Use will-call and store pickup functionality on your Optimizely <<product-name>>Â website to empower your customers to choose nearby warehouses to pickup their orders, verify inventory at selected locations, and indicate pickup dates. Enabling this functionality increases customer self-service, improves handling of time-sensitive orders and gives your customers the flexibility to choose the fulfillment method that best meets their current needs.
Note
You also need to update your theme and do some storefront work in addition to enabling this functionality.
Customers will see an option to select their fulfillment method and location in the header, both before and after signing-in. They can save or update their default fulfillment method through My Account \> Settings.
They can select their pickup location through a window that shows nearby warehouses and their service hours.

The header shows the fulfillment selection and pickup location.

When customers select **Pickup** as their fulfillment method and designate a warehouse, the inventory availability messaging throughout the site indicates stock for that warehouse only. Additionally, they system calculates taxes based on the pickup location and any location-based restriction group rules continue to apply.
Note
Restriction groups are based on the customer records, not the actual addresses. If a customer selects **Pickup** as their fulfillment method, the restriction will be based on the Ship-To customer in context of the order, which may appear confusing since the selected Ship-To is not displayed.
