Not all e-commerce platforms require large investments. Here are some that allow free or trial-based dropshipping:

• WooCommerce: 100% free WordPress plugin—just pay for hosting later.
• Big Cartel: Free plan for up to 5 products.
• Shopify (Free Trial): Offers a 3-day trial; great for quick setup.
• Ecwid: Provides a free plan with basic store features.
• Facebook & Instagram Shops: Free to list and sell directly through social media.
  By combining these with suppliers like AliExpress or Spocket, you can start selling immediately. As orders come in, you’ll only pay for products that customers buy. It’s a smart way to test ideas before investing real money.
