How is nopCommerce different from other marketplaces?

Rather than being a marketplace, nopCommerce is a shopping cart solution that is based on asp.net, the Open Source web framework created by Microsoft technologies. Being Open Source makes it one of the most popular ways to create an eCommerce website, and very much affordable for retailers.

There are more than 1,500 integrations, with plugins, themes and language packs that make it easy to reach customers around the world. You’ll also find an active community of over quarter of a million users that can offer help and advice if you encounter any issues.

 

Why Dropship with nopCommerce?

When you’re setting up a DropShipping business – or extending your retail business to include DropShipped sales – then you can start selling quickly and easily on marketplaces. But the best way to increase your success is to build your own website, so that customers begin to remember your brand, and begin to seek you out for repeat purchases. Having a solid, secure solution for building your website means that customers will have confidence in buying from you.

When you’re DropShipping with a nopCommerce website, rather than on a marketplace, you’re not competing with other listings for the same product. Your customers have come to your website because they already recognise your brand, or they have enough trust in your website that they’re browsing with the intent to buy.

If you’re wondering whether nopCommerce is a dependable option for your business – well, the BMW group, Staples and The North Face all rely on the technology to run their websites, and it is good enough for them, it is more than dependable for DropShipping businesses.

 

Pros and Cons of nopCommerce DropShipping business

The flexibility provided by the add-ons and plugins is what attracts many users to nopCommerce – the system makes allowances for the GDPR, can process multiple currencies and languages, has support for regional taxes and laws, as well as management of multiple international stores.

All this is absolutely free, because it is built on Open Source technology, however, if you want to remove the “Powered by nopCommerce” tag at the bottom of each page then you’ll need to buy a license. If you’re running more than one website, you can buy a license to cover all of the sites on a single server.

Getting your nopCommerce website set up is relatively straightforward, if you’re familiar with asp.net and Microsoft solutions (such as using Visual Studio as your IDE). The documentation is written with developers in mind – so if that isn’t you, then a simpler solution may be right for your business – either Shopify or BigCommerce may be a good place to start. In addition, you’ll need Windows hosting, which can cost more than Linux solutions.
