      Carry Out vs Pickup Orders

      What is the difference between Carry Out and Pickup Orders?

      Carry Out Orders

      • Carry Out Orders do not require fulfillment because they are presumed to be fulfilled at the time of purchase.
        • Example: A Customer visits your Tasting Room, purchases wine and takes it with them.
      • The Carry Out Order Type is the default Order Type for the POS, as most Customers are physically purchasing and taking the bottles with them.
        • Note: You can override the Carry Out default at the time of POS checkout - to instead make it a Shipping Order - you just have to define that BEFORE you process the payment.

      Pickup Orders

      • Pickup Orders are placed for later pickup.
        • Example: A Club Member is picking up their Club Shipment as opposed to having it shipped.
        • Example: If you offer 'Pickup' as an option for Web orders, the Customer will pay for the Order on your site, and then pick up the bottles at a later date.
      • Fulfillment: Because Orders marked as Pickup are not received by the Customer immediately, they must be marked as 'Fulfilled' manually in Commerce7 when they are picked up.
        • This fulfillment process records 3 things:
          • When the Order has been received by the Customer
          • The name of the person who picked it up
          • Updates your Inventory
