Getting Started - General Settings for Pickup Slot
In the "Store Pickup and Local Delivery" module, a pickup slot is a designated period during which a customer can collect their order from a store. Configuring these slots accurately ensures that both your store and customers have a clear understanding of when orders can be picked up, enhancing the overall shopping experience.
