Before starting a dropshipping business in Canada, understand it requires low upfront costs but has slim profit margins. Research and select a profitable niche with less competition. Choose reliable suppliers with quality products and efficient shipping. Familiarize yourself with e-commerce platforms and digital marketing strategies to attract customers. Be aware of Canadian taxes and regulations regarding online sales. Lastly, provide excellent customer service to build trust and retain customers, as dropshipping involves reliance on third-party suppliers for order fulfillment.
