Shops that used to sell in-store only need other options for making sales so they can survive while in-person shopping is restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One option that\u2019s gaining ground is curbside pickup. Many grocery stores and restaurants have ramped up curbside service in recent weeks, and other retailers are starting to follow their lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you live in an area without restrictions on in-store shopping, adding curbside pickup can be a smart move. That\u2019s because you, your employees and your customers may not feel safe spending time in stores yet. More than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/policy-and-politics\/2020\/4\/14\/21220511\/most-americans-wont-venture-out-social-distancing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">70% of Americans say they\u2019ll wait<\/a> to see if lifted restrictions cause a resurgence before they resume regular activities like in-store shopping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you set up curbside pickup for your business? There are three steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Find the tools you need to take curbside orders securely.<\/li><li>Plan for how customers will place curbside pickup orders.<\/li><li>Plan for how you and your employees will fulfill curbside orders safely.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s walk through each step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create 'curbside pickup'\u009d options in your ordering process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To take curbside orders, you need a way for customers who order online to choose the curbside option. You may also want to give customers the option to phone in their orders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about each process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enable curbside pickup in your online store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already sell items online for local delivery or shipping, you should be able to <strong>adjust your eCommerce platform\u2019s shipping settings to add curbside pickup <\/strong>as an option for some or all of your in-stock items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(If you don\u2019t already have eCommerce on your business website, start with these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/how-to-start-online-store\/\">12 steps to get your online store up<\/a> and running quickly, then come back here to set up your curbside tools.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.woocommerce.com\/document\/local-pickup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">if you\u2019re using WooCommerce<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to the <strong>Shipping<\/strong> section under <strong>Settings<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Find your local shipping zone.

If you have a lot of customers who\u2019d rather call than click for curbside pickup, you\u2019ll need a plan to set up a phone order program that works smoothly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things to know about taking orders over the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Phone orders take time.<\/strong> Make sure you have enough employees on hand to answer the phone, fulfill orders and carry packages out to your customers.<\/li><li><strong>Phone orders cost more to process.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/online-payment-methods-ecommerce\/\">Payment processors<\/a> charge more for transactions where the card data is keyed in at the point of sale instead of dipping or tapping the card. For example, Square charges 2.6% + 10 cents per swipe, tap or dip but 3.5% + 15 cents per keyed-in orders. Check with your processor and adjust your pricing and fees if you need to.<\/li><li><strong>Phone orders require some paperwork.<\/strong> You\u2019re required to collect basic information like the card number, the name on the card, the expiration date and billing address. For fraud prevention, you should also ask for the 3-digit security code on the back of the card. Visa also recommends that merchants record a phone number, the date and time of the call and some notes about the call, in case the customer questions the charge later. Keep all this information in one place so you can access it quickly later.<\/li><li><strong>Phone order data must be stored securely and only for as long as it\u2019s needed.<\/strong> To reduce the risk of a data breach that exposes customer payment data, don\u2019t store entire card numbers in your order database, and encrypt other personal information. Limit the number of employees who can access the data and delete it completely after the charge-dispute window has closed.<\/li><li><strong>Phone orders are vulnerable to fraud.<\/strong> These transactions should be screened by your eCommerce or point-of-sale fraud prevention service, if possible, before you fulfill the orders.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let customers know how to pick up their curbside orders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think through the most efficient, lowest-contact way you can get orders into customers\u2019 vehicles. You may want customers to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pull up to your drive through window and give their name or order number.<\/li><li>Park in your lot or on the street and reply to your pickup reminder text or email.<\/li><li>Park in your lot and call your pickup number.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind customers to stay in their cars and open the trunk remotely, if possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Train your employees to fulfill curbside orders safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect your employees and customers, the people taking orders out to cars should wear face masks and gloves. Remind your team to&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Watch for incoming texts, emails and calls from customers outside.<\/li><li>Verify the customer\u2019s name or order number.<\/li><li>Place items in the back of the vehicle.<\/li><li>Stand at least 6 feet away while talking to customers through their open car windows.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Close trunks and hatchbacks fully so customers don\u2019t have to get out and adjust.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it!
