Dropshipping beginning fees aren't all that horrible when the time comes to part with some of your hard-earned cash.  A breakdown of the initial investment will give you an idea of what is needed to start. Some of these charges are per month, while others are one-time, annual, or usage-based. More information can be found in the descriptions below.

Let start with the fundamentals to start with dropshipping: 

You need an online store:    For your internet business, you'll need a store. We'll go with Shopify because it's the most popular option, but you may also try BigCommerce, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, or any other platform you choose. The good thing here is the majority of them follow a similar pricing structure. Shopify offers a 14-day free trial and then charges $29 per month after that.

You domain name for your store: For an online store, you'll also need a domain name. This name will determine how customers will identify and differentiate you from the bunch. The cost of registering a domain name through Shopify ranges from $10 to $20 each year.

You will need an app for dropshipping products: You'll also need an application or app that lets you import products from several sources and automate orders. Oberlo is now the most popular alternative, as it offers a forever-free option with a 500-product limit. However, if you want to scale, you'll have to upgrade to the Basic package, which costs $29.90. Dropified and Importify are two other amazing options.

As described above, in order to start up a drop shipping business you need to do some initial investment to cover the essentials. this can range from  $70   to a couple of hundred or thousand depending on the size of your project, the platform used, and your skills.
