What does the dropshipping business entail?

Dropshipping is an e-commerce retail model where a store sells products without holding inventory. In her other videos on Instagram, she explains how to do this and teaches people to do the same.

She explained that when a sale occurs, the merchant purchases the item from a third-party supplier who then ships it directly to the customer."
