What is Dropshipping? 

Dropshipping is a retail fulfilment technique where a website business does not maintain inventory of the goods it sells. Instead, the store acquires the item from a third-party seller, like My Easy Monogram, when a consumer places an order on the store's website. Without the retailer having to worry about managing inventory or shipping logistics, the supplier then creates the goods at their location and distributes it directly to the buyer under the merchant's name.
