Speed and reliability in a few clicks: Integration of GLS pick-up points on e-shop platforms

Speed has become a key variable in all aspects of life and society. Consumers expect fast and reliable service. That's why the integration of the GLS pick-up point map on Shoptet, Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce and other e-shop solutions is ready literally in a few clicks.

 

Do you know what the AlzaBox effect means?

Clearly naming both delivery methods in your shopping cart will guarantee credibility in the eyes of customers. The ability to choose delivery of goods either to an address or to a pick-up point will increase the likelihood of successful completion of the purchase in your e-shop.

The postscript "including AlzaBoxes" tells the customer that they can send the goods to a parcel locker with GLS and use the most popular delivery method. This effect works to such an extent that customers are willing to accept a slightly higher shipping price.
