Amazon Shipping Deliver to Counter for WooCommerce

This document outlines how to integrate Amazon Shipping Deliver to Counter service with your WooCommerce store using the WooCommerce Shipping Services Plugin. This feature allows customers to select a pickup point at a nearby counter (e.g., post office or courier facility) for added convenience and security.

Overview of Deliver to Counter

Deliver to Counter enables packages to be delivered to a secure counter rather than directly to the customer’s address. It provides flexibility for customers who are unavailable for doorstep delivery and ensures better security by reducing the risk of theft. It’s also useful when there are address issues.

Advantages

• Flexible Pickup: Customers can choose a convenient pickup location.
• Increased Security: Reduced theft risk by storing packages at a secure counter.
• Cost-Effective: Often cheaper than doorstep delivery, especially in remote areas.
• Reduced Delivery Failures: Solves issues with incorrect addresses or unavailable recipients.

Steps to Enable Amazon Shipping Deliver to Counter on your WooCommerce Store
