A customer order is a way for customers to order an item and collect it at a store of their choice or have the item delivered to their address.
A customer order is also a way for the retailer to sell items that are out of stock in a store but available in another store, in a warehouse, or available to order from vendor.
The customer can order the item(s) from wherever it suits him or her, that is in the store, using eCommerce, or with the Loyalty app.
The The Customer Order Process articles focus on ordering with the Loyalty app or with eCommerce, while the POS Functionality articles focus on ordering directly at the POS. The orders, regardless of how they are created, will be collected or shipped through the same processes.
