In today’s fast-paced world of e-commerce, dropshipping has established itself as a key entry point for entrepreneurs across Latin America. This model offers the chance to run a business without handling physical inventory or logistics, making it an attractive option for new digital entrepreneurs. With platforms like Shopify, Tienda Nube, and Dropi, LATAM sellers can reach global audiences and access a vast supply chain. But there’s still one challenge that remains: managing international payments efficiently. This is where Airtm steps in, providing the financial agility and control dropshippers need.

Why is Dropshipping So Popular in LATAM?

Dropshipping simplifies the path to online sales, allowing sellers to act as intermediaries who market and manage orders while suppliers handle the rest. Key marketplaces such as AliExpress, Amazon, Shopify, Jumpseller, and Dropi power this model, enabling LATAM sellers to find, import, and promote products without inventory worries. Platforms like Dropi are particularly attractive, offering a comprehensive approach for LATAM-based sellers with features like turnkey product sourcing and automated fulfillment, making it easier than ever to grow a global customer base.

How Airtm Supports Dropshippers: Seamless Payment and Withdrawal Solutions

Managing payments effectively is critical for LATAM dropshippers to maximize profits. Airtm provides a full suite of solutions that allow entrepreneurs to streamline payments, convert currency, and access earnings at competitive rates. Here’s how Airtm makes this possible:

  1. Virtual USA Account for International Payments
    Airtm’s Virtual USA Account allows users to receive payments directly in USD from platforms like Shopify, Dropi, and AliExpress. This feature eliminates costly banking intermediaries, making it ideal for managing international transfers and securing better exchange rates.
  2. Receive Earnings from Global Sources
    By linking Airtm to platforms like Dropi and Shopify, dropshippers in LATAM can receive payments in USD without needing a U.S. bank account. This direct deposit option enables faster transfers with fewer fees and simplifies the currency conversion process.
  3. Currency Conversion with Airtm’s P2P Network
    Airtm’s extensive P2P network offers dropshippers the ability to convert their USD earnings into local currency at favorable rates. This flexibility is crucial in countries like Argentina and Bolivia, where exchange restrictions and inflation make holding USD essential.
  4. Withdrawals to Local Accounts or Digital Wallets
    After conversion, funds can be withdrawn from Airtm to over 500 local methods, including bank accounts and digital wallets such as MercadoPago, with an option for cash withdrawal at ATMs. This range of choices empowers LATAM dropshippers to manage their earnings seamlessly, without delays or excessive fees.

Integrated with Shopify, Dropi enables sellers to focus on marketing while it manages product sourcing, fulfillment, and even returns.
