This course is designed for complete beginners who want to become professional store owners. It is built around the modern 2026 reality: dropshipping is no longer just “copy a product and run ads.” Today, successful stores need strong branding, reliable suppliers, fast shipping, legal compliance, AI-assisted research, short-form content, UGC, TikTok Shop, CRO, automation, and proper financial systems.
Shopify defines dropshipping as selling products without handling inventory or shipping, with suppliers fulfilling orders directly to customers. TikTok Shop now supports social-commerce features such as LIVE shopping, shoppable videos, and creator marketing. Meta’s Ad Library remains useful for researching active ads and competitors. Legal and tax topics are also essential: for example, UK VAT registration is required once taxable turnover goes over £90,000, EU IOSS is used for low-value imported goods up to €150, and US sales tax economic nexus rules vary by state
