Multichannel retail means selling through several channels, such as a webshop, physical store and marketplace. Channels may have their own assortment and settings.[1] The label does not establish that stock, customer information and service work together across them; that integration is the focus of omnichannel retail.
An additional channel can reach different shoppers but also requires offer, pricing and order management. Decide how much stock each channel may sell to avoid committing the same final item twice. Compare proceeds after channel costs instead of treating all additional channel revenue as additional profit.
