Wix Stores: Offering Delivery to Pickup Points with Boxtal

6 min read
Let customers buy online and pick up their purchases from convenient locations nearby. With Boxtal, merchants based in France can offer delivery to 10 countries via 15 carriers including Mondial Relay, Relais Colis, and FedEx.
After setup, customers in relevant regions can select one of 5 pickups points that are closest to the address they entered during checkout. 
When the order comes in, go to the Boxtal dashboard to purchase a shipping label. After dropping the package off at one of the carrier's pickup points, the carrier delivers the order to the pickup point the customer selected. Both you and your customer receive notifications and tracking numbers.

Step 1 | Add the Boxtal app

To get started, go to the Wix app market in the dashboard and add the Boxtal app.

  2. Search for the Boxtal app.
  3. Click +Add to Site to add the app.
  4. Review permissions and click Add to Site.

Step 2 | Set up your Boxtal account

To start setting up shipping to pickup points, you need to access the Boxtal dashboard, create or sign in to your account, and add some basic information. 

To access the Boxtal dashboard:

  1. If not directed automatically:
    1. Go to Manage Apps in your site's dashboard in Wix.
    2. Click Open next to the Boxtal app.
  2. Create an account or log in to an existing account.

Notes:
  • To learn how to configure shipping parameters, create shipping rules, and more, go to the Boxtal Help Center.
  • Pickup point shipping isn't available for customers until you enable it (Step 4 below). 

Step 3 | Create shipping regions for each pickup-point location

To offer pickup-point delivery in a country or group of countries, you need to create a shipping region in your Wix dashboard.
For example, to offer pickup-points to customers in France and Spain, you need to create shipping regions in your Wix dashboard for each of those locations (or one location that covers both countries). 

Step 4 | Enable shipping to pickup points

For customers to see and select the new pickup point options at checkout, you must enable the Boxtal app in your Wix dashboard and set the rate you charge your customers. 
Important:
You must enable the pickup points in each region where you want customers to see it. 

To enable shipping to pickup points via Boxtal:

  1. Go to Shipping & Fulfillment in your site's dashboard.
  2. Select a shipping region where Boxtal operates (e.g. France).
  3. Scroll down past any shipping, delivery, or store pickup options you created.
  4. Click the toggle next to the Boxtal app to enable it. 
  5. Enter a Shipping option name (e.g. Pickup Points).
    Tip: Customers see this name during checkout.
  6. Enter the Rate at checkout.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Repeat steps 2 - 6 for any additional shipping regions (e.g. Spain).

Step 5 | Fulfill pickup-point orders

When customers check out, they can select any of the 5 available pickup points near the address they entered.
In the Orders tab, you can see an indication that this order is set to be delivered to a pickup point. You can also see the address of the specific pickup point your customer selected and the carrier set to fulfil the order. 
For example, in the image below, the carrier is Chronopost and that carrier is set to deliver the package to a pickup point called DREAM FLOWER, located at 63 rue Saint Martin.

Note:
Orders appear in the Boxtal dashboard only after an order is paid.
