Dropshipping
Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item directly from a third party (usually a wholesaler or manufacturer) who ships it directly to the customer. This means the seller never handles the product themselves. Dropshipping allows entrepreneurs to set up an online store without the need for large inventory investments, but it also involves relying heavily on suppliers for product quality and timely delivery.
