Whether it is Buy-Online-Pickup-In-Store (BOPIS), delivery or ship from a warehouse, when compared to traditional in-store purchases, digital journeys can incur a significant margin loss. This is due to the additional costs of fulfillment, whether it be packing, shipping, or storage. On average, retailers lose 3-8 margin points when consumers leverage one of these digital journeys to complete a purchase.
