  ENDLESS AISLE / STAFF ORDER  PROCESS FLOW

Endless Aisle / Staff Order

There are situations where products are not available in local stores or a home delivery is preferred. In order to offer customers this kind of flexibility it is possible to make an online order for products that are out of stock or for products where a home delivery is preferred. This use case is called Endless Aisle or Staff Order. The PAYONE Commerce Platform supports you with a simple integration for the Checkout via self service or after consultation in the local store.

Process flow

High-level summary:

  • Customer selects products in the local store.
  • Relevant data (shipping address, contact details) are submitted from the merchant system to the Commerce Platform.
  • Payment can be done e.g. via payment link, PAYONE Secured Direct Debit, PAYONE Secured Invoice etc.
  • No payment required at the cash register/terminal.
  • No integration of a card terminal necessary (but also possible).
  • Payment status is visible in the Commerce Platform and Commerce Portal.
  • All relevant information for delivery can be retrieved from the Commerce Platform or Commerce Portal.
  • If the products are ready for delivery, the deliver / capture can be done.
