๐ฅช Gemaksmodules โ
A gemaksmodule (convenience module) is a product category with its own shipping rules, such as a Lunchservice that delivers sandwiches within 45 minutes. Stores opt in to the modules they want to offer.
How it works โ
- E-com team sets the category type to Convenience in the admin portal. The default type is Groceries.
- Store owners see all convenience categories in the Store Hub and add the ones they want to offer.
- Per module, per store, the store owner configures pickup and delivery separately:
- Preparation time (in minutes)
- Time window (from / until)
- Weekdays
- Customers get time slots at checkout that respect these rules.
Why a different preparation time? โ
Regular groceries use the store's default preparation time. A convenience module replaces it. For example, a lunch service with a 45-minute preparation time can offer a slot sooner than the default allows.
| Setting | Groceries (default) | Lunchservice (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation time | Store default (e.g. 2 hours) | 45 minutes |
| Time window | Store opening hours | e.g. 11:00 โ 14:00 |
Mixed shopping carts โ
- If every category in the cart is a convenience module enabled by the store, only the module rules apply.
- If the cart also contains regular groceries (or a module the store did not enable), the store's default preparation time applies as well. The customer gets the slots that satisfy all rules.
Postal codes โ
Delivery is limited to the store's delivery areas (postal code ranges), which can be narrowed further per delivery slot. This means a store can deliver close by only, instead of the whole city.
โ ๏ธ Postal codes are currently set per store and slot, not per convenience module. A module can't have its own, smaller delivery area yet.
Good to know โ
- A category can't be switched back to Groceries while any store has it enabled.
- Dark stores can use their own module settings or inherit those of their parent store.
- Weekdays can be saved per module, but they are not yet applied when calculating slots.
