Store Checkout Process: here’s what the guest experience looks like

Step 2: Guests Choose Their Fulfillment Method
Here, your guests choose (if more than one fulfillment option is available) whether they want to pick their order up or have it delivered.
For catering orders, guests are required to enter their address to see if delivery is available. (Their address must fall within one of your delivery zones.)
Option 1: Local Delivery
This fulfillment method is for items that can be delivered locally. This is primarily used for Catering Store items, but can also be used for regular store items.
