2. Services Provided

DropStore provides digital business services, including but not limited to:

  • Ready-made Shopify stores preloaded with winning products

  • Online training through DropStore Academy

  • Business setup assistance and one-on-one support

We do not sell a “get rich quick” program or guarantee income. Our services are designed to help customers start and learn how to operate an online dropshipping business.

3. Eligibility

To purchase from DropStore, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old, or have parental/guardian consent

  • Provide accurate personal and payment information

4. Payment & Pricing

All prices on dropstoresa.co.za are listed in South African Rand (ZAR) unless otherwise stated.
Payments are securely processed via Yoco

DropStore does not store or have direct access to your payment card details.

We reserve the right to change prices, promotions, or offers at any time without prior notice. However, the price confirmed at checkout is final for that transaction.

5. Delivery of Services

All DropStore products are digital services.
Once payment is confirmed, your ready-made store will be delivered via email, typically within 24 to 48 hours, depending on order volume.

Your DropStore Academy course access will also be emailed upon completion of setup.

Because of the nature of digital services, delivery timelines may vary slightly, but we always strive to meet our standard delivery window.

6. Refund Policy

Due to the digital and customized nature of our products, all sales are final and non-refundable once a store has been built or course access has been issued.

Refunds are only applicable if:

  • You were charged more than once for the same order, or

  • We are unable to deliver your store within 7 business days after purchase.

Refund requests must be made in writing to sa.dropstore@gmail.com within 7 days of your purchase.

7. Store Niches & Availability

All store niches and designs are subject to availability.
If a selected niche or style is out of stock, DropStore reserves the right to substitute it with a similar store of equal or greater value.

Our goal is to ensure every customer receives a functional and high-quality Shopify store, even if substitutions are required.

8. No Guarantees or Earnings Claims

DropStore does not guarantee profits, sales, or business success.
Results depend entirely on your effort, advertising strategy, and market conditions.

We provide the tools, training, and support to help you start — but your outcomes will vary.
By purchasing, you acknowledge that success requires consistent effort, marketing, and investment.

17. Upon Receiving Your Store

STORE IMAGERY AND BRAND VISUALS

Upon delivery of your completed Shopify 
store all placeholder and default images 
provided are for structural and layout 
purposes only.

It is the sole responsibility of the 
customer to source, create and upload 
their own custom brand imagery including 
but not limited to:

— Hero banner images
— Product lifestyle photography
— Brand logos and graphics
— Collection images
— About page visuals
— Any other store imagery

Drop Store ZA does not create, design 
or source custom brand images on behalf 
of customers as part of any package.

This is intentional. Each store we build 
is unique to the brand you are building 
and your imagery must reflect that brand 
authentically. Generic or stock imagery 
that does not represent your brand 
directly can negatively impact your 
store's conversion rate and brand identity.

Drop Store ZA accepts no responsibility 
for any impact on store performance 
resulting from the customer's choice 
of imagery or failure to update 
placeholder visuals after store delivery.

Course material is provided inside 
our Discord community to assist 
customers in creating effective 
brand visuals independently.
