In need of some advice

Thank you SaleHoo for the generous continuous support.
I have some misunderstandings & your clarifications would be much appreciated in this manner.

My status: I'm about to launch a Shopify store, in the "Mother & Baby" niche products. I intend to find U.S. based suppliers and through marketing, I'll target U.S. customers.

1) What is the ideal number of suppliers (Dropshippers) whom I will be dealing with?
Should I be dealing with as few as possible to have more concentration on some issues? Or should I be having as many as possible to avoid certain disadvantages like running out-of-stock for a winning product, etc?

2) In my case, as I am a non-U.S. citizen living outside of the U.S., and only dropshipping from U.S. suppliers to U.S. customers with no nexus at all to any state of the United States whatsoever: Whether I incorporated my company in my home country or whether not incorporated, Are there ANY TAXES levied on me?
(Definitely I'll be searching for suppliers who don't require a Reseller Tax ID, just to rest my mind)

3) After contacting a supplier and agreeing on a dropshipping contract, how do I list the products that I had chosen from their catalog onto my Shopify store? Is there any automation app that could facilitate the process Or should I be handling the listings manually, product by product, supplier by supplier, one by one at a time?

Your help is much appreciated as always

Hi Akram,

There's no set or ideal number of dropshippers that you need to follow. You can work with as many dropshippers as you'd like - provided you can manage multiple inventory as well.

Suppliers will provide the product catalog (unless otherwise stated) once they have approved you as a retailer. SaleHoo does not have any automation/ integration tools to third party sites. Check with your supplier if they offer any.
