Top Dropshipping Memberships: Supplier Costs

So you’ve decided that you’re going to open an online retail store. You’ve chosen the kinds of products you’d like to sell. The only thing left is finding a supplier. Once you find one to your liking, you may discover that in order to do business with them a membership fee is required. But don’t be alarmed. Dropshipping memberships are pretty much the norm.

This article breaks down membership fees and what they entail. Typically, dropshipping membership fees are for services and features that support your business.

Also, we’ll look at suppliers with no membership fees vs the ones with membership fees. Some suppliers offer dropshipping services at no cost. Others offer different dropshipping plans for retailers based on their needs, which sometimes includes a free plan. The major difference between suppliers that offer paid memberships and those that don’t, is simply that they have different business models.
