BOSS (buy-online-ship-to-store)

BAWSS

noun

Also known as buy-online-ship-to-store; a backend e-commerce process that allows items to be shipped directly from a warehouse, and then customers can pick them up in-store. This ensures that retailers will never be out of stock, while also reducing store footprint size and eliminating the need for third-party delivery services.
