# Ship to Store
7+
## Overview
88

9-
The `Ship to Store` feature helps customers in placing pickup orders for products that are not immediately available for same-day fulfillment at their preferred location. Users of the BOPIS app can find the `Shipping to store` page by clicking on the `trail` icon on the top right corner of the `Orders` page.
9+
**Ship to Store** enables you to request inventory from another location when an item is out of stock at your store. Instead of canceling a customer's Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) order, you can transfer the item from a warehouse or another store, modifying the fulfillment path to save the sale.

Shopify retailers can install the HotWax Commerce BOPIS PDP App within their Shopify stores enabling their customers to select a specific future timeframe for their pickup. Customers will see an estimated pickup timeframe directly on the product detail page, displayed as "Pick up in x days”.

15+

16+
17+
To enable the Ship to Store feature:
18+
19+

20+
2. Locate the **Show Request Transfer** toggle.
21+

## 2. Requesting a Transfer
28+
29+
If you cannot fulfill a BOPIS order from your own inventory, you can initiate a transfer request.
30+
31+
**Steps:**
32+
33+
1. **Locate the Order:** Navigate to the order you need to transfer. The **Request Transfer** button is available on both the **Order Card** (list view) and the **Order Detail** view.
34+
2. **Click Request Transfer:** Select the button to begin the process.
35+
* *Important:* This button replaces the standard "Reject" button when the feature is enabled.
36+
3. **Confirm the Action:** A confirmation dialog will appear. Confirm that you want to move this order to Ship to Store.
37+
38+
**Post-Request Workflow:**
39+
40+
* The order moves to the **Store Pickup Rejected** queue.
41+
* The system includes an automated brokering logic to route the order to a fulfillment store or warehouse.
42+
* You can track the status of these requested orders by clicking the **History/Trail icon** in the top right corner of the page.
43+

46+
## 3. Fulfilling the Request (Fulfillment App)
47+
48+
*This section applies to the warehouse or store fulfilling the transfer request.*
49+
50+
When you receive a Ship to Store order in your fulfillment queue:
51+
52+
1. **Pick and Pack:** Process the order items as per standard operating procedures.
53+
2. **Select Carrier:** When generating the shipping label, the carrier list is automatically filtered.
54+
* You will only see carriers that support the `SHIP_TO_STORE` shipment method.
55+
* This prevents shipping errors and ensures the package is routed correctly.
56+
3. **Ship:** Complete the shipment steps. The package is now en route to the requesting store.

Once the order is downloaded, HotWax Commerce categorizes it as a "Ship to Store" order and brokers it to a facility from where the inventory will be shipped to the pickup location. After a fulfillment location has been designated, store employees can use the following steps to monitor and fulfill `Ship to Store` orders:
67+
When the physical shipment arrives, locate the order in this tab and label it **Arrived**. A notification is sent to the customer informing them that their order is now available for pickup, and the order moves to the **Ready for Pickup** tab.
