What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where you don't keep products in stock. Instead, when you sell a product, you purchase it from a third party and have it shipped directly to the customer.

The Simple Definition

Dropshipping is like being a middleman between customers and suppliers. You market and sell products online, but you never actually handle the physical inventory. When someone buys from you, you simply forward the order to your supplier, who ships it directly to your customer.

You Own the Store

You create and manage your online store, handle marketing, and interact with customers.

Supplier Handles Fulfillment

Your supplier stores inventory, processes orders, and ships products directly to customers.

You Keep the Profit

The difference between what customers pay you and what you pay suppliers is your profit.

Traditional vs Dropshipping

Buy inventory upfront ($10K-$50K+)

Pack and ship every order
