What is 'ship from store'?
Ship from store is a shipping model where retailers use inventory held in physical stores to fulfil orders from their eCommerce channels (like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and more).
Basically, when a customer places an order through an online store, that order is sent to the store that’s closest to the customer and fulfilled there instead of a central warehouse. This means less lead time and – potentially – lower transportation costs.
Why ship from your store?
Reduce freight costs
Ship from store is a great way to combat freight costs if you have a network of stores, but don’t have multiple fulfilment centres
Improve inventory turnover
Fulfilling online orders using retail stock means higher inventory turnover (less ageing stock).
Increase delivery speed
Ship from store is a great way to improve your delivery speed and achieve faster delivery timeframes (like same-day delivery).
Sustainability with shorter distances
If you have a store network, chances are the delivery distances will be much lower when you’re able to fulfil orders with local stock.
Reduce cart abandonment
Free (and faster) shipping can have a big impact on reducing cart abandonment. Using the ship from store model can help you meet these timeframes.
Reduce the impact of warehouse issues
With your retail stores able to service online orders, any problems with your main warehouse become far less of a concern.
