drop shipping

**drop shipping**

Drop shipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party-usually a wholesaler or manufacturer-and has it shipped directly to the customer. This model reduces the need for inventory management and upfront investment, making it a popular choice for e-commerce entrepreneurs. Drop shipping allows businesses to offer a wide range of products without the risks and costs associated with holding inventory.
