Dropshipping is a sales model through which an online seller sells a product to an end user, without physically owning it and without having any risks on the goods, relying on a dropshipping supplier who owns the goods and takes care of the shipments.
The dropshipping seller will therefore not have to worry about inventory management or shipping, but will transmit the orders to a dropshipper supplier who manages all the inventory and logistics.
It is in fields such as designer fashion that the dropshipping trend is recording ever higher numbers. In Italy, more than 50 million users access the internet every day and in 2020 alone 70% of national consumers (between 18 and 65 years old) made at least one purchase on the internet.
