Should I focus on domestic US shipping or international as a new store?

Asked 5 years ago

Hi, I’m about to start my first store, not dropship, not pod, I will ship the product. Does it make sense to choose only US market and no international shipping or both? I would like to aim free shipping option, but if I build in the international shipping fee, firstly the product price is going to be much higher secondly: I need to increase for US customers as well.

I would suggest gathering a minimum of 6 months of experience selling in the US first. Choose the easier option and excel your services in every aspect. It will give you an insight into what works and what doesn't. Eventually, you'll learn how to craft a bigger picture - the international market.
