STEP 5 aanother option : CLICK AND COLLECT
What is click-and-collect?
The click-and-collect service consists of making an online purchase and picking it up at a physical store or agreed pick-up point. It can be free of charge or involve an extra fee.
Another related modality that has become fashionable in the last year is curbside pickup, i.e., online purchase and delivery of the purchase at the box office, the store's parking lot or on the buyer's residential street.
Offering in-store returns or curbside pickup is also a common addition to this mode, which is very attractive to reluctant shoppers.
The popularity of click-and-collect in recent months is due to the fact that it avoids physical contact with couriers and is often a free or cheaper option compared to the home delivery charges common in most ecommerce.
While until last year offering click-and-collect was a secondary option for most online stores, today it has become a must-have. According to Adobe Analytics, in April 2020 the use of click-and-collect grew by 208%, and in countries such as the UK click & collect orders are expected to double by 2025.
