Will Call

Will Call is a pickup feature separate from the Click & Collect features in EvolutionX. To read more about if you should use Will Call or Click & Collect, continue here for examples of the uses of each. It is used by Distributors using the TIMS ERP integration.

Enabling Branch Finder Features to the Store

This is a pre-release feature and must be enabled for your store by our EvolutionX staff. Ask our team to add the branch-finder-collection pre-release and the pickup pre-release to your store.

Enabling the branch-finder-collection and pickup to your store so will enable:

  • public preview settings per branch

  • setting inventory locations per branch for collection

  • in-store pickup toggle per branch

  • NOTE: Click and collect features will also be added but should not be enabled, including:

    • collection & forward delivery toggle per branch

    • collection slots configurations per branch
