Customer Self Service allows for the option of store pickup for customers during checkout. Where there are many different pickup locations available, the feature is often referred to as 'Click & Collect'.

In addition to configuring your site to offer store pickup, the various warehouses or store locations need to be enabled in order to be presented as an option during checkout.Store Locator Maintenance allows Administrators to add and manage store locations as well as other sites such as warehouses relevant for Click and Collect delivery and pickup modes and calculating product availability. You can easily self-configure locations for your website if your business uses only store locations to dispatch deliveries and pickup. However, including warehouses as Click and Collect dispatch sites and implementing pickup locations other than a User's selected store require consultation with Commerce Vision.

Info
titleDoes your business ship from non-store locations such as warehouses?

Delivery solutions in which orders can be sent from non-store locations such as store warehouses and/or distribution warehouses can be implemented for your site. Such options are suited for companies with fulfilment rules involving multiple stores and one or more distribution centres.

Use of Store Warehouses 

This option caters for a business that has stores and store warehouses, and wants shipping to default from the store warehouse when a customer selects a certain Store. In Store Locator, the store warehouse has been set for the Store. This means product availability displayed for delivery will be based on stock levels at the store warehouse rather than the store. Order details will list the warehouse's code as the dispatch location.  

Use of Distribution Warehouses

This option caters for a business that has stores, store warehouses and also regional distribution warehouses and wants shipping to default from the distribution warehouse when a Website User selects a certain Store. In Store Locator, the distribution warehouse has been set for the Store. This means product availability displayed for delivery will be based on stock levels at the distribution warehouse rather than the store or store warehouse.  Order details will include this warehouse's code as the dispatch location. Notes - Availability rules ensure that (i) if the business uses store warehouses as well and a User does not select a preferred store, delivery availability will be based on the default store warehouse set against the Customer code; (ii) if a User selects a store and no distribution warehouse has been set for the store, the default dispatch location based on the Customer code will be used.    


Dispatch options involving warehouses require customisation and implementation by Commerce Vision. Inclusion of distribution warehouses is available for sites on versions 4.24+
