Dropshipping is an order fulfillment method where a retailer doesn't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, the seller purchases inventory as needed from a third party to fulfill orders.
With dropshipping the retailer does not have up front inventory costs or need to deal with shipping logistics. With dropshipping, products are sent directly from your supplier to your customers. Here's how it works:1. Your customer places an order from your Shopify store
2. Your store automatically sends the order to your dropshipping supplier
3. Your dropshipping supplier prepares your customer's order
4. Your supplier ships the order directly to your customer and they can track it all the way to their doorstep
