Store Pickup Marketplace Add-On

Note - This extension is a Marketplace Add-On, so you must purchase and install Webkul’s Multi Vendor Marketplace extension first.

Store Pickup Marketplace Add-On enables sellers to add their physical store information to their profile in the marketplace. Sellers can add various physical stores/outlets along with address, zip code, store contact number, store opening-closing times, etc. by using this add-on. If the stores have been added, the seller will be able to allocate the products to any store if he adds a new product (or modifies the products previously made). Using the name of the city or zip code, the customer can search for stores, and all stores nearby will be displayed. Customers can select any store as their preferred and click 'Make it your store.

Important Notes:

• This extension currently only works with simple and configurable product types. 
• For Ship To Home (Shipping), this extension will only work with Webkul Marketplace Shipping Add-On extensions. 

Business Value

If the sellers have a brick-and-mortar business and offer their products online. Then, this would benefit both sellers and customers. Sellers can connect an infinite number of stores using this module. And let customers choose the nearest store from which their orders can be picked up at any time. This module provides a dual purpose to customers - buy online or pick up in stores. This module helps sellers to start their customers' in-store pick-up process. Because these days, customers prefer free in-store pick-up instead of pay for shipment and wait. Further, if multiple items are there in a single order, the customer has an option to choose store pickup option for one product and ship to home option for another product.

The vendor will add the address of the origin of the shipment to their account. The seller can add a new store to their account in the marketplace. The seller has to supply details to the store. The seller must include the name of the store, the contact number, the address, and the zip code for the opening-closing times for the store and the store.

Marketplace Vendor Product - Store Pickup Option 

All the stores he's added to his account can be used by the seller. The seller can decide to alter or delete any of the shops in his account. The list of items/products put under Store Pickup can be viewed by the seller. By adding the store and the quantity of the product to that store on the 'Add New Product' page or the' Edit Product 'page, the seller can allocate any product to any store. The seller may also choose the 'Ship To Home' option to give customers a choice for home delivery of the product.

Vendor Pickup Stores Locator

By entering the zip code or name of that location, the customer may search for a nearby store or some specific location. But first of all, a pickup store has to be chosen by the customer. On Google Maps, customers will be able to see the directions. A list will be displayed of all the stores in the searched location. The customer can make every store his own so that he can just see the product's availability on the product page. The Store Page of any store can also be accessed by users. The customer will be able to see all the store's details, such as the store's address and the store's opening-closing times. The customer may also check the directions from their location to reach the store. On the product page, the customer can see the availability of the product in the store they have selected. If the product is not available in the selected store, other stores may also be checked by customers.

Choose Option - Store Pickup Or Ship To Home

Customers will be able to see the 'Store Pickup' or 'Ship To Home' option until they have added the product to the shopping cart. The customer can select either choice and then proceed to the check-out process. For their order, the customer can choose the shipping form. Either a store pickup or home delivery option can be selected. The customer will review the order specifics and place the order afterward. Also, note if multiple products are added to the shopping cart, the customer can store pickup option for one product and ship to home option for other.

In Marketplace Seller Panel, the ‘Order Store Pickup’ option, the seller can view the list of items/products that has been placed for Store Pickup. The quantity of the product from the store will automatically get subtracted when the order is made against it.
