Ikea developed and maintained its “Click & Collect” concept
during the
lockdown
in spring and during the entire

This option is also possible for customers in the

branch in

proven itself
during the

With the
Ikea
“Click & Collect” concept, customers choose their desired goods online and order them.
After the goods have been paid for by credit card or PayPal, an appointment is made to pick them up at an Ikea branch.
The Ikea employees put together the ordered items and prepare everything so that customers can pick up their orders in front of the store and take them home with them without contact.
