to the supplier. The profit is what you keep after you pay the supplier and other tools or services you use, like the Wix subscription plan.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this profit can be decent or huge, depending on the products you sell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you sell a fashion item that has a wholesale price of $18 (the price you pay to the supplier), and then you sell it to a customer for $36, your profit is $18.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all these reasons and more, it\u2019s forecasted that the global dropshipping market will reach <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1264272\/dropshipping-market-size\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$196.78 billion in 2022 and it will continue to grow, reaching $476.1 billion by 2026<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More on the pros and cons of dropshipping in the next chapter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_and_cons_of_dropshipping\"><\/span><b>Pros and cons of dropshipping<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many advantages to starting a dropshipping business, the next are the most important ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s easy to setup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Once you take your time and learn the most important parts of this business model, it\u2019s actually easy to start a dropshipping store as the starting costs are low.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No need for an office<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can work from anywhere. That\u2019s huge, right? You can setup an online store and dropship from your home, for example. You only need a laptop and an internet connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s easy to scale<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With dropshipping, once you start getting more and more sales, you can grow and scale your business without worrying about other costs or logistics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No need to rent a storage place<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As the suppliers hold the stock, you won\u2019t need to find a warehouse space to store your products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No packing and shipping<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As we already said, one great benefit of dropshipping is that all the packaging and shipping will be done by your third-party supplier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, as you can expect, there are also disadvantages when dropshipping. Here are the most important ones:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Low margins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When you start, your margins may be quite low, so don\u2019t expect high margins right from the start. Now, if you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/how-to-find-the-best-dropshipping-niches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">choose the right niche<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and do your research, you probably can reach bigger profits fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Complex order processing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This happens if you choose to sell products from multiple suppliers and platforms. Different suppliers have different shipping times and services, which can create confusion and delay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Limited control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This business model means letting go of having a lot of control over stocking products, order fulfilment, or shipping. You need to trust your suppliers to do all these so that you can focus on marketing and getting orders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Customer service issues<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You may think you don\u2019t need to provide support, but you\u2019d be wrong. Yes, you\u2019re not the one making and shipping the products, but your customers don\u2019t know that, so in their eyes, if something goes wrong,\u00a0 they will turn to you for solutions. So make sure you\u2019re always available and helpful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_start_dropshipping_with_a_Wix_store\"><\/span><b>How to start dropshipping with a Wix store<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the steps you need to follow to start a dropshipping business when having a Wix store.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_the_dropshipping_business_model\"><\/span><b>Research the dropshipping business model<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to research all about the dropshipping model.

As you know, the ecommerce world is highly competitive, so you need to choose what kind of products you want to sell. We strongly advise against selling a bit of everything, as that strategy can be overwhelming and will make the whole process more difficult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best approach is to find a niche and stick to it. How can you do that? Well, there are a few things you should keep in mind, for example, what kind of products are you most passionate about? What products do you like the most and maybe have a bit of knowledge about? You should have a strong interest in the niche you\u2019re going to pick and also some experience with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, what\u2019s trending these days in your region or worldwide?

We recommend doing extensive keyword research so you can better understand what your audience is searching and then building up your online store (for example product pages) around those keywords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To rank better on Google, you could also start a blog and write a few articles per month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once these are done, you can start by advertising your products using Google Shopping Ads, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest Ads. Of course, it all depends on what social media platform works better in your region and the niche you chose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re new to all of these, you should only focus on setting up only Google Ads and Facebook Ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few free courses to help you get started:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads courses: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/projects\/google-ads-beginner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coursera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/skillshop.exceedlms.com\/student\/catalog\/list?category_ids=53-google-ads?use_local=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Skill Shop<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook Ads courses: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/advertising-with-facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coursera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/learn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setup_a_realistic_budget\"><\/span><b>Setup a realistic budget<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is probably one of the most important steps you need to figure out if you decide to start dropshipping. Many will tell you it\u2019s not at all expensive to have a dropshipping store. Well, even though you won&#8217;t need to pay upfront for any products you publish on your store, you still need to have some money to start such an online business. For example, you need to have a budget for building up your Wix store, or for finding dropshipping apps (which give you access to products and suppliers) and advertising your products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what\u2019s a realistic budget? Honestly, it\u2019s quite difficult to say exactly how much you will need, as it depends on so many factors, like the type of store, niche, type of products, audience, competition, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, as we want to help you see the big picture, here\u2019s an example of how much it can cost to start a dropshipping business in the USA:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domain: $14 per year<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ecommerce platform (such as Wix): $26 per month (plus the 2% transaction fee)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dropshipping platform (such as AppScenic): $37 per month<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sampling products: $200<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing (such as advertising on Google and Facebook): $1,000 per month<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LLC company to incorporate: $600 one-time fee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other apps: $29 per month<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the total cost you need to pay one time is approx. <\/span><b>$1800<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After that, the cost per month will be a bit lower, around <\/span><b>$1000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you keep the same budget for advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a chance you will spend less than this and even have a successful dropshipping business. But, you should know the budget above is meant to help you be prepared for many scenarios and also let you test at least 15 products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/the-true-cost-of-dropshipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More on the true cost of dropshipping<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_start_your_dropshipping_business\"><\/span><b>Ready to start your dropshipping business?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you think dropshipping is for you, then start by setting up your online store with Wix and then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/retailer.appscenic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">register for an AppScenic Account<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to import and publish products on your store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/retailer.appscenic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wix-dropshipping-with-AppScenic.png\" alt=\"Wix dropshipping with AppScenic\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wix-dropshipping-with-AppScenic.png 1920w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wix-dropshipping-with-AppScenic-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wix-dropshipping-with-AppScenic-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wix-dropshipping-with-AppScenic-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Wix-dropshipping-with-AppScenic-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just released our Wix integration, and as we know many of you are thinking about starting a dropshipping business, here comes a step by step guide on how you can start dropshipping if you already have or you\u2019re thinking of setting up a Wix store.\u00a0 So, read on if you want to set up [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11564,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,64,35],"tags":[28,51,63],"class_list":["post-11563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dropshipping","category-integrations","category-retailers","tag-dropshipping","tag-retailers","tag-wix"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appscenic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
