Scale with a team.
Grow into a brand.

Most sellers do not outgrow their product. They outgrow their supply chain. This is what DropshippingLite adds at each step, so you can plan the next one before you need it.

Payment terms

How credit review works.

We start every account on the same footing, then look at what you have built together.

01

Start prepaid

New accounts typically start with a modest prepaid balance that covers initial orders. No setup fees.

Day one
02

Build a record

Order volume, payment history and account tenure are what we look at when an account asks for more flexibility.

Over time
03

Apply for a review

Approved accounts receive a credit limit and more flexible payment scheduling. Your agent discusses the options with you.

When you are ready

Credit is reviewed case by case and is not guaranteed. The specific terms depend on your account.

Questions, answered

Before you move up.

Is there a minimum to get started?

Yes. To start working with us, we ask for at least 5 orders per day, or 5 orders per batch. Brand projects have their own minimum quantity per product, which depends on the product category and the level of customization.

How do I know when to move to the next step?

Look at what is slowing you down. If it is choosing products, sourcing help is the next step. If it is stock-outs or supplier delays, stock preparation and a dedicated agent help. If it is margin and differentiation, private label or OEM/ODM is the next step. Your agent can walk through your order history with you.

Do I have to leave one step to use another?

No. The steps are not locked plans. You can keep dropshipping orders running while you stock your best sellers or develop a private label product.

Can you negotiate with factories for me?

Private Agent clients get support with price, MOQ and payment-term discussions with factories. Results depend on the factory, the product and your order volume, so we do not promise specific terms.

Can established clients get credit terms?

Yes. After a period of successful collaboration, you can apply for a credit review. Approved clients receive a credit limit that allows more flexible payment scheduling. The specific terms depend on order volume, payment history and account tenure.

What does it cost to move up?

Starter and Professional are free to use. Private Agent and Brand work is quoted case by case. Tell us your products and order volume, and we will explain what each step involves.
