Shipping rates and products

[Maczad]

I have a question.


I'm starting out as a dropshipper and I’ve a little confusion. As a dropshipper that ships to all the country, I am offering free shipping to all countries and meanwhile, adding the shipping fee to my products since it is free shipping i'm offering to everyone.

Now I’m confused with:


1. How do I set my shipping rates since every products have different prices of shipping rate. Especially Africa has higher ship rates than other continents, and I wouldn’t want someone from Africa shopping from my store and using the free shipping option and then I’ve to pay for the high rate shipping cost when I want to reorder.


2. How do I differentiate suppliers who don’t ship to Africa and other countries. Once I import the products, and they want to make an order, I’m guessing it doesn’t show whether the supplier ships to the country or not and they won’t be aware either since it doesn’t show.

Please help. Thank you

Are you sure there will be customers from Africa buying products from you?

In stead of worrying about the birds and the bees, focus on how you can advertise and convert your store to customers who are going to buy.

And you can exclude selling to African countries by excluding those countries from your Shipping Option

I think what you meant was finding the countries to target and sell to, right?

Always recommend the Big4: USA, UK, Australia, Canada

That is something you must research yourself.

You have to implement a tiered system based on destination and weight, instead of offering free shipping to all countries. This allows you to adjust the shipping cost based on actual rates for each country or continent.

Ok, but how to implement it? Any guide suggestions, please? I would appreciate it since I am still learning at an educational institution of business, and some support will be really welcome. I am lucky that I found at least https://assignmentbro.com/us/commercial-law-assignment-help to get professional assistance and commercial law assignment help. However, it takes work to begin doing business in this domain and being a competitor to the existing ones already.

Figuring out which markets to target is also tied with knowing how to attract visitors in the first place, so doing on and off-page SEO is an integral part of both endeavors, I think...
