How to Set Up a Delivery & Pickup Store

1

  • Store name
  • Store description
  • Website
  • Logo
  • Social links
  • Store address
  • Contact details

Set Opening Hours

Enable Pickup and Delivery

Go to Store Settings > Operations.Under fulfilment settings, choose whether this store should accept:
  • Pickup orders
  • Delivery orders
  • Both pickup and delivery
Pickup and delivery can be enabled separately, depending on how your venue operates.For the full setup steps, see:Save your changes once updated.

Set Up Pre-orders

6

Create or Sync Your Menu

Set up the menu customers will order from.For standalone stores, you can create your menu in storekit.For integrated stores, your menu may need to be created or synced from your POS or integration partner.Make sure your menu is accurate before going live, including:
  • Categories
  • Items
  • Prices
  • Modifiers
  • Availability
7

Activate Payments

Go to Store Settings > Payments and activate storekit Payments.You may need to submit business, owner, and bank details before payments can be approved.Customers can only pay online once payments have been activated.

Set Up Delivery Zones

If your store accepts delivery orders, go to Store Settings > Delivery Zones.Delivery zones control where you deliver and can include delivery fees or minimum order values depending on your setup.You can create delivery zones using options such as:
  • Driving distance
  • Polygon
  • Circle
  • Postcode
9

Place a Test Order

Before going live, place a test order to confirm the customer journey works as expected.Check that:
  • The correct fulfilment options appear at checkout
  • Pickup and delivery slots are available
  • Menu items and prices are correct
  • Payment is working
  • The order appears in the storekit order dashboard
  • Any connected POS, printer, or integration receives the order correctly
    Use a real card for testing - you’ll receive the funds and can refund the test order afterwards. Test payments process the same as real orders.

Share Your Store

Once the store is ready, share your store URL or QR code with customers.You can use your store URL on your website, social media, email campaigns, or printed materials.
11

Go Live

When setup and testing are complete, enable the store so customers can start placing orders.

​
Integrated Stores

If your store is connected to a POS or integration partner, some setup steps may happen outside storekit. For example:
  • Menus may need to be created or published from your POS
  • Orders may print from your POS printer
  • Delivery partners may need separate configuration
  • Item availability or pricing may be controlled by the integration
Check the integration setup before going live.
Pickup and delivery are enabled from Store Settings > Operations. You can enable either option individually or use both together.
Place a test order before going live to confirm orders are received correctly in storekit and any connected POS, printer, or integration.
For integrated stores, some menu, printing, and order settings may be controlled by your POS or integration partner rather than storekit.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Customers cannot choose pickup or delivery

Check that the fulfilment type is enabled under Store Settings > Operations. Also check your opening hours and pre-order settings if customers are trying to order for a future time.

​
Customers cannot place delivery orders

Check that delivery is enabled under Store Settings > Operations. If delivery zones are configured, make sure the customer’s address is covered by an active delivery zone. If no delivery zones are configured, customers may be able to place delivery orders from any address, depending on your store setup. Also check your opening hours and pre-order settings if customers are trying to place an order for a future time.

​
Orders are not printing or reaching the POS

Check whether the store is integrated with a POS or order partner. For integrated stores, test orders should be checked in both storekit and the connected POS or integration system.
