What is Dropshipping?

What is  Dropshipping?

 is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a customer places an order, the item is purchased by the store from a third party—typically a manufacturer or wholesaler—and shipped directly to the customer. Here's how it works:

 1. A customer orders something from your online store. 

2. The order is sent to your supplier by you. 

3. The product is delivered directly to the customer by the supplier. Key Advantages:

 Low startup costs: No need to invest in inventory.

 There's no need for storage. Numerous product choices without having to handle physical goods. Downsides:

 Lower profit margins compared to holding your own inventory.

 Less control over product quality and shipping times.

 High competition, especially in popular niches.
