What’s Dropshipping?

So what’s dropshipping?

A dropshipping business is a business model that allows one to sell products that he/she doesn’t own or stock.
This business model allows individuals to make money off products they don’t own as the products are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer without the seller ever handling them, thereby reducing the cost of keeping inventory.

Below is a virtual example to help you better understand it:

might just be from a dropshipping store where everything happens
magically behind the scenes!
