What is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a method of supply chain management in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer.
Thus, the retailer never sees or handles the product.
