One counter-intuitive point
A dropshipping store exposes fewer product-editing tools than an online store. This is not an arbitrary limitation: its catalogue comes from a partner, so you choose among existing products instead of creating them. On an online store you create each product yourself, which needs more tools.
Limits
- The site type is chosen at creation and cannot be changed afterwards.
- A showcase website cannot sell. Selling requires creating a store.
