Dropshipping · checked 11 November 2026

It works as a cheap way to test products: an Indian supplier ships COD orders under your name from your Shopify store, one product at a time.

Pick a supplier that holds stock and settles COD (Baapstore's self-serve plans start at ₹9,999; Qikink prints your own designs only after an order), order a sample yourself, and connect it to a Shopify store at ₹1,499 a month billed yearly. Price for the parcels that come back unpaid and for ad cost per order before you scale, and get a GSTIN before you list on any marketplace. Once a product sells steadily, buy stock and ship it yourself, because that is where the margin and the brand are.
