There are several issues in the E-Commerce business related to product stocking. Lots of space and money are needed for stocking the product, that’s a very big problem.

As of now in the market, many suppliers sell their products offline as well as online. Suppliers hold products in a good amount of quantity in their warehouses.

Dropship allows you to sell products without holding the inventory in hand. You need to find a Dropship supplier that will hold the quantity on your behalf.

When you receive an order, you will forward it to the supplier, and the supplier will fulfill this order and ship it directly to the customer.
