It has been years since eCommerce first came into existence. In fact, if you compare then and now, we literally cannot survive without an eCommerce marketplace and its benefits. Further, it has changed our lives for the better. Then came the Hyperlocal Delivery Business Model. The concept of the Hyperlocal multi-vendor marketplace for Prestashop is to deliver products to customers faster. Well, there’s a whole concept behind it different than the eCommerce model.
In fact, that’s what we’ll be looking at in this blog. We will look at the differences between the eCommerce marketplace setup and the k. So, go on and take a look at the differences between the PrestaShop Hyperlocal Marketplace and eCommerce marketplace.
The concept
You might say that the concepts of both kinds are similar. After all, when you look at it – is all about placing an order and delivering the products. Further, if you take a closer look, you would notice the difference. The Prestashop Hyperlocal E-commerce Business allows the admin to create a marketplace with sellers from a close-knit location. Furthermore, deliver to customers of the same locality. On the contrary, an online marketplace features sellers from every part of the location/country. Hence, they deliver with no boundaries. Thus, the concept might look alike but are very different from each other.
Delivery time
The entire concept of the Prestashop Hyperlocal Delivery Marketplace is to deliver the products to the customers within a limited span of time. For instance, Uber delivers its services within minutes. Likewise, BB Daily delivers products the next day. These are two of the many other examples of the Prestashop Hyperlocal Service Marketplace. On the other hand, an online marketplace works by a proper method. However, the delivery time lies between next-day delivery to almost a week (including the business days). Hence, the delivery time is different in both concepts.
The shipping areas
With the Prestashop Hyperlocal Delivery Business Model, the sellers are supposed to sell their products in a defined area. However, in the least case scenario, they can charge an extra amount from the customers to deliver outside the defined area. On the contrary, the sellers can add various methods of shipping for their customers. Further, this happens after the approval of the admin. In fact, they can deliver anywhere regardless of any restrictions. Thus, that makes another difference.
Conclusion
From the outlook, the online marketplace and the Prestashop Hyperlocal Marketplace look similar because the intention is the same. Further, to provide customers with the products that they need, for generating more sales & revenues. However, the working pattern, delivery time, concept, and more are very different from each other.
