What is E-Shop?

About six months ago, FCA launched what is now known as E-Shop to help dealerships sell vehicles during the coronavirus pandemic. This premium one-stop platform was a success, increasing the percentage of monthly sales coming from internet leads by roughly 20 percent.
When you want to search for a new vehicle, you can easily reach E-Shop through various websites. Once on the platform, you can find your current car’s trade-in value, pricing information for new cars, and financial lending options. After you finalize the paperwork for a new vehicle online, some dealerships also give you the option of scheduling a home delivery to reduce in-person contact during the purchasing process.
What new features will E-Shop have?

FCA will be continuously adding new features to E-Shop to make shopping for a car online more convenient. Most recently, the automaker introduced online chatting, through which you can receive answers to your questions in real-time. By November, you will also be able to make a refundable reservation on different vehicles, using your PayPal account.
By December, E-Shop will give the option to schedule a test drive online. This means you will have the opportunity to try out a new car without wasting time in the showroom. Participating dealerships will also be able to add used and certified pre-owned vehicles to E-Shop, providing more models for you to view online.
