The five key elements of a Shopify direct shop.
- Shopify itself. It is the main platform that makes your e-commerce operation possible. Shopify is a tool that allows your shop to exist online and for customers to find it. Think of it as the operating system for your shop. In other words, your iPhone has iOS and the eCommerce shop has Shopify.
- A direct marketing app. We've listed the best Shopify direct marketing apps above. The direct sales app takes care of "fetching" products from suppliers and allows you to import them into the shop and list the products to be sold.
- Payment processing. This is what makes your operation possible from a collection point of view. Payment processing is not always an integral part of Shopify, as it depends on the direct shipping application you choose and the payment method used by that application.
- Direct shipping suppliers. Your supplier is connected to you via the Dropshipping app. In most cases, you do not need to contact your supplier directly outside of a direct sales environment.
- Products. Instead of keeping products in stock, you simply import product lists into the shop. These listings come from the supplier, but they are brought in via the direct shipping application.
This is the way all these elements come together.
You don't need to be an expert in all of these areas, but the aim here is just to know well the basics.
