Creating a dropshipping store requires a sizeable investment. However, there are ways that you can implement to cut down your costs.
Try open-source content management instead of premium ecommerce platforms. If you are very good with web design and development, try Joomla or Drupal, however, if you are completely novice, try Wordpress.
Avoid using premium themes, add-ons, and plugins. When you use paid themes and plugins, it will increase your store running costs. Therefore, avoid using paid plugins and themes.
Instead of using premium plugins to import products, try using plugins that are free to use or even try to add products manually. When you add products manually, your workload will increase, however, you will also save a lot of money.
Automation can cut down your workload, however, it will also increase your cost. The whole idea of cutting down your cost is to keep your expenses minimum so that you maximize your profits, or even when you are not making profits you are able to run the business for a long time without huge losses.
