Definitions 

  • Brand e-commerce (click and collect) - Customers use the “add to cart” button on trekbikes.com to order products from Trek's warehouse. If the customer ordered a bike, it will then be shipped to the dealer of the customer’s choice. That dealer will build and deliver the bike (if applicable) and receive a commission from Trek for the products. These transactions do NOT connect directly with Ascend.  Visit Trek eCommerce Integration (non-Locally) to see how to record them in your Ascend system.
  • Locally - Locally shares a dealers’ available in-store inventory to consumers. With Locally, the customer is transacting directly with the dealer, even when the order starts on trekbikes.com
