What is WooCommerce?<\/span><\/h2>\n

WooCommerce<\/u><\/a> is an open-source plugin for small and large businesses that run an online shop using the WordPress CMS. With over 5 million active installations since its launch in 2011, WooCommerce is the most popular e-commerce plugin on WordPress.<\/p>\n

The future of the platform looks promising!<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to data from Insider Intelligence<\/u><\/a>, e-commerce turnover is expected to increase and should total\u00a0$5.7 trillion\u00a0worldwide in 2022. The new trends in e-commerce are encouraging more and more professionals to turn their physical shop into an online shop. The new directors and managers of e-commerce sites often decide to organise deliveries in-house.<\/p>\n

WooCommerce x AntsRoute: make it easier to organise your deliveries!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Thanks to our plugin for WooCommerce, we help managers of an e-commerce website to make it easier to organise deliveries. In concrete terms, as soon as orders are validated from the WordPress interface, the data is automatically sent to AntsRoute to schedule deliveries. But, following requests from our users, we wanted to offer your customers the possibility to directly choose a delivery date and time slot when validating their order. So we did it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let your customers choose a delivery date and time slot<\/span><\/h2>\n

The new version of the plugin offers 2 working methods:<\/p>\n

Let your customers choose the delivery date and time slot<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first working method of the WooCommerce by AntsRoute plugin allows your customers to choose the delivery date and time slot before proceeding to payment, with prior check of availability and automated sending of orders to AntsRoute.<\/p>\n

Note<\/u>: To learn more about this mode, please read our support article<\/u><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t let your customers choose the delivery date and time slot<\/span><\/h3>\n

Thanks to this working mode of the plugin, you can send WooCommerce orders manually or automatically to AntsRoute. However, your customers do not have the possibility to choose the delivery date and time slot.<\/p>\n

Note<\/u>: To learn more about this mode, please read our support article<\/u><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

How does our plugin for WooCommerce work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Step 1<\/strong>: To get started, you need to install the \u201cWooCommerce Local Delivery Date Picker & Time Slots by AntsRoute\u201d plugin on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong>: In order to manage the quantities of items that can be carried by your different vehicles, you must create the \u201cNumber\u201d and \u201cWeight\u201d capacities in AntsRoute.<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/strong>: In your AntsRoute account, you can add custom fields allowing you to upload information from WooCommerce to the AntsRoute route optimization platform: price and description of the item; payment method; currency used; payment receipt.<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/strong>: During this step, you need to retrieve an API key from your AntsRoute account in order to connect the route optimization platform to WooCommerce.<\/p>\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Go to your WordPress account to set up the \u201cWooCommerce Local Delivery Date Picker & Time Slots by AntsRoute\u201d plugin. In the WooCommerce plugin, you can now access the \u201cAntsRoute\u201d tab. From this page, you can choose one of the two working methods mentioned above.
