The pandemic has shifted the way customers shop online and in-store. Retailers and customers today are interacting with BOPIS (buy online, pick up in-store) model in to complete their purchases.
Retail businesses that adopt BOPIS model have the opportunity to provide a more integrated shopping experience for their customers. Today’s consumers look for convenience and speed in their buying choices, and as a retailer, it is highly important for you to fulfill these requirements.
BOPIS model allows consumers to select items online and add them to their carts. Once the purchase is complete, they can choose the retail store’s location to pick up their order. When the item is ready, the customer gets a notification. They can pick up their order by visiting the store or through the curb-side pickup option.
BOPIS model applies to retail stores that have a physical store (brick-and-mortar business) as well as an online shop.
A BOPIS model is not complete without communication between a business and the customer. When your customer shops online, they may have questions about your product or service.
