It can work and it can fail like anything. You lose a lot of control compared to stocking and shipping goods directly yourself. Drop shipping adds another layer between you and your customer and the drop shipper is never going to care about your customer to the same level you will within your own business. It's all third party arrangements with mixed results. Depends on what you're selling and who you're partnered with to drop ship which will determine the viability and potential succeess.

Hi, here are some of the tips to find the right eCommerce development company (https://www.fortunesoftit.com/au/ecommerce-development-company-australia/)
1. Have a look into companies experience
2. Check their portfolios
3. Analyze their projects and field of expertise
4. Get the profiles of developers
5. Check the reviews for the company
6. Always look for the company which provides support and maintenance post completion of the project.
I hope my answer useful

'Buy now, pay later, or BNPL as it is often abbreviated, is only a good option if you are financially stable. Because of this, it may not be a viable strategy for smaller businesses if they cannot stay afloat without the customer paying at that time. However, it may not always be a bad idea.

Thanks for summing this up, Daniel! BNPL has definitely some pros and cons which are worth weighing down when going for that model. This ties very well with what @Rick Hoskins and @Colony Roofers mentioned above. @Yee Trinh , do you find subscriptions are a more "stable" type of BNPL for small businesses?

The following is from Ethan Taub: 'Though subscriptions can be useful in some cases, they are easy to be forgotten about by the purchaser. Paying in those small instalments at regular intervals sounds like a great offer but if payments are late for any reason then they could face massive consequences down the line. They should be able to pay when ready as long as they are given a deadline.'

Shopify is ideal for starting out and can let you scale to a great size. However, really depends on what sort of customer Journey you want to provide and the scale of what you're selling. Shopfiy can be extended to run as a headless e-commerce platform or there are other solutions to provide a better user experience.
