Service points for PrestaShop

Mariana
  • Updated

Purpose: This is a guide on how your customers can choose in the checkout which service point their package will be sent. The latest version of the Sendcloud module for PrestaShop allows you to offer multiple service point delivery methods per carrier in your shop checkout.

Please note: if you decide to switch to the new module, your old service point delivery method will be deleted. Follow this guide to activate the new service points methods.

Offering your customers the option of being delivered through service points can increase your shop conversion rate by up to 30%. It is also becoming one of the most favourite delivery options in Europe. You can easily implement it on PrestaShop thanks to SendCloud in less than 5 minutes by following the next steps.

Set up in Sendcloud

  1. In your Sendcloud account navigate to Settings > Integrations. Then, click on Configure, on your active PrestaShop integration.

Set up in PrestaShop

Once you have set up the service point delivery method in Sendcloud, it’s time to activate them in your shop checkout.

  1. Navigate to Shipping > Sendcloud. Here you will notice that new service point delivery methods have been added for each carrier that has been previously selected in the Sendcloud application.  However, those will be inactive. To activate them, you need to set up prices for each method.
