Why use dropshipping or print on demand apps?

Dropshipping: You sell products without holding inventory. When a customer orders, the supplier ships the product directly to them.
Print on demand (POD): You sell custom printed products (such as t-shirts, mugs, or phone cases) that are produced and shipped only after a customer places an order.

Both models allow you to launch and grow your store with minimal upfront costs and inventory risk.
