Outlets, pre-orders and instant checkout

Three small features of your online shop. Each one is optional; read the two lines under each heading to see whether you need it.

Outlets

For shops with more than one branch or counter. Outlets let you see which branch an order or a member belongs to, and limit staff to the orders of their own branch.

• Add an outlet: what an outlet is, the main outlet, and the outlet QR code.
• Assign members and staff to an outlet
• Outlets in orders, shipments and reports: filter your orders and sales by branch.

Pre-orders

For products that are sold out. Customers leave their name and phone number or email on the product page, and you contact them when the stock is back. No payment is taken.

• Let customers ask for a sold-out product: turn it on for a product and see what customers see.
• Follow up pre-order requests: read the requests, mark them done, delete old ones.

Instant checkout

For orders you take on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram or other chats. You put the products in a ready-made cart and send the customer a link; the customer opens it, fills in the delivery address and pays.

• Create an instant checkout link
• What the customer sees when opening the link, and the order it creates.
• Manage your instant checkout links: see which links were used, and switch a link off.

Good to know

• All three are under E Commerce in the left menu: Outlet at the top, Instant Checkout below Bulk Mail, and Preorder near the bottom.
• Your website has a main outlet even if you never add one. Everything that is not linked to an outlet you added belongs to Main Outlet.
