D / DROP SHIPPING

Stores that don't keep their products in stock use this fulfillment method. In its place, a store purchases products from third parties and ships them directly to customers. This means the merchant is never in direct contact with the product

An online retailer that uses drop shipping doesn't keep a stock of the items it sells. Dropshipping retailers buy their products directly from third parties (a manufacturer, wholesaler, or another retailer), who then ship the goods directly to customers.

Therefore, if your business uses drop shipping, you act as a storefront through which your customers can order products. As soon as the consumer places an order, you charge them, and the drop shipper charges you. You do not handle the products directly.
