Pay at Pickup
Vendors can now accept payment at pickup. Shoppers see a Pay-at-Pickup option at checkout per vendor, subject to vendor approval and a per-customer spending cap. Order emails, the vendor dashboard, and the printed pickup sheets all reflect the new payment method.
Pay at Pickup is a way for shoppers to settle their order in person rather than by credit card at checkout — useful for folks who'd rather not share card details online, or who simply prefer to pay cash on the day. For vendors and farmers, it also sidesteps the credit-card processing fee on those orders, which adds up quickly on small, market-style transactions.
There's some trust involved, so the feature comes with guard rails. Each vendor opts in, sets a per-customer spending cap (default $15), and approves a shopper the first time they choose Pay at Pickup at checkout. Once approved, that shopper defaults to Pay at Pickup with that vendor on future orders, and the vendor can revoke at any time.
On the pickup day, the customer order sheet, print list, and labels clearly mark pay-at-pickup orders, so vendors can see at a glance which ones still need to be paid.
This feature is available on the Standard plan.
What changed
Vendor opt-in and spending cap
A toggle on the vendor profile enables Pay at Pickup, and a configurable per-customer spending cap (default $15) limits the outstanding balance any one shopper can carry into pickup.
Pay-at-Pickup option at checkout
Shoppers see a per-vendor toggle in the checkout payment plan. The submit button flips between "Pay-at-Pickup" and "Pay-with-Card". The shopper's name and email is still required at checkout for fulfillment purposes.
Approval remembered per vendor
Once a vendor approves a shopper, future orders for that vendor default to Pay at Pickup at checkout.
Vendor approvals tab
A new Orders → "Pay at Pickup" tab shows pending and approved requests with a live pending-count badge. Vendors can approve, decline, or revoke from a confirmation dialog.
Pay-at-Pickup marked on print sheets and labels
The customer order sheet, the print list, and the labels each show an inline "PAY AT PICKUP — $X.XX" badge and a bold "Collect $X at pickup" line, with a per-location tally at the bottom of the sheet. The vendor online order dashboard also reflects the status of the payment.
Pay-at-Pickup guard rail
Shoppers are limited to purchase items up to the spending cap for a particular pickup day. For example, a shopper cannot make 3 separate $15 dollar orders as a way to bypass the spending limit. The system calculates the total spent before accepting a new order. So the shopper will be forced to use a credit card above the spending cap limit.
