Sell Beyond the Visit: A Shopify Kiosk for Out-of-Town Shoppers

High-traffic retail locations bring in travelers who love what they see but cannot carry it home. The result is lost revenue: they sample, they browse, and then they walk out. A Shopify kiosk turns that moment into a shipped order.

The traveler problem

Visitors are often traveling light. They might want coffee, pantry items, or a curated bundle, but they do not have room. When the only option is “buy it and carry it,” you lose the sale.

The kiosk as a ship-it-home bridge

A Shopify self-service ordering kiosk makes delivery the default path. Shoppers can browse your catalog, choose ship-to-home, and complete checkout in seconds. It is a natural extension of the in-store experience.

Protect the impulse

Tourists and business travelers are high-intent buyers in the moment. A Shopify self service/ordering kiosk turns that impulse into a paid order while they are still excited, instead of hoping they remember later.

Subscriptions make it stick

If the product is something people want again, offer a subscription option right in the kiosk flow. A visitor can subscribe for monthly deliveries and turn a one-time visit into ongoing revenue.

The Shop App advantage

Shop has 250M+ verified shoppers, and Shop Pay stores shipping and payment details for a two-tap checkout that can convert up to 50% higher. That speed matters when the buyer is in a hurry or navigating a new city.

Reengage even if they leave

If someone starts checkout and stops, the Shop app can help bring them back. Cart reminder push notifications can nudge shoppers who began checkout to finish the purchase. You can also publish store updates that reach followers with short posts about new arrivals, restocks, or limited-time offers.

Make delivery obvious

Add simple messaging on the kiosk: “Ship it home” or “Subscribe and save.” Highlight your most travel-friendly items first, and keep the delivery option visible at checkout.
