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:
Go to .
Scroll to the eCommerce section.
Under Configure Delivery Methods, click Find a Delivery Provider.
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.
Note
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.
Custom delivery method¶
Custom delivery methods must be created, for example:
to configure fixed-price shipping that applies to all orders;
to configure shipping based on rules;
to configure the Click & Collect option.
To create a custom delivery method, go to , click New, and configure it.
Upon configuring a delivery method, you can:
Use the Availability tab to define conditions for the delivery method based on the order’s content or destination.
Enable the Cash on Delivery option so customers can pay upon delivery.
Add a Tracking Link to allow customer to track their order via the customer portal.
Use the eCommerce tab to:
Restrict it to a specific website by selecting it in the Website field.
Define an Estimated Delivery date to indicate when the order is planned to be delivered. To do so:
Select the number of working days to set a fixed duration for order processing and delivery.
Fill in the Allow selection up to field to let customers choose the delivery date. This might be especially useful for Click & Collect orders.
Select the working schedule in the Based on field.
Example
Your expected delivery period is 5 working days. You allow the customer to choose up to 2 additional working days. If the customer orders on 06/17/2026, the expected delivery date is 06/24/2026. Since customers can select up to 2 additional days, they can choose a delivery date between 06/24/2026, 06/25/2026, and 06/26/2026.
Click & Collect¶
To allow customers to reserve products online and collect them in-store, follow these steps:
Go to .
Scroll to the eCommerce section, enable Click & Collect, and Save.
Click Configure Pickup Locations to configure the delivery method, if needed, and ensure the Provider field is set to Pick up in store.
In the Stores tab, click Add a line and select the warehouse(s) where customers can collect their orders.
Once the setup is complete, click the Unpublished button to change the status to Published and make the delivery method available to customers.
Note
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.
