Do you guys think it is worth it to learn development on the platform to provide a service to merchants, or would my time be better spent learning things from a merchant perspective?

I used to spend hours a week packaging orders, and even tracking inventory, placing inventory orders but I just actually spend the past two weeks setting it up so all of my products are dropshipped from US suppliers. I get a 12- 20% cut on average from the retail sale but its awesome for not needing to lift a finger. An order comes in, sends the info to the owner of the product, and they ship it out from a US warehouse within 1-3 days. No more packaging from my end and no more dropshipping from china where customers will request refunds because they havent gotten any product within 2-3 weeks from when they placed the order. I used Shopify Collective to get these products automatically added to my store based on which vendors i approved (i literally didnt even spend 1 hour to get 10,000 products on my store all related to the video game niche. You can do this too. Are any of you interested in learning how to do this? If not, what other questions do you have that I can help you solve?

Has been a while I have been in this community, and planning to get more active and provide better value too. So what are y'all doing, is everyone building their stores or in the services space? What are you challenges, maybe some other community members could help too.
