How Small Businesses Can Enable Customers To Book Orders Online?

Leave a comment

Now small businesses can avoid crowded counters in their store by allowing customers to book their orders online and then pick up that order from the store or get it home delivered.

Although, with WordPress Ecommerce you can start an advanced online store with pickup and home-delivery options. However small businesses that operate locally in a small area can make use of the store pickup option, especially those who don’t want to ride on third-party logistic services and are not interested in hiring someone personally for that.

With WordPress Ecommerce you can make your online store on your own, you can easily add products, activate payment methods, and start serving local clients with a store pickup option so that people can browse the products online, book them from home, and pick up the parcel without crowding your shop.

How To Start An eCommerce Shop With Store Pickup Option?

Simply start by registering your domain name and then subscribe to WordPress Ecommerce. Once you are subscribed to the service, the automated process will guide you in connecting your domain name with your store website and set up the basic options to make your store website ready for the customers.

Local Pickup is a shipping option that can be enabled on your WordPress Ecommerce website from your admin area Dashboard -> WooCommerce -> Settings page.

  1. Click the ‘Shippings’ option
  2. Click ‘Add Shipping Zone’ button
  3. Select the region you are serving
  4. Click ‘Add Shipping Method’
  5. Select ‘Local Pickup’

Save your changes and you will be able to use this shipping method over your products. If you have multiple outlets, you can select more regions in the third step.

How To Extend Local Pickup Option?

This can be done by installing and activating a WordPress plugin called Advanced Local Pickup for WooCommerce. The plugin allows you to mark order status as ‘Ready for Pickup’ and send your customers an email having important pickup instructions.

Once the order is picked up from your store, you can mark the order status as ‘Picked Up’ and send another email notification to the customer.

The given plugin allows you to handle pickup orders more conveniently by extending the default WooCommerce local pickup functionality with more options:

  • You can mark orders as ‘Ready for Pickup’ and send email notifications to your customers
  • You can mark orders as ‘Picked up’ and again notify your customers
  • You can set pick-up instructions such as location name, address, work hours, and special instructions
  • You can customize the order status email subject, heading, and content
  • You can customize the pickup instruction display on the order status emails
  • You can add pickup location & details to the processing order email and the order received page

You May Either Make A ‘Pickup Only Store’ Or Use It With Other Shipping Options

Local Pickup option can be enabled with or without other shipping methods you have on your WordPress Ecommerce website. The given plugin simply helps you to conveniently handle orders marked for pickup. It does this by extending the default ‘Local Pickup’ functionality you get with your WordPress Ecommerce website.

Always Prioritize Your Own Ecommerce Website Than Any Marketplace

Leave a comment

Selling your services or products on your website is one source of income. Selling them on other eCommerce marketplaces is another source of income that you cannot rely on as it can stop anytime in case you violate any of their terms and conditions.

So make yourself liberated by starting your own eCommerce website. You may use other marketplaces if they are profitable for you but always prioritize your own eCommerce website as that gives you complete control over your business.

Establish Your Own Name In The Market

The second source of income i.e. selling on the eCommerce marketplaces might give you more orders during the early phase of your business but it won’t let you establish your name in the market.

To stand out in the crowd you will need to establish your own identity on the internet, otherwise, you will get lost in the competition. So register and work from your own domain name.

For example, All marketplaces give very minimal options for seller profile personalization. Establishing an online identity cannot happen on someone else website. On other websites, you don’t really establish your identity instead you work under their name.

Let’s say you visit any eCommerce website for purchasing a smartphone. You will see that there are some known vs unknown companies. You will easily recognize known companies because they know they cannot establish their identity only by selling on some eCommerce marketplace. You will find that they all have their own website. They make a profit from other eCommerce marketplaces but they are not dependent on them.

Empower Your Right Source Of Income

So always work for empowering your first source of income i.e. selling products from your own domain because that will take you into the safe zone of business. You will define your own style of selling and decide your terms & conditions instead of following someone else.

For example, Dominos has its own eCommerce app with a food delivery service and it doesn’t rely on the largest food delivery services out there.

Yes, Dominos’s customers use other food delivery apps too but when it comes to placing orders with Dominos, they generally use its original app instead of any other app. Even if the largest food delivery companies fall, Domino’s service will stay unaffected.

