in-store shopping

Physical retail experience

In-store shopping is the act of purchasing goods at a physical retail location rather than online.

The term emerged as e-commerce grew and retailers needed to distinguish between digital and brick-and-mortar transactions: In-store shopping offers the advantage of seeing products before you buy.

The phrase often appears in discussions of consumer behavior and retail strategy.
