This may result in the associate declining the pick-up request, potentially leading to lost sales. To salvage these transactions, retailers can proactively reach out to customers via email to present alternative fulfillment solutions. These solutions may include delivering the ordered item to the customer's home, offering pick-up from an alternate store location, or providing the option to cancel the order. However, it is crucial to recognize that each retailer has specific business preferences. Therefore, they require the flexibility to customize which options are made available to customers in their Buy Online, Pick-Up In Store (BOPIS) rejection emails. For example, some retailers might prefer not to present customers with the immediate option to cancel an order. Instead, they could choose to solely provide alternatives like picking up from a different store location or having the items delivered to the customer's home. Moreover, if retailers opt to offer home delivery when store pickup falls through, this update provides the option to select specific shipping methods. This way, retailers can safeguard against potential surges in shipping fees from carriers.

Moreover, if retailers opt to offer home delivery when store pickup falls through, this update provides the option to select specific shipping methods. This way, retailers can safeguard against potential surges in shipping fees from carriers. Similarly, some retailers prefer to offer only in-store pickup instead of shipping to the customer's home because they didn't collect any shipping fee during the BOPIS order placement. Shipping would either require charging customers for shipping or incurring shipping charges, which is not desirable. To avoid this, retailers may opt for in-store pickup only or order cancellations. In the latest release of the HotWax Commerce BOPIS App, retailers can fully customize rejection emails for pickup orders. These emails can offer alternative fulfillment options when stores are unable to fulfill a pickup order. ## More from this month ### [Product Update Unfillable Hold Parking Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/unfillable-hold-queue) ### [Product Update Customized Rebrokering Rules Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/customized-rebrokering-rules) ### [Product Update Improved Product Synchronization Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/improved-product-synchronization) [![HotWax Commerce](https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/Hotwax-2021/HotWax_February2020/Images%20Icons,%20Apparel%20background,%20Hexagon/logo-hotwax-dark.svg)](https://www.hotwax.co/) ### Connect ### Headquarters 175 S Main St Suite 1310, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 - Product - [Omnichannel Order Management](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-order-management-system/) - [Store Inventory Management](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/store-inventory-management) - [FAQ](https://www.hotwax.co/frequently-asked-questions) - [Product Updates](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates) - [Documentation](https://www.hotwax.co/hotwax-commerce-documentation) - Use cases - [Unified Inventory](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/unified-inventory/) - [Configurable Order Routing](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/configurable-order-routing) - [Ship From Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/ship-from-store-software) - [Buy Online Pick-Up In Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/buy-online-pick-up-in-store-bopis-software/) - [Pre-Orders](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/pre-orders/) - [Buy Online Return In Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/buy-online-return-in-store-boris-software) - Solutions - [Omnichannel OMS for Shopify](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-order-management-system-for-shopify/) - [Omnichannel Retail Sales Audit](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-retail-sales-audit-oresa/) © 2026 HotWax Commerce ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Aditya Patel", "url" : "https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/author/aditya-patel" }, "dateModified" : "2026-03-20T05:56:02.884Z", "datePublished" : "2023-09-05T18:30:00.000Z", "headline" : "Configure BOPIS Rejection Email", "image" : [ "https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/bopis-rejection.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/configure-bopis-rejection-email", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/hotwax-logo.png" }, "name" : "HotWax Commerce" } } ```
