Cover all your bases

Ensure a smooth online-to-offline transition

To ensure a seamless online-to-offline transition, it is important to ensure that your data is completely consistent. Double-check if stock is available in both avenues, inventory is well-tracked, product information is properly displayed, and product images are correct. Most importantly, always make sure that prices are correct and consistent between both platforms.

Create community while offering convenience

In-Store Commerce can also help create a sense of community and camaraderie between merchants and customers. Consider hosting in-person events to encourage face-to-face interaction, while providing the convenience of In-Store Commerce for purchases.

Actively encourage users to shop via In-Store Commerce

Hiring or assigning promoters to educate consumers on how to use In-Store Commerce is a similar way to help them adopt the practice, as they did in the event. In the context of a physical store, you may simply train your current employees to prioritize In-Store Commerce purchases. Online, you can also encourage users to try making orders with In-Store Commerce.

Encourage customers to use In-Store Commerce for future purchases

Have a dedicated lane for Scan-to-Order pick-ups
