This article explains the dropshipping business model and how Gelato facilitates this model for ecommerce businesses.
What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is an ecommerce business model where you sell products through your online store without managing inventory or order fulfillment. Instead, a separate supplier handles these aspects. Here's how it works:
A customer purchases a product from your online store.
The order is automatically sent to your dropshipping supplier.
The supplier then ships the product directly to the customer.
This model eliminates the need for you to store inventory, pack orders, or deal with shipping logistics.
