Published by Nelly Dux, Oct 12, 2021

In France in 2019, the source had asked people who owned dropshipping businesses and those who wanted to start one, which were the main reasons to do so. Dropshipping is a three-party system where the consumer places an order on the website of a reseller, who forwards it to the supplier to ensure the delivery to the end consumer. Thus, most of the respondents who were to start a business wanted to make more money (33 percent). Around 24 percent of the respondents among people who had a dropshipping business also mentioned the fact of being able to work remotely and to become an e-merchant, as one of the main reasons to start a dropshipping business in France in 2019.
