Feature · Click & collect
You probably don't need an online shop. You might need this.
Full e-commerce means stock counts, postage pricing and packaging Tuesdays. Click and collect is the honest middle ground: order ahead, pay online, pick it up at the counter.
What it does for the till
It captures the orders that already want to happen — the birthday cake, the Christmas hamper, the Sunday joint, the office lunch run — and takes payment upfront, so 'ordered but never collected' stops costing you stock.
It smooths the rush: pre-orders are made-ahead work you can schedule, not a queue at the counter. And it sells your top items around the clock without turning your business into a warehouse.
If genuine delivery e-commerce is ever the right move, this is its foundation — start with collection, grow if the orders demand it. Most don't need to, and it would be dishonest to sell you otherwise.
See it working
The Melin Onnen farm shop demo runs a full click-and-collect flow — pick a hamper, choose a collection slot, and walk the checkout. It's a real payment integration in test mode, clearly labelled, with a test card printed on the page.
