1 What Is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping definition
Dropshipping is a business model where the seller doesn't keep

the products in stock but instead transfers the customer orders
and shipment details to the manufacturer, wholesaler, or
another retailer who then ships the product directly to the
customer. The dropshipper acts as a reseller, setting the prices
and promoting the products, but doesn't handle the inventory
or physical shipping of the products. This allows the
dropshipper to save on inventory costs and focus on marketing
and customer service.
