The Customer Self Service eCommerce Platform allows Admin to add and manage store and warehouse locations, for use with Click and Collect delivery and pickup modes and product availability calculations.
Please note that the Store Pickup functionality is not compatible with Live Freight. If your BPD site uses Live Freight and you are interested in implementing Store Pickup functionality, please contact us to discuss customisation options.
Does your business ship from distribution warehouses?
An advanced location solution can also be implemented for your site to include distribution warehouses in calculating product availability for the delivery mode. Let's say your business has stores, store warehouses and also regional distribution warehouses. The system can be configured so that distribution warehouses can be included as alternative or even default locations to the store or store warehouse, e.g., for stock availability reasons. When this is implemented, a distribution warehouse can be selected for a store in the Store Locator screen.
This option is available for sites running 4.24+ and requires consultation with Commerce Vision.
Step-by-step guide
This guide details how to set up a new Store Location and maintain existing locations for sites on our Best Practice Design (BPD) websites once Store Locator has been enabled and configured.
See the guide to Click & ColIect Delivery Settings to configure delivery modes for your website. If you're implementing the Click and Collect functionality for the first time, contact us to verify your site's availability calculation is correct.
Create a New Store Location
- In the CMS, navigate to Settings → Store Locator Maintenance.
- Select the Store Locator tab. Records of each existing location are displayed.
- Click New.
- Tick Active if this location is to be visible on your site.
- Enter the Store Name, Address, and contact fields.

- In Warehouse Code, enter the code used for this location (as in your ERP).
- In Shipping Lead Time, enter the number of days required to process and ship an order from this location from when it is submitted.
(Optional) Tick Is Pick-up Enabled to enable this location for Click & Collect. If this is ticked, the location will be available for selection by customers. This information will also integrate to the PRONTO 'StoreLocation' table for the Warehouse Code/Store Location.
- (Optional) The Store Name For Pickup Click And Collect provides an alternate pickup location, e.g., a warehouse, to this one (e.g., if it is suitable for pickup). This alternate location can be configured to default instead of the store location. Talk to Commerce Vision for implementation details.)
- (Optional) The Click And Collect Product Availability Buffer is a product buffer value specific to this warehouse and overrides the value in System Settings. The buffer adds a safety net to the availability logic, e.g., to account for stocktake errors. The value is subtracted from the available quantity.
- To save the store location, click OK.
