How to set up pick up in-store

Overview

• When fulfilling online orders from a store or when a warehouse is located next to a store, you might want to offer customers the option to collect a product instead of paying for shipping.
• In Starshipit, you can manage orders that will be picked up in-store.
• During checkout, customers can opt to pick up an order from their local store.
• Once the customer has selected this option, the order will be imported into Starshipit as "pick up in-store".
• After you fulfil the order in Starshipit, the order will be marked as Completed with '"pick up in-store" as a reference.
