Wix Stores: Offering Delivery to Pickup Points with Sendcloud
Let customers buy online and pick up their purchases from convenient locations nearby. Sendcloud offers pickup point delivery via a variety of carriers, including UPS, DHL, and DPD.
After setup, customers in relevant regions can select one of 3 pickups points that are closest to the address they entered during checkout.
When the order comes in, you can purchase a shipping label from the Sendcloud dashboard.
