Delivery methods

Odoo eCommerce allows you to configure various delivery methods, enabling customers to choose their preferred option at checkout. These methods include integrations with external providers as well as custom options such as flat-rate shipping, free shipping, or in-store pickup.

External provider integration

You can integrate with third-party shipping carriers, such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL to streamline shipping operations. Connecting with an external provider allows to generate tracking labels automatically and to offer customers several delivery options at checkout.

To enable a third-party delivery provider:

  1. Go to Website ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings.

  2. Scroll to the eCommerce section.

  3. Under Configure Delivery Methods, click Find a Delivery Provider.

  4. On the New Providers page, click the Delivery methods button of an already-installed provider to access the delivery method’s form, or Install a new provider.

  5. Configure the delivery method.

Nota

The shipping price, including the Margin on rate or Additional margin configured on the delivery method (if applicable), is displayed when selecting the provider during checkout.

  2. Scroll to the eCommerce section, enable Click & Collect, and Save.

  3. Click Configure Pickup Locations to configure the delivery method, if needed, and ensure the Provider field is set to Pick up in store.

  5. Once the setup is complete, click the Unpublished button to change the status to Published and make the delivery method available to customers.

Nota

  • When the product is in stock, a location selector is displayed on the product page and the Address checkout page. Customers cannot select a pick-up location if the product is out of stock at that location, unless the Continue selling option for out-of-stock products is enabled.

  • If the Show Available Qty option is enabled for a product, customers can view the stock quantity available for each warehouse in the location selector on the product page.

  • Each warehouse must have a complete address to ensure its location is accurately displayed to customers. Incomplete addresses prevent the warehouse from being shown.

  • In a multi-company environment, the company assigned to the warehouse must match the company assigned to the website on which the delivery method is used. If the companies differ, the pickup location cannot be selected.

  • The Click & Collect option is not available for services.

  • By default, the Pay on Site payment method is enabled and published when the Click & Collect feature is activated.
