Dropship arrangement can be a way for you to have an online store and not worry about product storage, inventory maintenance, order fulfilment etc. When you use the service of a dropship vendor, you advertise and try to sell products that that vendor has and when orders come in you forward the order details to them - the dropship vendor. The dropship vendors fulfills the order including shipping the product. You usually charge the customer and pay wholesale (that is after your commission subtracted) price to the dropship vendor. Still many other aspects of running an online store may remain in your area of responsibility - payment processing, customer service to some extend, returns handling etc.
There have been dropship vendors who claim they can provide you also with a platform to help you to a certain degree to build an online store. I would expect for some dropship companies to have such offering that deserves attention. In the scope of research of this article we have not been able to find examples that create the impression of a fully automated and free set up. We will mention a few web sites that we have found to offer something close to that but BE WARNED that wiht the exception of OpenDropship.com these were not researched in detail.
