Ability to use the In-Store Pickup Shipping feature

The In-Store Pickup is the Service which offers Buyers an opportunity to save on shipping costs and pick up the Items they purchased on eBay in particular local Stores. The Stores must be previously created by a Seller.

After a full address of the Store is provided, including all possible details, eBay will analyze the information to decide if this Store fits the In-Store Pickup Service conditions for a particular Buyer.

If the Store does fit the Service conditions, the Buyers will see the purchased Items marked as available for In-Store Pickup Service depending on the distance to their location.

A seller should obtain an approval to be able to use In-Store Pickup Service option in M2E Pro.

This Service is available for 3 marketplaces — Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The main benefits of this feature are:

• It can help Sellers increase their Listings' visibility, because the Items are specially marked on eBay;
• Buyers can save on shipping costs by picking up the purchased Items in the selected Store. It can make Sellers more attractive to their current and prospective Buyers;
• You don't have to use a Tracked Shipping Service, which allows avoiding Delivery delays, etc.

To apply the In-Store Pickup Shipping to your Items, the following steps must be taken:

• go to eBay Integration > Configuration > Accounts > In-Store Pickup tab where you should enable the Stores Management option.

• next, you should navigate to the eBay Integration > Configuration > Accounts grid and click on the My Stores link.

• press Add Store button and provide detailed information about your Store including Name, Location ID, Phone Number, Location, Business Hours etc.

• go to Quantity Settings tab to select the Quantity source for the Products for this Store. There are 2 options to choose from:

1) Price, Quantity and Format Policy — the quantity settings provided in the Price, Quantity and Format Policy will be used;

2) Custom Settings — the settings allow selecting the Quantity source as well as specify the Percentage and the Conditional Quantity Options for this particular Store.

• You can now add Products to your Store using the In-Store Pickup button in the Listing.

Now, when the settings for In-Store Pickup Service are provided – the Stores are created and the Products are added to them, - M2E Pro will be automatically updating Product Quantity based on the Synchronization settings.

M2E Pro will also automatically update the Product Stock status and Quantity for the Stores to which the Products are assigned during List/Relist/Revise Actions.

For example, you have 2 Products with 100 Variations in each of them. These Products are assigned to 3 different Stores.

So, the number of total updates which M2E Pro will run is (100 + 100) x 3 = 600.

The Product update can be performed with some time delay, in certain cases (with a large number of Products) it can take up to several hours.

To sum up, the main advantage of 'In-Store Pickup Service' in M2E Pro is that you should only create Stores and assign Products to them, after which M2e Pro will automatically update the Product data with no additional actions required on your side.
