The manufacturer or retailer then ships the merchandise directly to the customer. Dropshipping is a type of retail fulfillment model that does not require the store to maintain an inventory of products.

It also ensures a smooth delivery of goods to consumers. Dropshipping helps businesses save money based on warehouse rental, insurance, inventory, and other costs. Plus, you can reach your customers regardless of location, without the need to build an offline store. Several large corporations are using the Dropshipping platform to boost their business and increase their commercial efforts with less investment.
