Platform-specific problem
DTC brands need more control than generic dropshipping without committing too early to large inventory.
Shopify & DTC supply-chain support
Source, brand, test from China, and move winners to local inventory.
Recommended operating model
Use Yiwu sourcing and China fulfillment to test SKUs, then move proven products into local stock when demand justifies it.
China-direct vs local-stock decision
