Dropshipping is not a new business venture, rather it has been modified to suit this current generation. In large markets in Nigeria, dropshipping is very common. For example in Lagos market, there are some men from the east, they don’t have shops or stalls in the market, they stay in various locations. When they notice you are looking lost or unsure, they will approach you, ask for what you want and take you where you need to buy your goods. Then, they collect a percentage from the seller after you leave. According to Oberlo, dropshipping is a type of retail fulfillment method for online stores, where instead of warehousing inventory, merchants purchase products from third-party suppliers as customers make orders. The products are then shipped directly to the consumer. This way, the seller doesn’t have to handle the product directly. In dropshipping you do not necessarily have to buy the product, you just have to connect the seller to the buyer. Dropshipping can be done by anyone, it is not gender biased neither does it have age restrictions. For you to succeed in fashion dropshipping, you must have a fashion entrepreneurship spirit. These steps will put you through on how you can become a fashion dropshipper in Nigeria.
