What app can best manage local pickup for bulky items?

[leighg]

Hi

We sell a number of large bulky heavy items from our store and want these to show as Local Pickup only. While Shopify offers local pickup, apparently it can’t apply that status at a product level, either individually or as a group via a condition. Can anyone recommend an app that manages local pickup well? Ideally I don’t want customers purchasing such items to even have shipping shown to them as just adds more friction to the cart process. Don’t need bells and whistles, just boring old local pickup in it’s raw form.

Hi @leighg ,

Klaudia from the Zapiet team! We have an app called Store Pickup + Delivery that might be what you’re looking for!

With this app, you are able to offer store pickup, delivery and/or shipping to your customers. For each method, you may also control which items you’d like to have available. If you would like to offer the large bulky heavy items just for pickup, we have a feature called conditional activation that will disable shipping.

Here’s a screenshot of our widget from my test store. The widget’s text and design are customizable as well!

Along with being able to choose the checkout method, customers will also be able to select a date and time. All of this can be configured in our app’s settings.

To see what our app’s widget looks like, please take a look at our Demo Store!

Our app also comes with a 14-day free trial so I would recommend installing it and exploring all our features to see if it suits your needs

Please let me know if you have any questions. You may also reach out on live chat and email (support@zapiet.com).

Cheers,

Klaudia from Zapiet

Thank you Klaudia. I have seen your app and wondered if it would work for
our business. I would see what the checkout process is like with a product
that has shipping disabled. Is that possible?

Hey @leighg , thanks for getting back to me!

When merchants have certain items available for store pickup and shipping, we usually recommend either using conditional activation on the widget or completely hiding the widget for shipping items. I’ll show you what it looks like for both!

Using Conditional Activation to disable shipping

On the cart page, where our widget appears, customers will be able to select shipping/pick up. In this case, the 12 Ti Xelium Skis are not available for shipping. So if customers, click on shipping on our widget, they will see a message saying that the shipping is not available (this message can be customized):

If they select pickup, they will see all the locations that offer this item, and depending on your settings, you may offer the date and/or time picker:

When they click on checkout, they will see the pickup location’s address (this is automatically added into the address fields) and this is where they have to enter their email and name:

After entering their contact details, they will then have to select a store pickup rate:

Completely hiding the widget for specific products

If you would like to ship items and a date is not required to be attached to the order, customers can completely skip the widget and head to checkout as per the normal Shopify shipping checkout flow.

Here’s an example. In my app’s settings, I have decided to hide the widget for the product ‘Flicker’:

I hope this clarifies and please do not hesitate to ask more questions!

Kindest regards,

Klaudia from the Zapiet team
