eStore – Shipping Button For Local Pick-Up

[tewright13]

Hello,

So, I’m making an e-Card/photography website that uses original photos. The main products are greeting cards with the photos on them, but they can also select several variations of sets, sizes, etc. Each card is an individual product that will be $0.50 per card for shipping. I’d like to keep it that way so if they order, say, 4 cards it will be extra shipping for more cards. I have variations set up for shipping options that say like “8X10” “Canvas Wrap” etc. that adds set shipping prices.

My problem is, I also want people to be able to come to the store and pick up the prints, cards, etc. It seems like if there was a select box that said “Pick up locally” that would appear in your shopping cart after being enabled in the eStore settings, it would allow those individual product shipping prices to be zeroed out. The capability would work just like adding a coupon code for free shipping which is already a part of the system. It would just save us the step of making our customers enter a code when they want to pick up locally.

If I were better at coding, I’d figure out a way to add the coupon code text to the discount coupon text field and submit when a user clicks the select box or a button. So, what do you think? I know physical items is not the target product for this, but I really like the plugin and this one tweak would take it to the next level. Thanks so much!

Are you handling local pickup via manual checkout? Or are you letting them pay via PayPal then they are coming to the store to pick it up?

I have a checkout page that they then check out with PayPal.

I want them to always pay online, but be able to select “Local” as a variation in the shipping that would remove any shipping charges that are added individually for each product.

Thank you. I am working on adding a feature for this. I should be able to give you an update in a few days.

Thank you! You know what would be EXTRA cool is if in the individual product variation you could add a line that would automatically add a set shipping price based on that variation.

So, for example:

Product A costs $5.

Variation 1 of product is $5 + $2 shipping

Variation 2 of product is $10 + $4 shipping

And so on.

The cool thing with that way is that with the universal shipping charges being added in the main settings you could truly then upcharge people for quicker shipping options on top of the standard charges.

Hey, it’s the holidays… we can all wish, right?

Thanks again.

We are nearly done adding an option to allow your customers to pickup from your store (no shipping will be charged for store pickup).

Has this been implemented yet?

[admin]

Yes, we have completed this work.

Go to eStore settings menu and enable the “Enable Store Pickup” option.

If you don’t see that option then grab a new copy of eStore:
