Yes they do.
That is exactly how Kobo works: they partner with bookstores in return for a share of ebook revenue coming from the ereaders they sell.

Amazon had (has?) a similar program called Amazon source:

Presumably Waterstones had a similar deal.

Now, Indigo is a (slightly) different case because they used to own Kobo before selling it to Rakuten.
