Dropshipping in Georgia
Dropshipping (დროფშიფინგი) in Georgia — start selling online without holding your own stock
Dropshipping is a selling method — not a Sellit feature. You find a supplier and agree a wholesale price; Sellit gives you the shop, card payments straight to your own bank account, and order management.
What is dropshipping, and does it work in Georgia?
Dropshipping is a selling model where you sell a product without holding your own stock — when an order comes in, you order it from a supplier, who ships it straight to the buyer. This works with any online shop, including in Georgia, the country (capital Tbilisi) — you just need a trustworthy shop, a way to take payment, and order management. That's exactly the part Sellit provides: the shop, card payments straight to your own bank account, and an order dashboard. Finding a supplier, pricing, and fulfillment stay yours to run.

Where to find a supplier in Georgia
Finding a supplier is on you, not Sellit — but here's where the search usually starts. Many first-time Georgian sellers work with local wholesalers — at wholesale markets, wholesale shops, or specialist importers, some of whom accept small orders. Others work directly with manufacturers abroad — in Turkey, China, or Europe — found through B2B platforms or trade shows. When vetting a supplier, check: do they actually answer questions, how fast do they send a sample, what's the minimum order quantity, and how long do they take to process an order. Reliability matters more than the lowest price — a slow or unreliable supplier damages your reputation, not theirs.

When picking your first product, look for four things at once: enough margin — a big enough gap between wholesale and retail price that profit survives your ad spend; light and small — cheap and simple to ship; not fragile — survives transit and rarely needs a return; and real demand — something people actually search for, not just something you personally like. Start with one or two products, not a whole catalog — it's far easier to test marketing, pricing, and the supplier itself with a narrow range. Expand once something is actually selling.
What it costs to start
0₾ in stock — that's the core advantage of dropshipping: you buy nothing upfront, and nothing sits unsold in a warehouse, because you don't need one. Opening a shop on Sellit is free to build, the first month is free, then 89₾/month. You'll also need an ad budget (Facebook, Instagram, Google) — that's entirely up to you, and you can start small and scale with results. Beyond that there's practically no other cost: no warehouse, no staff, no upfront purchase.

Margins too thin — if the gap between wholesale and retail price is small, ad spend eats the profit entirely. A slow supplier — if order processing and shipping take too long, buyers get frustrated and ask for refunds. Too many products at once — losing focus makes quality control and marketing harder. Ignoring communication with your supplier — not checking order status leaves delays that you answer for to the buyer, not the supplier.
