2. INTRODUCTION
❖ Dropshipping is an online sales management technique in which the supplier accepts
orders from customers, however they do not keep products in stock.
❖ Instead of keeping stock, they transfer business orders and shipment details to either the
dealer or manufacturer.
❖ This concept of selling products that you don't really own or keep stock is what is called
Dropshipping. In his dropshipping business model a separate online store or location can
be set up with mark up price but the products are not physically stored and at the time of
sale, they are directly transferred to the customer.
❖ This technique can be applied for the products which have more customer demands even
without keeping it in the inventory. Your organization can directly request your vendors to
deliver the products to your customers.
