What is dropshipping?

At its core, dropshipping is a business model built on simplicity.

How does it work?

1. Customer → Store
   A customer visits your online store, browses products, and decides to make a purchase. They add the item to the cart and pay you directly through your store. You don’t need to have the product in stock – your store acts as the showcase where people place orders.
2. Store → Supplier
   Once the order is confirmed, you send the details to your supplier. The supplier already has the product ready.
3. Supplier → Profit
   You set your own price in the store. The customer pays the full amount to you, and you only pay the supplier the wholesale cost afterward. The difference between what the customer paid and what you pay the supplier is your clear profit. This means you always earn money upfront before covering the product cost.
4. Supplier → Shipping → Customer
   After receiving the order information, the supplier packs the product and ships it directly to your customer’s address. The package arrives neatly prepared, without mentioning the supplier. From the customer’s perspective, it looks like the order came straight from your store.

With Sellvia, your profits aren’t eaten away by hidden costs or bad suppliers. You get a clean, proven business model where the money you earn actually stays in your pocket.

Real stories of real people

That’s what makes Sellvia’s model so powerful: it’s not just dropshipping, it’s dropshipping perfected.

How much does it cost to start dropshipping with Sellvia?

This is where Sellvia stands out from almost every other ecommerce platform: you can start for free.

Normally, dropshipping comes with a list of expenses before you’ve even made your first sale. Signing up for marketplaces, paying listing fees, covering subscription costs – all of that eats into your budget before you’ve earned a single dollar. It’s no wonder so many beginners quit early.

With Sellvia, the barrier is practically nonexistent. You don’t pay for:

Instead, you launch with a ready-made online store, already stocked with products, descriptions, images, and a payment system. It’s all free to start. You also will get a $100 startup bonus to spruce up your store with unique product packages and promo tools.

What does this mean in practice? You can open your store today with zero upfront investment, start selling right away, and reinvest your earnings into new inventory, or marketing if you want to grow faster. This flexibility is what makes Sellvia perfect for side hustlers testing the waters or ambitious entrepreneurs who want to scale.

Your only other costs are the ones you choose – like a custom domain name to brand your store, or marketing campaigns to bring in more traffic. And even there, Sellvia gives you ready-made creatives, social packs, and promotion options to keep your expenses low.

How to start dropshipping with Sellvia: 5 steps

Step 1: Sign up free

No long applications, no hidden fees. You just click Start, fill in a few preferences, and your Sellvia account is ready. Right away, you’re handed a fully built online store – no coding, no design, no tech headaches. It’s like walking into a shop where the shelves are already stocked and the lights are on. All you need to do is open the doors.

Step 2: Choose the store name

Picking a name is usually stressful because beginners are scared of choosing “wrong.” With Sellvia, you can relax. We have a selection of the best names that will carve themselves into the memory of your clients.

Step 3. Add more products (optional)

When it comes to the products, your back is also covered. Your store will have 50+ proven best-sellers from various niches already pre-loaded.

And if you’d like something more peculiar, we have special product packages with trendy, unique, hard-to-find products everyone can’t wait to get their hands on. Whether you want to run a store around one hot trend or a mix of everyday essentials, Sellvia makes it simple to pick products that people already want.

Step 4: Enjoy your turnkey store!

Here’s where most people quit in traditional ecommerce – uploading products, writing descriptions, taking photos, and formatting pages. With Sellvia, that’s already done. Your turnkey ecommerce store comes preloaded with product titles, SEO-optimized descriptions, professional photos, and ready-to-go pricing. Instead of spending weeks polishing listings, you launch with a store that looks professional from day one.

Step 5: Promote your store

No traffic = no sales. That’s why Sellvia gives you ready-made marketing tools to attract buyers from day one. You’ll get social media content packs, tested ad creatives, influencer strategies, and even auto-promotion directly from Sellvia. So even if you’ve never run a single ad, you can start driving traffic and making sales without wasting money on trial-and-error campaigns.

Step 6: Watch Sellvia fulfill your orders

This is where the magic of dropshipping shines. The moment a customer places an order, you redirect it to us, we process it, pack it, and ship it from a warehouse within 1 business day. Also, you can enjoy automated order fulfillment! Either way, you don’t have to lift a finger. Even returns are handled for you. All you do is watch the sales roll in, check your dashboard, and focus on growing your business.

Think of it this way: traditional ecommerce is like opening a brick-and-mortar shop – you stock shelves, hope customers come, and deal with every headache yourself. Sellvia’s dropshipping is like running a digital shop where the shelves restock automatically, the staff work for free, and every order is delivered without you lifting a finger.

For most beginners, that difference is what makes the dream sustainable. Instead of burning out juggling boxes and spreadsheets, you get to focus on the fun part – building your brand, growing your audience, and making sales.
