The Amazon service was announced at the Amazon Accelerate conference on October 21 and is currently available to select sellers who can deliver products to customers’ homes within local delivery areas or offer Buy Online, Pickup in Store (BOPIS) at their retail stores or warehouses.

ChannelAdvisor’s new solution helps sellers participating in Amazon Local Selling to manage the in-store pickup experience, including their store setup, store-level inventory, and order status updates (“ready-for-pickup” and “picked up”).

The in-store pickup service complements the existing solutions ChannelAdvisor provides to sellers who use Amazon services.

“Online shoppers have grown accustomed to the convenience and speed of in-store pickup. Our solution helps sellers in Amazon Local Selling provide the in-store pick-up options their customers are actively seeking. We’re thrilled to invite sellers to leverage ChannelAdvisor’s expanded support to help grow their businesses.”

Steve Frechette, vice president of product management at ChannelAdvisor
