Hi @Emirercn,
If you’ve ever been interested in starting your own online business, you might have heard the term “dropshipping” thrown around. It is a business model in which online sellers, also known as dropshippers, act as intermediaries between customers and suppliers. Unlike traditional retail businesses, dropshippers do not hold or stock inventory. Instead, they use a third-party app like Zopi to place sales orders with suppliers who handle the storage, packaging, and shipment of products directly to the end customers. The profit margin comes from the difference between the supplier’s price and the seller’s price.
This allows you to upload as many products as you want to sell without any upfront payment. You only need to make a payment when you receive an order, and you don’t have to handle the products directly.

If you're selling products that you don't own or stock, it sounds like you're describing dropshipping. In dropshipping, you act as the seller, but you don't handle the inventory. Instead, when a customer places an order on your Shopify store, the product is shipped directly from your supplier to the customer. Here’s how it works,
1) Customer Places an Order
2) You Forward the Order to the Supplier
3) Supplier Ships the Product
4) You Earn a Profit
Key Points: Many Shopify apps allow you to automate most of this process, from syncing products from the supplier to fulfilling orders when they come in.
