    Starting out my SaleHoo Store

    Hi guys,

    I just bought my salehoo store and I found a few wholesaler for my niche and I would like to have some tips on how I should start.

    My niche market is women shoes and most of the wholesaler I found do not dropship. I don't have a lot of cash flow yet so my order will be low.

    Everytime I order a pair of shoes they come in a package of 12 and I can't choose the size.

    I don't want to have many products sleeping in my inventory.

    Anyone has strategy about how many to order etc ...?

    PS: I have pretty good wholesale price on the shoes I can make arround 20-70 $ profit

    Hi Chris and everyone,
    Just starting out myself this month with the Salehoo store. Going with basic items for children. Not a lot out there for me with my little storage area and limited cash. I still have not figured out how to take credit cards with the store. I am looking into Paypal Website Standard but do not know if it is compatable. Has anyone any suggestions.

    Chris, I hope someone gives you some tips on your problem as I am trying to learn myself. Best of luck and I hope to see you profit well.

    Hi Navel,

    I hope you'll be doing good you too! I think it only a question of time and hard work.

    I hope someone will answer both of our question!

    Hi Christopher,

    Sorry about the delay in addressing your posts, we're a bit swamped with support tickets and trying our best to respond to everyone.

    For starters, I would agree that Dropshipping would be the best way to start especially as you are just starting out and you will be selling various sizes. Having a shoe size or style not sold is a risk you cannot afford at this stage.

    I did a search fro you and found a few more dropshippers that have really beautiful women's shoes -

    Hope you can find one of the dropshippers listed above suitable to your needs.

    And by the way, thanks for the compliment! It means well :)

    Cheers!

    You're welcome Chris :)

    Sorry took long for me to reply to you but I checked out the supplier you mentioned in your post and they seemed pretty legit. They have been online a little over a year but there does not seem to be any negative feedback or comments about them.

    I read through most of their site and everything looked promising. Their products were amazing too!

    You'll need a resale or sales tax ID to do business with them. I'm not sure where you are based but the equivalent of a sales tax in other countries, would be a VAT ID, GST or ABN.

    Hope this helps :)
