Description
Problem Statement
MSI modules enable merchant to manage product inventory across different sources (werehouses, stores, pickup locations etc),maintain quantities for sales and handle shipments to complete orders. PWA Studio doesn't support the product stock across multiple sources and doesn't provide the option to select a pickup location as a delivery method.
Desired State
- Support the aggregated product salable quantities
- Prevent concurrent checkout
- Allow selecting source as a pickup location during checkout
Business Value
Shoppers can pick up orders from the selected source set as a pickup location. Providing this functionality allows the merchant to reduce TCO and go live faster. PWA enables using GPS data from the mobile device to suggest the closest pickup location - this is a PWA specific feature that adds value to traditional MSI. It's also a common feature used in B2B scenario.
Cost of Delay
Clients paying for Enterprise level solutions like Adobe Commerce expect the basic table stakes features to be supported natively without customization. The need for merchants to pay a partner to get something that most of the competitors support OOB decreases Magento PWA adoption and causes clients attrition.
Use Cases
- Shopper sees product stock status based on the product virtual sellable quantity
- Shopper sees pickup option as a delivery method if at least one source set as a pickup location
- Shopper sees the nearest pickup locations first if PWA Storefront is enabled to gather GPS location from user device
- Shopper can choose a pickup location for their order
- User sees relevant order status set in Stores>Order Status ** that show when order is ready to pickup
Acceptance Criteria
- Virtual sellable quantity is displayed only if non default source is set
- Pickup location available if In-Store Delivery is enabled ( Stores > Settings > Configuration> Sales > Delivery Methods)
