Sell store inventory online

Put Store Inventory to Work Online

Inventory sitting in your retail stores can support ecommerce demand without every store becoming a direct ecommerce fulfillment location. FC Collects makes selected store inventory available online, then routes it to your central fulfillment point when an order converts.
  • Use retail inventory for online orders across Shopify locations
  • No store is asked to pick, pack, and ship customer orders
  • Availability reflects only the inventory you enabled
  • Stock stays counted at the real store until it moves

What changes for your team

Stores keep selling

Minimum stock and last-unit protections help preserve inventory for in-store customers while selected inventory supports online demand.

Keep centralized fulfillment

Orders can continue shipping from your designated fulfillment location instead of turning every retail store into an ecommerce shipping operation.

Store tasks stay simple

For each enabled Virtual Inventory item, FC Collects allocates the required units and creates the auto transfer. Store teams prepare the transferred inventory rather than processing a direct customer shipment.

Inventory can come from more than one store

When enabled, FC Collects can source a shortage across multiple eligible locations when no single store has enough.

Exceptions have a home

When inventory cannot be sourced as expected, the order enters a shared exception workflow instead of disappearing into an operational gap.

Stores supply inventory. The designated fulfillment location ships the customer order.

Start with your opportunity

Before making additional store inventory available online, FC Collects can show you the eligible inventory that is not participating today — how many units, which locations, and which products and variants represent the opportunity.
Virtual Inventory Opportunity
Eligible inventory not currently participating and its potential retail value. Potential, not guaranteed or booked revenue.
Virtual Inventory Coverage
The percentage of eligible inventory value currently participating in Virtual Inventory. Coverage measures participation, not performance.
VIEV
Retail value of units already made sellable through Virtual Inventory.
Revenue Enabled
Actual merchandise sales generated through Virtual Inventory.
Top Revenue Enabled Products
Products generating the most actual Revenue Enabled through Virtual Inventory.

Potential, then enabled, then actual performance — reported separately, never combined.
