...German (detailhandel and Einzelhandel respectively), also refers to the sale of small quantities of items. Retail consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location, such as a department store, boutique or kiosk, or by mail, in small or individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser.[1] Retailing may include subordinated services, such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or businesses. In commerce, a "retailer" buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the end-user.

Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing;...
