Dropshipping is when a retailer fulfills orders via a third-party supplier who ships products directly to the customer on their behalf. The retailer does not hold inventory of this product and typically the customer is unaware that their product was sourced differently than traditional inventory.

fabric Marketplace is an effective way to grow revenue for any business that sells a product. Most companies leverage dropship inventory to complement a traditional e-commerce model, but many companies have grown $100M+ businesses in under 15 months solely through dropship inventory.

Dropshipping enables a retailer to grow its revenue through low-risk and low-cost inventory. The time to market for dropship inventory is considerably faster than traditional inventory, which means greater flexibility and time-to-market. Dropshipping products can also be strategically leveraged for heavy and bulky products, reducing supply chain costs and resources. Retailers can expand their product assortment without the upfront investment of manufacturing and massive product orders.
