    No, they are not the same. They are similar in the fact that a 3rd party satisfies your sales. However, with dropshipping the buyer sees YOU as the vendor. With affiliate sales the buyer sees the retailer as the vendor.

    The result? With dropshipping you are the face to the public. They do not know your source, and you are their retailer. You handle all customer service.

    With affiliate sales you simply refer someone to a retailer. The retailer is the face to the public and the retailer is responsible for customer care.

    Dropshipping -> Customer orders from YOU -> You get paid. -> You order from DROPSHIPPER -> Dropshipper sends product to CUSTOMER.

    Affiliate Sales -> You refer customer to RETAILER -> Customer orders from retailer -> You get PAID.
