Dropshipping

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment model where a store doesn't keep the products it sells online. Instead of keeping that product in stock, the store forwards the order to a supplier who then ships it directly to the customer. As a result, the store doesn't handle the product directly, avoiding the need for inventory storage or fulfillment logistics. Dropshipping allows businesses to focus on marketing and sales without the hassle of managing inventory, making it a popular model for online entrepreneurs and small businesses.
