How to Start Dropshipping in Facebook Marketplace
Here is to give you an overview of what Facebook Dropshipping is all about.
Dropshipping is an e-Commerce business retail fulfillment method wherein an online store does not keep the products in stock or no physical inventory. Instead, when a store sells a product using the dropshipping model, it purchases the item from a third party supplier. The supplier then ships the product directly to the customer. The seller doesn’t have to handle the actual product without managing an inventory.
