Magento 2 Store Pickup Extension by Mageplaza

When shopping online, the shipping fee is considered one of the key factors making customers hesitant to make purchases. They do not expect that the product price increases because of the extra fee from delivery. Or they live near the sales point, so they want to buy the product in-store.

How can online store owners serve their customers?

Understanding this, Mageplaza has released a Store Pickup extension for Magento 2. It enables shoppers to select the nearest store location with the most convenient date and time. The module also offers a lot of potent functions. Let’s explore now!

What makes it worth buying the Mageplaza Store Pickup for Magento 2 stores?

Enable customers to pick up products from the nearest physical store

The extension helps store owners to allow shoppers to pick up the product conveniently. They can determine when and where to pick up and lower a specific amount of shipping fee.

Admins can add the store pickup option as a shipping method at the checkout page. When shoppers go to the checkout page, they can easily choose Store Pickup at the Shipping Method section.

With only one click, a pop-up shows up and gets ready to obtain pick-up information from the shoppers. Then a drop-list of pick-up stores appears and shoppers need to choose their preferred ones.

Store Pickup as a shipping method is also presented in the My Orders section (of My Account Page) of logged-in shoppers.

Set pickup time for both sides

For shoppers, after they choose the suitable locations to collect their ordered products, the next step is to decide the pickup time. At the pop-up, Shoppers can enter their free date and hour in detail. For instance, the pickup time is set for 20th November 2020, at 9h30 pm.

For admins, to ensure the products are ready when shoppers arrive, they can set a certain number of days after the orders have been placed. For example, every product can be picked up after 4 days shoppers have ordered.

The schedule function brings convenience for both sellers and buyers, making sure the products will get to customers perfectly.

Configure the availability of stores for each product

If products are only available at particular store branches, store owners can configure to set these products pickable according to those branches.

This is essential for the real inventory situation of each store branch. As the stock of an item is small, the store admin can assign this item to only some certain branches. Moreover, special discount items are only available at new branches, aiming at drawing shoppers to visit.

Display pickup stores right on the product page

Shoppers can view the store branches enabling pickup from the product page. As customers are viewing an item, they can figure out where they can visit to take this item.

A pop-up will be displayed after one click, recommending the list of suitable pickup locations for the buyers.
