Consignment
Dropshipping
1. Wholesale
The main characteristic of wholesale sales is the marketing of products in larger quantities and, because they are purchased in larger volumes, they come out at a lower price.

In this modality, it is not possible to buy a single piece, for example, as occurs in Retail, as it is necessary to reach a minimum number of items stipulated by the supplier.

This will imply a greater investment to complete purchases with this type of supplier.

For this reason, this type of supplier is most sought after by microentrepreneurs (MEIs), companies (legal entities) and retailers who need to obtain cheaper products to make a profit from resale.
