1. What is Online to Offline (O2O) Linkage?
Online to Offline (O2O) linkage is a hybrid commerce model that integrates digital shopping platforms with physical stores. It allows customers to discover, browse, and order products online while fulfilling orders via nearby offline stores, creating a seamless, efficient shopping experience.
2. Why O2O Matters in India’s Retail Landscape
India’s retail ecosystem is predominantly unorganized, with millions of small local shops and kirana stores. While e-commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart dominate online sales, many offline retailers struggle to digitize. O2O linkage empowers these offline stores by connecting them to the digital marketplace, thus expanding their reach and customer base.
3. Challenges Faced by Offline Retailers Without O2O
- Limited online visibility
- No integration between in-store inventory and online orders
