Dropshipping is a business model primarily used by e-commerce retailers that do not stock the inventory themselves. It is a fulfillment method where a retailer receives orders for products listed on the shop front, which are then forwarded to the supplier for shipping.

Dropshipping is a fulfillment method where you, as a store owner, don't keep the products you're selling in stock. Instead, when a customer makes a purchase from your online store, you forward the order to a third-party supplier. This supplier then ships the product directly to the customer.

A dropshipper is an individual or company that sells products online without actually having them in stock. Instead of keeping a warehouse full of items, they buy the product from a third party whenever a customer orders it. This third party also takes care of shipping the item directly to the customer.

When a drop-shipping retailer sells a product, it purchases the item directly from a third party (a manufacturer, wholesaler, or another retailer) that ships the product directly to a customer.