So Make Your Own Ecommerce Website Today

You simply need to register your domain name and subscribe to WordPress Ecommerce and you would be able to make your own eCommerce website without hiring any web development professional.

cPanel Starter is the cheapest hosting option that enables you to host one website. Cheapest doesn’t mean its worthless, it is good for hosting one website of any kind, the bandwidth is unmetered and storage is 30GB which is good as your first step online.

You can use it for hosting any dynamic website such as an eCommerce store or WordPress, Joomla or Magento etc.

cPanel Economy, this is second cheapest option. It lets you host one domain but gives you 10 MySQL databases, and 100 email accounts capacity. The core difference between cPanel Starter and cPanel Economy is that cPanel Starter gives you the power to host one website i.e. one domain having one database.

Whereas, cPanel Economy lets you host one domain but 10 MySQL databases which means you can create 10 websites on separate databases using a subdomain (example: sudomain.yourdomain.com) or subdirectory (yourdomain.com/subdirectory) option. You may create more websites using different table prefixes on one database. Well that you can do on cPanel Starter too if you want to host multiple subdomain or subdirectory sites on one database. But see the storage capacity of the database is limited.

cPanel Deluxe, lets you host unlimited websites which means you can add unlimited domains but the database limit is 25. That means you can either run 25 websites on 25 separate databases or host more websites (that’s what is unlimited) by using one database for multiple websites and you have 25 databases so you can run many websites here also. It lets you create 500 email accounts.

cPanel Ultimate enables you to add unlimited domains and lets you create unlimited databases. Gives you 1 year of free SSL subscription, more processing power, and 1000 email accounts that you can create on your own domain.

WordPress Hosting

Also called Managed WordPress, these hosting options lets you start your own website or online store in minutes.

They save you from the hassles of configuring and managing WordPress installations. They give you dashboard access with the power to start your website on your own without the need of hiring a web developer. They offer automatic setup, backups, and software updates paired with 24/7, online support.

The WordPress Hosting options include:

  1. WordPress Basic – Good for hosting one website with a capacity of handling 25,000 visitors a month
  2. WordPress Deluxe – One website with a capacity of handling 100,000 visitors a month
  3. WordPress Ultimate – One website with unlimited visits
  4. WordPress Ecommerce – Ideal for starting your own online shop i.e eCommerce website
  5. WordPress Developer – You can start and manage 5 different WordPress sites
  6. WordPress Pro – Lets you manage up to 25 different WordPress sites

Webhosting Plus

The Webhosting Plus offers you the simplicity of cPanel hosting with resources that you generally get on a server. It includes more dedicated resources than WordPress or cPanel hosting we discussed above.

This is a great option if you are hitting or going to hit massive traffic, you need more power and resources but at the same time, you don’t know how to manage a server and you don’t want to hire a system administrator.

It also includes multiple plans starting from 4GB RAM to 32GB RAM with the power of up to 16 CPUs:

  1. Webhosting Plus Launch – 4GB RAM with 2 CPUs
  2. Webhosting Plus Enhance – 8GB RAM with 4 CPUs
  3. Webhosting Plus Grow – 16GB RAM with 8 CPUs
  4. Webhosting Plus Expand – 32GB RAM with 16 CPUs

This hosting option is easier to manage just like other cPanel hostings.

VPS & Dedicated Servers

These give you complete control and no resources are shared with other users. A common hosting plan you purchase is located on a server running multiple hostings whereas on a dedicated server all resources are only for your use.

You can build multiple cPanel hostings, allocate resources to each hosting plan, you can decide how many domains each webhosting can have and how much server resources a website or hosting can utilize or you can simply allocate all server resources to your main website.

There various type of servers with higher-lower RAM and space options. But the subscription is of only two types: Self Managed and Fully Managed.

Self-Managed Servers: – These give you command line control. To manage this type of server you may either learn system engineering or hire a system administrator or you can simplify things for yourself by adding the cPanel WHM option.

Fully-Managed Servers: These servers come with round-the-clock dedicated online support from experts.

Subscribing a VPS or Dedicated Server is just like purchasing a computer machine. So while subscribing to a server what you should see is its RAM, storage option such as HDD or SSD, and processor.
