Shopify Adds New Multi-Location Inventory Capabilities: What it Means for Your Business
Over the last 10 years we’ve had countless conversations with merchants, especially multi-store retailers, who are surprised to learn that their eCommerce platform is incapable of displaying inventory by store. Facing large competitors that do have this capability, this oversight is extremely disappointing. Without it, merchants are unable to route web orders to the closest store for fulfillment or allow customers to pick up in store. It also hinders them from shipping product from 3PL locations or even suppliers that are closer to the buyer.
In all cases, these merchants have had few choices other than to spend a small fortune customizing their shopper experience or implementing a third-party order management system (that’s often overkill for their relatively simple requirements, and that may still not make their store data visible to eCommerce shoppers).
Realizing this challenge for retailers, Shopify recently announced that they’re adding new capabilities to track inventory updates and fulfillments across multiple locations.
This is big news! We’re pretty excited about it over here at nChannel and what it means for merchants, whether you’re already using Shopify or not. (more…)
