What is Dropshipping? A Beginner’s Guide to Starting an Online Business.

What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where the store owner doesn’t keep products in stock. Instead, when a customer places an order, the store purchases the item from a third-party supplier — usually a wholesaler or manufacturer — who then ships it directly to the customer.

This means you, as the store owner, never have to handle the product physically. You simply act as the middleman between the buyer and the supplier.
