What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a business model where you sell products without holding inventory. When a customer places an order, you purchase the item from a third-party supplier who ships it directly to the customer.
This eliminates the need for inventory management, warehousing, and fulfillment—making it one of the easiest ways to start an eCommerce business.
