How to Start a Dropshipping Business

Starting your own dropshipping e-commerce business is easy and requires a small investment.

You will need the following items to start a dropshipping business.

  • WordPress web hosting (this is where your website files will be stored)
  • The domain name (this will be your store's address, eg dsers.com)
  • Dropshipping extension for WooCommerce (a platform to build an online store)

Web hosting prices start at $8.99 per month (usually billed annually), and around $14.99 per year for a domain name.

Now, this is a significant amount if you are just starting out.

Luckily, Bluehost, one of the largest hosting companies in the world, has agreed to give up beginner users 72% off web hosting and a free domain name. They are also an officially recommended WooCommerce hosting provider.

You can get started for as little as $2.75 per month.

After signing up, Bluehost will automatically install WordPress for you. You will receive an email with login details to access the hosting dashboard.

From here, you'll need to log in to your WordPress site's admin dashboard.

Now that your WordPress site is ready, the next step is to install and activate the WooCommerce plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

For more help, see our detailed instructions on how to start an online store.

After you have WooCommerce installed, the next step is to choose a dropshipping plugin. This will help you convert your eCommerce store into a dropshipping platform.
