Dropshipping allows you to operate an internet store without keeping inventory. You market the products as if you own them, but when someone orders, you replicate the order with the company at a lower price. Whereas affiliate marketing is  When a customer purchases using an affiliate link, the affiliate does not have to handle any money because the buyer is directed directly to the merchant's site to complete the transaction.
