A reason to choose local

The gift that still arrives for the occasion

Prepared at your shop. Delivered to their door.

A shopper finds a birthday gift on your BigCommerce store after their usual parcel deadline has passed. The item is available locally. A same-day option can turn that stock into a useful alternative: the shopper orders from your brand, your team wraps it, and the delivery becomes part of the existing order record.

A local delivery service gives you another way to serve time-sensitive purchases. It works best when the checkout offer, packing capacity and collection window are planned together.

Built around the way you sell

What local delivery brings to BigCommerce

01

Connect delivery to fulfillment

The connector supports booking eligible paid orders and creating a BigCommerce shipment with a tracking link at pickup.

02

Start with a clear price rule

A matching flat shipping method can identify local orders. Live checkout rates depend on BigCommerce enabling the app's Shipping Provider connection.

03

Keep exceptions visible

Supported updates add order staff notes for delivery issues. Your team can use the order context when deciding what to communicate to the customer.

From order to handover

How delivery works with BigCommerce.

For a BigCommerce team, local delivery belongs beside the existing fulfillment process. The workflow starts with a shipping choice, brings eligible awaiting-fulfillment orders into review and returns a shipment with tracking. That lets customer service use the purchase record while the packing team concentrates on getting the correct parcel to collection.

  1. 01

    Define the local shipping offer

    Set your pickup, service area, preparation time and cut-off in the delivery settings. A matching flat shipping method can identify local orders. Live checkout quotes depend on the app's Shipping Provider connection being enabled. Decide which option your store will use before advertising it to nearby customers.

    • Confirm the collection address and the person responsible for handover.
    • Align maximum package size with the goods you intend to send.
    • Choose the customer fee and review delivery wallet funding.
  2. 02

    Work through awaiting-fulfillment orders

    The connector lists orders awaiting fulfillment and checks that payment is captured or paid. Review the current order before booking, especially when your team has changed its items or shipping details. The shipment workflow supports one shipping address, so resolve an order that needs a different arrangement before collection.

    • Check the recipient's delivery address rather than relying on billing details.
    • Match the packed products to the order being dispatched.
    • Review booking status before submitting another delivery request.
  3. 03

    Use the shipment as the shared reference

    At pickup, the connector creates a BigCommerce shipment carrying the RentADriver tracking link. Order completion can follow delivery when that setting is enabled. Supported staff notes provide context when something needs attention, helping sales, fulfillment and support work from the same order.

    • Find the tracking link in the shipment associated with the purchase.
    • Check the actual delivery outcome before completing follow-up work.
    • Include both order and delivery references when asking for help.

The customer fee and the delivery cost

Keep the customer shipping charge and the delivery expense visible as separate amounts in your planning. A flat fee is easy to explain, but its economics depend on the distances, package sizes and basket values your local service accepts.

Your next step

Set up your BigCommerce delivery offer

Bring your store details and a clear idea of the area you want to serve. Start small, review the full order journey and expand when your collection routine is working well.

Have these details ready

  • BigCommerce administrative access and confirmed beta installation access
  • A covered pickup location
  • A supported order with one shipping address
  • Shipping-method configuration and funds for delivery bookings

Same-day delivery depends on service coverage, order eligibility, preparation time and driver availability. A quote is an estimate; review the terms and delivery details before booking.

Beta setup

RentADriver for BigCommerce

Contact our team to confirm BigCommerce beta access and the supported installation route for your store.

Discuss beta access
Before you connect
  • Store in a launch city. Deliveries run for addresses inside your radius of a covered store — check coverage.
  • Live checkout rates use the Shipping Provider API once BigCommerce enables the connection for the app; until then a flat method named “Same-day by RentADriver” is matched.
  • Shipments with the tracking link are created at pickup; the order completes on delivery.
  • Pay per delivery from a wallet. Top up by card inside the app; review delivery costs and configured booking rules before enabling automatic bookings.

Keep the day running smoothly

The details that make delivery easier.

Live rates are not enabled yet

Use the configured flat-method approach for the local offer you have agreed. Keep the delivery area narrow enough to understand the cost of each order, and explain the customer fee clearly.

The shipping details changed

Review the latest order before booking. A different destination or product quantity can change the parcel and journey, even when the order number remains the same.

Collection cannot go ahead

Inspect the delivery state and any staff notes. Resolve missing funds or incorrect details, and contact support for a booking already in progress rather than creating an untracked replacement.

Merchant questions

Before you get started

Is there a public marketplace install?

Our team can confirm beta access and guide you through the current installation route for your BigCommerce store.

Can I show live prices at checkout?

Only when the Shipping Provider connection is enabled for the app. Until then, a matching flat shipping method can identify eligible orders, with actual delivery charges handled separately.

What appears on the order?

The connector creates a shipment with a delivery tracking link at pickup and supports completion and staff-note updates. The current shipment flow requires one shipping address.
