Dropshipping is an e-commerce business model with split responsibility between suppliers and dropshippers. Suppliers are responsible for production, storage and delivery. Dropshippers are responsible for online stores, branding, marketing campaigns, communication with customers and distribution of orders.
To connect dropshippers and suppliers, dropshippers have to find a profitable dropshipping niche, trending products and their suppliers. You can find suppliers from all over the world using numerous tools that help you find reliable suppliers. In this article, we will briefly list and describe the seven best dropshipping tools for finding suppliers.

Suppliers are responsible for production and delivery, so you need to search for them from trustworthy databases where they are properly qualified and prove that they are able to perform.

Some services have their own warehouses and fulfillment centers; some collect information from marketplaces.
