With the resounding success of dropshipping platforms, you might be thinking about getting started too. With your PrestaShop installation, you can also get started in dropshipping as explained in the rest of this article.
What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a sales model where the merchant is not the sender of the product. He is responsible only for its promotion and sale.
The actors involved in the sales process are: the supplier, the reseller, the customer. First, the reseller sets the price and promotes the product, usually from their website to get customers. When a customer orders the product and pays for it, the reseller gets their profit and then pays the supplier. The shipping process differs from a normal sale here, that is to say that the supplier is the responsible for shipping the product.
