Delivery Methods tab

The following delivery method settings are available from the Delivery Methods tab in the Add Store and Edit Store windows:

Here's how the changes made in this tab are reflected in the Marketplace page of the Members portal:

When a member navigates to the Marketplace, the Pickup option is selected by default. The Pickup flow requires the placed Order to be collected from the Store's physical address.

When the member enters the Marketplace page (1), they must select their Location (2) from the drop-down menu to browse Stores that offer Pickup (3):

After adding products to the cart (1), Members must click Checkout (2) and will be redirected to the Checkout page.

There, they will do the following:

1. Select a Pickup time and add Order Notes.

2. Choose a payment method (or add Payment and/or Billing Details).

3. Click the Place Order button.

Delivery is another option. The Order will be delivered to a specific Resource (Office, Desk, Meeting room, etc.) in your Location.

Once the member enters the Marketplace page (1) and selects Delivery (2), they must choose a Location (3) and a Resource (4) where the order should be delivered.

The Marketplace page displays all Stores that deliver to the selected Location and Resource. The member can browse each store and add products to the Cart.

Note that members cannot add goods from different stores in a single order.

After adding products to the Cart (1), members must click Checkout (2) and will be redirected to the Checkout page.

There, they will do the following:

1. Select a Delivery time and add Order Notes.

2. Choose a payment method (or add Payment and/or Billing Details).

3. Place the order.
