What could be primarily available via on-line shop? (7)

I believe the answer is:

avocado

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what could' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'primarily available via on-line shop?' is the wordplay.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
'on line shop?' becomes 'ocado' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letters of 'available via' is 'av'.
'av'+'ocado'='AVOCADO'

'be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avocado that I've seen before include "A posh tropical pear" , "Tropical fruit with a yellow creamy flesh" , "Green - fruit eaten as a vegetable" , "Pulpy fruit" , "slightly green" .)
