Abstract

This present research seeks to determine the performance of dropshipper on Bukalapak.com and Tokopedia.com sites viewed from the sharia perspective. This research deployed the qualitative method using the fiqh muamalah point of view. The approach was selected to enable the researchers to investigate dropshipper behavior and the case from Islamic law. The results of this research show that the existence of Tokopedia.com and Bukalapak.com is very obliging as it eases the way people carry out transactions, provides security in online transactions, and dropshipping model used by the two platforms is a solution for those who want to open a business with less capital. However, the dropshipper must also understand the types of transaction models to avoid the prohibited transaction. Items sold through the system must not change either in size, shape, or nature, and the dropshipper must be a guarantor when complaints arose. If all criteria are fulfilled, the business system is deemed relevant and appropriate to develop viewed from sharia perspective.
