Share of French dropshippers who do it as a primary or secondary activity in 2019
Dropshipping basically consists of forwarding an order to a supplier to ensure a delivery to the end consumer. Often, the product prices on drop shipping websites exceed those from the supplier. Thus, in France in 2019, the source had asked people who owned dropshipping businesses and those who wanted to start one, if it was a complementary or main activity. Most of the respondents who were to start a business were doing dropshipping as a secondary activity (** percent), to make ends meet. From those who already had a business, 64 percent reported it as being their main job.
