Greetings:
The biggest challenge of my store is going to be customizing the checkout process.
My store's checkout process is unique in that items ordered from my store are not shipped to the customer's home address (or any other address that they provide)...instead, the orders are shipped to a store location.
Information on the stores (addresses, phone numbers, etc) are stored in the database (I'm actually using the 'Manufacturers', just treating them as 'Stores'). During the checkout process, I need to require that the customer select a store nearby. Obviously, depending on where they live there might be multiple stores nearby, and they will have to choose one.
So, the challenge I'm faced with is trying to incorporate some sort of "Store Locator" functionality into my checkout process.
I've searched for nopCommerce plugins that might accomplish, but I've not had much luck in finding anything that suits my needs perfectly.
If you are aware of a good approach I might take I would appreciate it if you could share it with me. Any advice, insights, links to other sites would be much appreciated.
For what it's worth, I really like this store locator (7-11 stores): http://www.7-eleven.com/locator.aspx
Do you think there is a way for me to capture the store location my customer chooses and insert that selection into the checkout form?
Thanks in advance.
Josh
