One product store
One product store is simply the one which sells only one product. The whole marketing strategy and design are focused on just one item. Such a store may show relatively high results in comparison with niche and general stores. Let's look at its pros and cons.

Pros
Cons
One product store is a nice option for you if you:
- Relatively high conversion rate as the potential customers' attention is placed on one product in contrast with general or niche stores;
- You may present your store as a brand which gives your store more loyalty;
- You do not need to search for more goods, so you reduce the effort required to import them. You focus mostly on marketing and financial sides;
- Your target is a narrow group of customers, which helps you warm up your Facebook pixel much faster to boost your sales. It will significantly reduce advertising costs;
- You get simplified analytics as you get feedback and statistics concerning only one product you offer;
- You can increase sales with an updated version of the product or complementary products.
Cons
- To make good results you have to thoroughly test the item beforehand in a niche or general-store. It is also irrational to create multiple one product stores, as it takes more time and effort to launch and control them;
- If you choose the wrong product, such store is less likely to recoup the costs of opening and maintaining expenses in the long run;
- There is a high risk of losing your business when the product becomes saturated.
One product store is a nice option for you if you:
- Already have dropshipping experience;
- Are good at selecting profitable products and can identify bestsellers;
- Are absolutely confident in the potential of a particular product.

General store
General Dropshipping Store is the one with a huge variety of goods which do not belong to a particular niche. The main benefit of such stores is that you can test various products, identify top and worst selling items, and then create a one product store or sell only those items that give you high profit. Stores having multiple products have a long term potential.

Pros
Cons
General store is a nice option for you if you:
- Opportunity to test products that belong to several different niches. You may also test several niches simultaneously;
- Opportunity to deliver all the products from the United States (in case of selling a low quantity of different products, up to 20);
- General stores are more stable than one product stores. When some products become too saturated, you easily import new ones without major adjustments on the website.
Cons
- Relatively low conversion rate. When a customer sees products that have nothing in common, he/she is less likely to trust the store. To avoid it, we recommend designing the product page so that a customer has a minimum chance to switch to other products or pages. We also suggest that you do not add upsell on the product page;
- You need to constantly monitor, analyze and change the products on sale;
- When you simultaneously test products for different audiences, Facebook pixel is not optimized properly, which affects the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;
- It is difficult to choose the right marketing strategy;
- Finding the field to focus on is hard;
- It is also complicated to brand general stores.
General store is a nice option for you if you:
- Haven't chosen a particular niche and want to test various products to find a winning one;
- Want to test the product and determine its potential quickly;
- Are a beginner in dropshipping business.
