Detailed description of the module

With our WooCommerce Pickup & Delivery module, you can offer your customers maximum flexibility and convenience. Whether home delivery or local pickup, the module seamlessly integrates both options into your checkout process.

Custom opening and delivery times:
Enter detailed opening hours for each of your pickup stations, separated into morning and afternoon, and easily create vacation periods for public holidays or company holidays. For the delivery service, you can specify cut-off times so that, for example, the last delivery order must be received by 9:30 p.m. in order to be delivered by 10:00 p.m. Delivery intervals in 15-minute increments or other custom settings are also possible to optimize your resource allocation.

Seamless integration into checkout:
Your customers see clearly structured options for pickup or delivery at checkout. Dynamically generated time slots and consideration of closed days ensure that only realistically available slots are displayed. As soon as a customer decides to pick up their order, the module automatically adjusts the shipping costs – for example, to “free pickup.”

Cookie-based direct selection of pickup stations:
The cookie function is particularly practical: If you add a specific parameter to your URL, such as ?ref=pickup&id=XYZ, the desired pickup station is preselected directly at checkout. This is ideal if you attach QR codes in your store or create your own landing page that takes customers directly to the appropriate station at checkout without having to search for it themselves. These cookies are automatically deleted after a successful order.

Easy management & customization:
In the admin area, you can easily configure all settings, create pickup stations, upload SVG icons, define colors, and customize texts. The module is designed so that you can optimally adapt it to your corporate design and operational processes.

Reliability & automation:
Cron jobs ensure that opening hours and vacation times are always updated correctly. This means your customers always receive reliable information about available pickup and delivery times.

This module provides you with a comprehensive solution for dynamically designing your fulfillment and offering your customers a first-class shopping experience. Whether they prefer to pick up quickly at the station or have their order conveniently delivered, these features guarantee that you will meet the needs of your customers.
