Stationary trading is trading from a fixed location (business premises, sales outlet, shop, trading company) that the customer visits in order to get to the goods (pick-up principle). So this includes:

• store sales to consumers (retail)
• store sales to retailers and other commercial buyers ( wholesale ).

The non-stationary trade includes outpatient trade , door-to-door sales , market trade , mail order and online trade . Depending on whether the retailer brings the goods to the customer or whether the goods are exchanged at a third location, one speaks of the bring principle or the meeting principle. Since many retail companies are active in both stationary and non-stationary business, the focus principle plays a role in their statistical recording and allocation. According to this, brick-and-mortar retail is only operated by those who exclusively or predominantly organize retail from a fixed location.
