HotWax Commerce offers several options for fulfilling store pickup orders:
A. HotWax Commerce BOPIS Fulfillment App: A stand-alone mobile app for retailers who are open to using third-party apps to fulfill BOPIS orders from stores.
B. In-house Custom POS Application: For retailers who prefer not to use third-party apps and want to avoid additional training for store associates, HotWax Commerce offers APIs for reading and fulfilling store pickup orders. Retailers' tech teams can use these APIs to develop custom applications within their existing POS systems.
C. Shopify POS BOPIS Fulfillment App: For retailers using Shopify POS, we provide a "Store Pick-Up" application that integrates with Shopify POS. Store associates can view and fulfill store pickup orders assigned to their stores.
Once BOPIS orders are fulfilled, HotWax Commerce syncs the information back to eCommerce, marking the order as completed.
Yes, HotWax Commerce can push orders to POS using APIs provided by the POS system. If POS does not offer APIs, orders can be placed in CSV format on a designated SFTP location for the POS system to access.
HotWax Commerce downloads payment method and order status information and syncs these with POS. However, payment processing and capturing are managed in eCommerce, as the transactions are online sales.
HotWax Commerce can display an estimated pickup date by determining the nearest stores or warehouses with inventory and the time required to transfer the product to the selected store. If the customer places a store pickup order, HotWax Commerce initiates a "ship-to-store" process and creates a transfer order in the POS/warehouse system. The transfer order status can be synced from POS/warehouse system to HotWax Commerce.
HotWax Commerce BOPIS Fulfillment App and APIs allow Store Associates to change the order's delivery mode from “Store Pick-Up” to “Delivery.” Associates can consult with customers and modify the delivery mode if approved, routing the order to the nearest store or warehouse.
Alternatively, associates can use the HotWax Commerce BOPIS Fulfillment App to send an email to customers, informing them of the product's unavailability and providing alternative pickup options.
