How it works in practice

Illustration. Your team picks and packs storefront orders
Where it helps the owner
Beyond messages
Example: send a product link instead of rewriting order details. Compare handling time.
For an existing shop
Example: a customer orders before visiting. Your team checks stock and prepares pickup; inventory needs setup.
Direct-order economics
Example: revenue minus stock cost, acquisition, payment fees, delivery and handling. Avoiding a marketplace fee does not make a direct channel free.
Example situations. Measure time and costs with your own operations.
Budget for the whole direct order
