What is Dropshipping? Drop shipping looks easy in appearance. All you need to do is set up your own online store and connect with suppliers, who will take orders from you and send them to your customers. This method is different from e-commerce and online shopping. If you are not familiar with this method read this 12 awesome tips from ecommerce experts. In short, this method is designed so that you do not need to warehouse yourself and do not have to worry about shipping costs or supply chain costs. Whereas, in the e-commerce method you need to maintain your inventory for fulfilling the orders. You buy the goods and products needed from the supplier (at this stage you have to pay the supplier), the customer pays for the product, you send the product to the customer. It would shed light on the fact that dropshipping is less up front cash method for your start-up companies or a business which would expand its border and add some new products. In the dropshipping method, the customer pays for the product, after you receive the money from the customer, you pay the supplier to place the order, the supplier delivers the final product directly to the customer. On the other hand, the traditional e-commerce fulfillment would need more up-front cash, but at the same time, you would bring more profit to your business and have more control over your productions.
