How does dropshipping work?

With the aid of the order fulfillment technique known as dropshipping, e-commerce businesses delegate the sourcing, warehousing, and delivery of the products to a third party, typically a supplier, and ship the products to the customer.

The following steps summarize the dropshipping business model:

Customer orders online
Seller receives order
The seller must send a request for fulfillment
Place the order on or via Dropshipman
The order shipped to the customer
The customer received the order
