Prepare and hand over a Click & Collect order
Use the pickup lifecycle correctly from paid order to verified collection and payout processing.
Click & Collect has its own fulfilment lifecycle. It does not use a dispatch state: Paid order β Preparing for pickup β Ready for pickup β Collected.
Prepare the paid order
- Confirm the product, variant, condition and quantity against the order.
- Keep the item reserved and use the verified pickup location recorded at checkout.
- Follow the location's preparation estimate and buyer instructions.
- Do not ask for cash or another payment for a prepaid collection order.
Mark it ready
- Mark Ready for pickup only when the complete order can be handed over.
- The ready action starts the collection window and notifies the buyer.
- Keep the location open and able to honour the displayed hours and instructions.
- Use order messages if an unavoidable change affects collection.
Verify the handover
- Confirm that the person has the correct order credential.
- Scan the buyer's QR code or enter the six-digit code while handing over the item.
- Do not accept a code sent in advance as proof that collection occurred.
- Successful verification marks the order Collected and records the audit event.
Quick checklist
