Explore APIs and data feeds powering the Buy Online Pickup in Store (BOPIS) experience.
The APIs and data feeds that connect to deliver Buy Online Pickup in Store experience.
Discover HotWax Commerce's BOPIS PDP experience enabling customers to browse all pickup store options for desired products on Shopify's PDP.
To show available pickup facilities near the customer, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the customer are required. There are two ways to obtain these coordinates:
If the customer inputs their postal code,
Use the postcodeLookup API to convert the postal code into latitude and longitude coordinates
If the customer allows access to their system location,
Obtain the latitude and longitude coordinates directly from their device
Method: POST

Response
Using the latitude and longitude coordinates, call the storeLookup API to fetch all the facilities within a given distance that allow BOPIS. Note: The distance parameter is configurable to narrow down the search results. You can allow customers to input their preferred distance or set a default value.
Method: POST

For each store that allows BOPIS, use the checkInventory API to check the available to promise (ATP) inventory for the desired product. Display all the facilities with non-zero inventory numbers on the product detail page (PDP) for customers to select and place a BOPIS order.
Note: If a facility has 0 inventory for the product, you can still display it for the Ship-to-store PDP experience.
Method: POST

In case the customer's location is not available, you can display all the available store pickup locations for the product using the storeLookup API and checkInventory API. Here's how to handle this scenario:
Step 1: Call the storeLookup API without passing latitude and longitude coordinates to retrieve all facilities allowing BOPIS
Step 2: Use the facility IDs returned in the response of the storeLookup API with the checkInventory API to get the facilities having inventory for the product
Step 3: Display all the locations with non-zero inventory on the PDP

Identifying In-Store Pickup Orders:
When customers add qualifying items for in-store pickup, HotWax OMS will require the order to have the line item property _pickupstore prefilled with the pickup store location.
Note: The line item property can be added by the merchant development team.
Order Download Process:
BOPIS orders placed on Shopify are downloaded into HotWax Commerce alongside regular orders via the 'New Import' job. HotWax Commerce checks the line item property and sends the order to the customer's selected pickup location without brokering. Store associates access BOPIS orders through their BOPIS fulfillment app, preparing orders for customer pickup.
Learn how to integrate Order Management System (OMS) with Marketing Automation Platforms for automated 'Ready to Pickup' email notifications.
These guidelines provide detailed steps for integrating the Order Management System (OMS) with Marketing Automation Platforms to enable the automated delivery of 'Ready to Pickup' email notifications to customers. These notifications are triggered when store staff packs the ordered items in a shipment and indicate their readiness for pickup using HotWax Commerce's BOPIS fulfillment app or Fulfillment APIs.
When store staff pack the order items and indicate their readiness for pickup, the quickShipEntireShipGroup API creates a shipment from the selected shipgroup and moves it to the "Packed" status.
