Enhance your buyers experience
Introducing BOPIS : Manage collection orders for both Shopify and Amazon in Linnworks.

- Update order status as Ready for Collection in Linnworks, which will mark the order as Ready for Pickup on Shopify and Amazon.
- Filter orders using the Collection identifier.
- Advertise your BOPIS locations’ inventory availability on the respective Shopify and Amazon stores.
