Key Benefits

Why electronics brands choose VTEX

With a 70.19% average cart abandonment rate in online shopping, checkout friction is the single biggest revenue leak. VTEX SmartCheckout delivers up to 50% reduction in checkout time with a password-free, one-click-to-buy experience — PCI DSS certified. Average 25% growth in conversion rate. Support split payment (multiple payment methods per order) and split fulfillment (ship from multiple locations in one order).

Electronics face unique shipping challenges: specific costs and delivery ranges for large items, the need for scheduled delivery windows, and multi-location fulfillment. VTEX enables smart routing with rules-based order routing, ship from store to transform physical locations into distribution centers, pick-up in store for click & collect, and split orders across fulfillment locations — all with flexible delivery modals and scheduled delivery options.

Remove purchase objections by enabling trade-in programs where customers can exchange old devices for credit toward new purchases. Streamline the returns process with dedicated returns apps and pick & pack workflows. Combined with franchise account management and Sales App capabilities, create a unified experience that bridges online trade-in initiation with in-store completion.

Electronics brands struggle with lack of independence from distributors and fragmented inventory across channels. VTEX provides real-time inventory visibility across all sales channels — online marketplaces, physical stores, and direct channels. Use the Seller Portal for channel management, franchise accounts for white-label store operations, and marketplace capabilities to collaborate with partners while maintaining control over pricing, inventory, and customer experience.

Industry-Specific Architecture

Two models to scale your retail operations

Whitelabel Stores Architecture

Whitelabel Stores for Franchisees

Multiple VTEX Main Accounts, one per franchisee, each with its own VTEX instance (CMS, Catalog, Prices, etc.). This allows for independent management while connecting to a shared ecosystem of marketplaces, mobile app, VTEX Apps, a Payment Provider, and the Merchant BackOffice via Middleware.

Single Account Architecture

Single Account with Pick-up Points

Single VTEX Main Account with Logistics & Pick Up module replacing the multi-store model. Same full platform capabilities (Promotions, Master Data, CMS, Intelligent Search, Checkout, Catalog, Inventory, Prices, OMS, CRM) but centralized. Connects to the same external ecosystem: marketplaces, mobile app, VTEX Apps, Payment Provider, and Merchant BackOffice via Middleware.
