Information
Dropshipping has long been a financially secure way to sell products through online stores or platforms without investing in inventory. With dropshipping, the wholesaler ships the products to buyers on behalf of the online store selling the products. Many wholesalers offer online solutions for website builders that make it easy to keep products, prices, and inventory information up-to-date.
The term dropshipping has acquired a somewhat negative connotation in recent years because it has been associated with scams and long delivery times. However, there's nothing wrong with dropshipping if, for example, you use reliable wholesalers based in Europe and, as a webshop owner, you are honest about your identity and can handle waiting times of possibly several days.
Qumup has experience in almost completely automating these webshop update processes. The best solution must be determined for each wholesaler. If you plan to launch a webshop this way, Qumup can fully manage the entire process of building such a webshop for you.
We can develop a webshop upon request that has a layout similar to the four-language webshop QloQs.store, through which Qumup offers watches and jewelry for sale. Another option is a webshop like Kwantumkortingen.nl, another Qumup webshop. Finally, a layout similar to the Qumup webshop 'Kantooruitrusting.nl' is also an option. It's possible to build a complete solution that can be demonstrated as a prototype with a limited number of products. You are responsible for arranging contracts with payment intermediaries (such as Mollie or Stripe), but Qumup can also assist you with this.
The cost of developing such an online store depends on the volume of products, the number of languages to be used, and the complexity of the online connections the wholesaler offers. Costs range from €4,000 to €20,000.
You can also have Qumup build you a webshop if you prefer to maintain it entirely yourself. Development costs for such a simple webshop range from €2,000 to €6,000. This webshop also has the same basic layout as one of the Qumup webshops mentioned above.
