Overview

Customer Self Service's Click & Collect functionality allows users to order products online and collect them at a store location convenient to them. Click & Collect can be a great sales driver, as it may save the customer shipping costs, as well as allowing them to receive their goods much more quickly.

With Click & Collect functionality, the user can set their pickup location ('My Store') at any time during their visit.

Setting their preferred store allows the pickup availability to be displayed to the user. If the user changes their pickup store, the availability will be re-calculated and the page will refresh with changes. 

Products may display a different availability status for delivery, as the customer's default warehouse is used to calculate availability for this fulfillment method. A B2B user who switches to another account may see different delivery availability if the new account code has a different default warehouse. 

 

Store Locator

Before Click & Collect can be implemented, it's imperative that a Store Locator has been populated with valid pickup locations. Refer to this guide for instructions - Pickup Warehouses / Store Locator.

For each location, the following fields are of special importance for Click & Collect: 

  • Is Pickup Enabled - For standard checkout, determines whether the user can select this location to collect their order. For Click & Collect, determines whether this location can be set as 'My Store' for pickup.
  • Click And Collect Product Availability Buffer - a buffer value specific to this warehouse, overriding the value in System Settings.
  • Store Name For Pickup Click And Collect - sets an alternate pickup warehouse for this location (e.g. a debtor's default warehouse may be ok for delivery, not suitable to collect from. In this instance, an alternate warehouse is used).
