What Is Dropshipping?<\/h2>\n

Dropshipping<\/span> is a retail fulfillment method where you sell products online without holding inventory. When a customer places an order, you forward it to your supplier, and the supplier ships the product directly to the customer. You earn the difference between what the customer pays and what you pay the supplier (minus your marketing and operating costs).<\/p>\n
