Anton Kraly is an American ecommerce entrepreneur and the founder of Drop Ship Lifestyle, an online training program that teaches high-ticket dropshipping: selling expensive products through niche Shopify stores that ship directly from suppliers. In a November 2017 interview on Mixergy he said he was 33 years old and from Long Island, New York. The footer of the Drop Ship Lifestyle site lists the business in Austin, Texas.
According to his own account on the Drop Ship Lifestyle About page and in the Mixergy interview, he graduated from college in 2006, launched his first online store in 2007 (a bakery shop, New York Cookie Shop), and later built a network of niche home goods stores that he said he sold in 2011. The sales figures he gives for those stores ($680,000 in the first year, $1.2 million in the second, $1.8 million in the third) are self-reported, and no independent source for them has been located. The start date of the program also varies across his own material: the About page says Drop Ship Lifestyle was founded in 2012, while the homepage refers to experience "since 2008".
He publishes on the YouTube channel "Anton Kraly - Drop Ship Lifestyle" (@dropshiplifestyle), which had 118,000 subscribers and 545 videos when read on September 14, 2026, and on the Instagram account @dropshiplifestyle, which showed 146,000 followers the same day. The brand also has the Drop Ship Lifestyle Podcast on Spotify. He has been interviewed on business podcasts such as Mixergy (2017) and Marketer of the Day with Robert Plank.
The paid offer is listed on the official courses page, read on September 14, 2026, in three packages. DSL X ($3,997) is the core program: seven training modules covering niche selection, market research, store setup, supplier approval, conversion optimization, traffic and scaling, plus a 21-day launch plan, niche verification with Anton Kraly, a Discord community, email support and lifetime access. DSL XA ($3,997) is an advanced program on supplier strategy, conversion optimization, Microsoft and Meta ads, influencer and email marketing, automation and branding. The Ultimate Package ($9,997) combines both and adds a custom-built Shopify store, done-for-you content marketing, one-on-one private coaching, launch support and mastermind access. The site also funnels prospects through a free webinar and a free niche list. The terms and conditions describe a 30-day action-based money-back guarantee that requires proof of having selected a niche, contacted at least 20 suppliers and built a working store; coaching and delivered services are excluded.
Membership figures come only from his own site and are not consistent between pages: the homepage mentions more than 4,000 members in the private community, while the About page mentions more than 10,000 members in 30 countries. The site also states that Shopify named Drop Ship Lifestyle the best ecommerce course; the original Shopify publication was not checked for this profile. No FTC action under the name Anton Kraly or Drop Ship Lifestyle was found in a search restricted to ftc.gov on September 14, 2026. The legal entity that operates Drop Ship Lifestyle is not named in its terms and conditions, and it could not be confirmed in a state business registry for this profile.
