When to buy a pre-made dropshipping store?
you can buy a premade store if you see the store listed has the same niche you want to target, and all you have to do is add your product to it.
What you should consider before buying a prebuilt store ?
there is a lot of premade store sellers everywhere from fiverr to youtubers selling such service and even established websites who sell premade shopify websites all ranging from 50$ up to 300$.
but before buying any store you should consider the following:
- have a goal in mind about what you want the store to look like
- check with the seller if the store has the basic things like
- logo
- a good theme
- preinstalled apps
- necessary pages like tracking, privacy policy, TOS, contact
- clear menu
- well designed home page
- colors and font chosen wisely
- some products with good pictures and description
those are the basic things that should be in a store and will save you time designing it from scratch.
Where to buy pre-made dropshipping stores ?
there is many marketplaces where you can buy pre made dropshipping store such as fiverr, upwork, flippa and many other places. some of those marketplace over promise on the results you will receive claiming that you will get a 6 figure store or a 10k per month store.
so keep your expectations real on what you will receive and be patient until you find the store you want, as it doesn’t worth to buy a store and end up redesigning it again.

How much you should pay for a premade shopify store ?
a reasonable price for a premade store would be no more than 200$, te less the better. as most sold stores are just a replica with different images and description. premade store price from different marketplaces ranges from 49$ and goes up to 1000$, depending on which theme you’re getting with the store and many customization are done on it.
Why you should not buy a pre-made store ? and what to do instead ?
In my opinion buying premade dropshipping stores is a waste of time and money, n matter how tempting the seller makes it that it is a 6 figure store, or built on premium theme… as that is not what makes dropshipping business successful.
instead of buying a premade store i would suggest that you do a careful product research, and have a target audience to whom you want to sell the product to. then look for competitors and see what they are doing in their stores. and after that you hire a designer to design a specific store with the characteristic that you want and give him examples of how you want it to be.
that’s a summary of the right approach and it will always be better than buying a store, this way even if you spend that 200$ on the store and it didn’t work you will learn many thing in the process, and you will have done a good market research that will sharpen your skills for the next winning product hunt.
