Click and Collect notification
under review

We need a notification for click and collect orders at the pos, yes you can run back office reports and get picklists and you can get email notifications, but unless you are checking emails every 10 minutes you are not going to see it. Many times i have had a customer walk in after placeing a click+collect order and we didnt even know we had it,
My suggestion is to have a pop up at pos, ideally this can be actioned by clicking on it which can produce a pickticked time stamped and logged with cashier name so that member of staff can take ownership of the order

This might be of interest, its come from an external developer who has been working with one of our clients https://cloudposmarketplace.com/all-apps/fast-notifications-when-your-store-gets-click-and-collect-and-ecommerce-orders/
There is a free trial for those wanting a play around.
We still see us adding to the core product in this area, but we're slammed with POS 2.0 backoffice and are working on Workshop 2.0.
Also the messaging on the emails which says 'immediate pickup' is removed in the upcoming checkout V4 release. NOTE you need to use Chrome to make this work as it relies on a Chrome Addin.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime looks pretty good, would still prefer something to be integrated as managing 50+ machines can be time consuming!

Richard Twinn: I concur I'm not sure if you can deploy the Chrome Addin with policy? There is a single shared app key which needs entering into the Chrome App. We don't currently have a way for external developers to install HTML code and scripts into the POS frontend, so thats the only option at the moment. This addin has started that debate here, but we don't see a quick fix for that.

The ability to send click/collect order notifications to multiple email addresses would be nice too!

We really need some kind of pop up in CloudPOS / Backoffice the will tell the staff there's a new Click and Collect order to be processed. it will greatly help customer satisfaction telling them their order is ready seconds after they've placed the order.
it will also avoid the 'forgetting to look at outlook'. you have a pop up for POS 2.0 for the tutorial. can you do something similar/use that for new C+C orders?
having it integrated would solve a lot of problems for us and the customer!

Once Backoffice 2.0 is completed we plan to implement a system for preparing and notifying customers when C&C orders are ready. This will include prompts in the till when orders arrive.

We would also find this helpful.
We're currently looking into better communication methods between our shop and the warehouse - I want everything to plug into our main system and not use third party stuff, so this would be great.

Totally agree, it’s how the likes of Screwfix work, an instant (and in their case audible) notification of an order coming through.

From a multi-store perspective it is even more of a faff since we might sell something in our smaller Beddgelert shop that only has one member of staff, where our warehouse/customer service team don't spot it.
Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime
This is defiantly something we have plans for as Cloud POS 2.0 user interface beds in. We're going to build a general notifications engine into the POS and backoffice, which will definitely cover C&C orders, we are really excited by the idea.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime: Travelled to Canny to check on the progress of this as the team raised it this week. They noticed notifications for other things are now popping up in 2.0. Hope this gets worked on soon.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime we have fallen short this week to two click and collects that were not in stock and customers had traveled to us. one item missing and one item was damaged and the last one. Why cant we edit the text, or at least turn off the message that says its ready before we have eyes on the product? After that we are thinking about turning off the service until the messaging is improved.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime Given that payment notifications are now a thing can Click & Collects behave in the same way?

In pos.citruslime.com/posux/pos.aspx is it possible to add Click and Collect into the WorkOrder Column? We have the same issue. Customers place C&C and expect it to be ready for collection straight away. There is STILL some message the customer get that says Your Order is Now Ready to Collect - which it isn't. Thanks

I also agree that as soon as you log on to pos, any orders that come through, pop up so you can action them . We don't all have time to sit on emails.
