Exploring locations

Enable locations

This feature allows your customers to select their preferred location for pickup or delivery. You can also set rules that apply to specific locations so that you manage your orders more easily. To get started, go to Settings > Locations.

The location selector is available for both Store Pickup and Local Delivery methods. Both are configured from the unified Locations section. If you need a new store location, please create it first on the Locations admin page or check our article: How to add Locations in Buunto.

To add a location or locations, just click on the "add pickup location" button and the list of locations available in your store will show up, select the ones you need.

You can also define the order of the locations by dragging and dropping them. The location at the top will always be displayed as the first option in the dropdown.

You can choose between displaying just the location's name in the dropdown, displaying the name and location's address and a link to Google Maps, or avoid displaying the dropdown at all. These settings can be configured independently for each delivery method (Store Pickup and Local Delivery).

Also, "Show the dropdown when only one location is available" will help you keep displayed the name of your only location. That way, the customer will know exactly where to go or which hub is serving them:

Pickup location styles

You can edit the widget's "Advanced dropdown" look when the pickup locations are enabled and even upload the delivery option icon. You need to navigate to: Settings > Widget design > Pickup locations style:

For the delivery locations or the "Simple dropdown" mode, you can modify the "Dropdown / Text field" in Settings > Widget design > Field styles.

Custom Settings

If you have already set up custom settings (based on product tags, collections, or product options), and you wish to include or exclude specific locations for these settings, you can do so within: Settings > Locations > Manage custom settings.

From here you can:

Define specific locations for the Custom settings (for both pickup and delivery locations)
Reuse the locations defined in the default settings

Note that if you select a custom setting based on locations from the Manage Custom settings dropdown, you cannot define specific locations here.

Autofill Shipping Address with Pickup Location

In case you want the shipping address prefilled for the customers so the checkout process is faster, you can enable this setting:

When the setting is enabled, once the customer reaches the checkout page, the address of the store selected for pickup will be pre-populated already:

Note: The autofill feature applies to Store Pickup locations only.

Order by distance from the user's location

If you want to arrange locations near the customer for more convenient selections, the "Order by Distance from User's Location" feature is enabled by default. This applies to both pickup and delivery locations.

Note: the sorting uses IP location data and may have slight variances in accuracy.
