Dropshipping is when a store owner or retailer sells products without having an inventory of their own or a distribution center to store and ship their items.
Where are the products then, you may ask? Well, they come from a supplier or a manufacturer, who is also the one who ships those items directly to the customer.
In other words, we can say when dropshipping you actually sell products only by posting beautiful images on your online stores, but the suppliers are the ones who actually fulfill the orders.
