Dropshipping lets you run a store and sell products you don't own. When a customer orders, you buy the item from a supplier who ships it — you never hold stock, so you can start with little or no capital. Shopnest makes it work the way business actually happens in Nigeria: on WhatsApp and social.
Instead of buying goods upfront and hoping they sell, you list products from a supplier. A customer orders and pays you, you order from the supplier, and they ship. Your profit is the margin between your price and theirs — with no warehouse and no inventory risk.
Low startup cost, social-first selling, and a cash-on-delivery culture make it ideal here. You don't need paid ads — you sell through WhatsApp, status, and social where buyers already are.
Connect with suppliers through Shopnest's supplier network and add their products to your own store. Let the AI write the descriptions, share your store link, and take orders. When a customer pays, you fulfil through the supplier — and you can use a delivery fleet for fast last-mile delivery. New to it? Read our guide on how to start dropshipping in Nigeria.
No stock to buy, no warehouse to rent. Set up your store free, list the products you want to sell, and only pay a supplier once a customer has already paid you.
Little or nothing — you only pay a supplier after a customer orders and pays you. The store is free.
Through Shopnest's supplier network, so you're not sourcing blind.
You agree payment directly with the buyer — transfer or cash on delivery — then pay your supplier from that.
Yes — it's a normal retail model.
