Additional Considerations

• Informing Your Customers:

• Make sure your customers are aware of the new pickup option. Highlight it in your store's FAQ section, on the checkout page, or via a newsletter.

• Testing:

• It's advisable to place a test order to ensure everything is set up correctly. Go through the customer experience to verify that the pickup option appears as expected and that the provided instructions are clear.

• Customer Notifications:

• Set up automated emails or notifications to inform customers when their orders are ready for pickup. This can be done through the "Email Notifications" section under the "Commerce" menu.

• Limitations:

• If you have multiple locations, ensure you communicate clearly about which location the order will be available for pickup.
• If your inventory varies by location, you might need to manage stock levels carefully to avoid overselling items that are meant to be picked up.

By following these steps, you can efficiently set up a pickup option on your Squarespace site, providing a convenient choice for your customers and potentially enhancing their overall shopping experience.
