The Cash on Pickup feature in the Multi Location Product & Inventory Management for WooCommerce plugin allows customers to collect their product from a local pickup location first and then pay in cash upon receiving it. This method helps reduce theft and ensures secure transactions. The feature is available for free if you have purchased the plugin’s Pro version.
Setting Up Local Pickup
Before configuring Cash on Pickup, you must set up local pickup for your store.
- Create a local pickup option in WooCommerce.
- Assign it to your store location.
- Refer to the detailed guide on adding local pickup for step-by-step instructions.
Assigning Local Pickup to Locations
Once local pickup is created, you can assign it to specific store locations.
- Go to Location Manage > Locations.
- Select the location you want to edit.
- Scroll down to find the option Pickup Locations.
- Choose which pickup location(s) you want to assign.
- Click Update to save changes.
Example
For the United States, if you assign two local pickups — Seattle Store and Sunnyvale Store — then on the checkout page for customers selecting United States, only these two pickup options will be shown.
