Introduction:<\/b><\/h2>\n

Stop Losing Customers to Inventory Hide-and-Seek!<\/b><\/span>
\nWhy Let Customers Play Guessing Games with Your Inventory?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be easier and more professional if shoppers could check online and know exactly where to pick up their purchase before they even leave home?<\/p>\n

Our Store Pickup extension displays to customers which location has their product in stock. They pick their store based on convenience.<\/p>\n

For businesses with multiple outlets, this extension transforms the shopping experience. Instead of fielding endless inquiries about stock at different locations, you provide your customers with a self-service option to view store-specific availability and select the most convenient pickup point.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re aiming to increase foot traffic, streamline operations, or simply make your customers\u2019 lives easier, our Store Pickup Extension is a thoughtful solution to bridge the gap between online browsing and in-store purchasing.<\/p>\n

Simple. Smart. Profitable.<\/b><\/p>\n

Because convenience wins customers, and customers win businesses.<\/p>\n

                      How To Get a Google Maps API KEY? (Super Simple Steps!)<\/b><\/h4>\n
                      \n You\u2019re just a few clicks away from making your store locations pop up beautifully on Google Maps!<\/p>\n

                      Steps to Grab Your API Key<\/p>\n

                      Click the Link Near the API Key Section
                      \n You\u2019ll see a small link (something like \u201cGet Google MAP API key https:\/\/developers.google.com\/maps\u201d).
                      \n Click it, and this will take you straight to the Google Cloud Console.<\/p>\n

                      Sign in to Google Cloud Console
                      \n Log in with your Google account. If you don\u2019t have one, you\u2019ll need to create it first.<\/p>\n

                      Create or Select a Project
                      \n You\u2019ll see a dropdown asking you to select a project. Either choose an existing project (if you\u2019ve used Google APIs before)
                      \n or click \u201cNew Project\u201d to make one just for your store.<\/p>\n

                      Enable Maps JavaScript API
                      \n Once inside your project, head to the API Library. Search for \u201cMaps JavaScript API\u201d and click Enable.
                      \n (If you\u2019re also using Places, Geocoding, or Distance Matrix features, enable those too!)<\/p>\n

                      Generate Credentials
                      \n Go to the Credentials section in the left sidebar. Click \u201cCreate Credentials\u201d \u2192 \u201cAPI Key\u201d.
                      \n Google will instantly generate a new API key for you.<\/p>\n

                      Restrict Your API Key (Highly Recommended!)
                      \n In the API key settings, set application restrictions (HTTP referrers) and API restrictions (only Maps JavaScript API) to prevent misuse.<\/p>\n

                      Copy & Paste the Key into Your Extension
                      \n Take the generated API key and paste it into your Store Pickup extension\u2019s API Key field.
                      \n Enable status, click the Save button – and you\u2019re done!\n<\/div>\n

                      Admin Workflow (Phase – I)<\/b><\/h3>\n

                      Steps to Add a Store for Pickup in OpenCart <\/span><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. In your OpenCart dashboard, go to the left side menu bar and click on \u201cStore Pickup.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
                      2. Click on the \u201cAdd New\u201d button.<\/span><\/li>\n
                      3. Fill in all your store details manually – from Title to Location Name and Working Days.<\/span><\/li>\n
                      4. Once all the mandatory fields are completed, click the \u201cSave\u201d button.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        You can repeat these steps to add as many stores as you want for the store pickup facility.<\/p>\n

                        Note: If you pinpoint the map cursor to a specific location, OpenCart will automatically fill in the Location Name, Latitude, and Longitude for you.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

                        \"\"<\/p>\n

                        After the addition of several stores, your product font will look like the image below;<\/p>\n

                        \"\"<\/p>\n

                        Customer Interface<\/b><\/h3>\n

                        How to Place Your Order<\/p>\n

                        Add Product to Cart – <\/b>Select the product you want and add it to your cart.<\/p>\n

                        Go to Checkout – <\/b>Open the checkout page. Fill in your details such as address, shipping method, payment method, and any comments.<\/p>\n

                        Choose Convenience Store Location – <\/b>Click the \u201cChoose\u201d button to view all available store addresses for this product. Pick a store based on its distance from your address and your pickup schedule.<\/p>\n

                        \"\"<\/p>\n

                        Select Pickup Schedule – <\/b>Choose a pickup time that suits you. Click \u201cSave Changes\u201d to confirm the store and time.<\/p>\n

                        Clicking on the choose button will lead you to all the available store addresses for that particular product. Now you can add the details as per the distance from your address and pickup schedule, as shown below;<\/p>\n

                        \"\"<\/p>\n

                        Confirm Your Order – <\/b>Review all details carefully. Click \u201cConfirm Order\u201d to complete your purchase.<\/p>\n

                        Note: Clicking the \u201cReset\u201d button will erase all previously entered information so you can start fresh.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

                        Once your order is confirmed, you\u2019ll receive an order confirmation email at your registered email address.<\/p>\n

                        Admin Workflow (Phase – II)<\/b><\/h3>\n

                        Once the order is confirmed, the admin needs to confirm and share the order status from the backend.<\/p>\n

                        Sales>>Orders>> View>> Confirm Order>> Add History<\/span><\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. Go to Sales > Orders in the admin panel.<\/span><\/li>\n
                        2. Find the order you want to manage. <\/span>\u2018Users\u2019.<\/b><\/li>\n

                        4. Click \u201cConfirm Order\u201d to approve it.<\/span><\/li>\n
                        5. In the Add History section, select the current status (e.g., Pending, Processed, Shipping, etc.).<\/span><\/li>\n
                        6. Save your changes.<\/span><\/li>\n
                        7. The status you select in Add History will be visible to the customer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          \"\"<\/p>\n

                          Note – Selected history will be visible to the customer as per the admin selection (For example – Pending, Processed, Shipping, etc.)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

                          \"\"<\/p>\n

                          Your order placement board will look like the one above, and you can confirm the order from here. Every confirmation or status update sends an email notification to the customer\u2019s registered email address automatically.<\/p>\n

                          With these steps completed, your OpenCart Store Pickup extension is fully set up and ready to go – customers can easily place orders and choose pickup locations, while you can efficiently manage and update order statuses from the admin panel, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
