Buyer-first approach: Confirm current pricing, stock, documentation and shipping directly with each supplier. This publication has not independently tested merchant products.

Choose a niche

Identify a specific customer, style and price band before shopping for inventory. A narrow opening assortment is easier to photograph and market.

Set a budget

Include samples, packaging, store platform, payment processing, returns, taxes and shipping in your opening budget.

Keep a written record of supplier responses and compare the same product specifications across quotes. For high-value orders, sample approval and an agreed defect-resolution process are more useful than broad marketing promises.

Source and sample

Compare several supplier models, request documentation and inspect samples before purchasing meaningful quantities.

Launch and measure

Build clear product pages, shipping policies and customer support processes; monitor margin and repeat purchase patterns.

Compare current wholesale options
