Dropshipping is an online selling business model where you sell products without keeping stock.
Dropshipping is a low-risk, inventory-free ecommerce model where you sell products listed on your website, but a third-party supplier handles storage, packaging, and shipping directly to the customer. You act as the storefront, keeping the difference between the customer price and wholesale cost as profit.
