@zenweasel Lmk what you think about this ticket, happy to break it up. Also, let me know if there's anything I may have missed in terms of the scope we discussed yesterday

Myself and @zenweasel had a discussion around the requirements. I just wanted to clarify on "Fulfillment Methods" mentioned as an attribute of the Location. Are we referring to FulfillmentType here?

Below is my understanding, please correct if something is not right.
Say for example, at the shop-level we have defined one fulfillment-type (shipping) and few fulfillment-methods are defined under this type. Now, if we have location-type as 'warehouse', then this would translate into "shipping" as the fulfillment-type and all the fulfillment-methods under the fulfillment-type defined at the shop-level will be by default available in this location.

Hi @sujithvn Can you give me an example of a fulfillment-method in your example where location-type = warehouse and fulfillment-type = shipping? I think we are mostly aligned but want to make sure I'm understanding.

@brendan-shea-pm

As per the initial fulfillment-type implement, example would be

fft-type [ex Shipping] -> fft-methods [flat-rate, dynamic-rate]
fft-type [expickup] -> fft-methods [in-store, kerb-side]

Meanwhile, I received the update from your discussion with @zenweasel and my question above was before that.

[brendan-shea-pm]

Ok yes we're aligned, thanks @sujithvn

Updated the ticket to reflect the fulfillment method / type distinction. Also noted that enabling the method for a location should be part of the requirement, will go into this more in Store Pickup but wanted to give a heads up. This will give operators the option, as an example, to only offer In Store pickup at a location and not Curbside.

Updated the ticket to reflect the decision to have one fft-type per location

Hey @sujithvn I made some updates to reflect that Fulfillment Methods at each location can have different versions of certain attributes (Pickup Instructions, Store Pickup Hours, Expected Pickup Time) based on fulfillment method. So for example, a single store Location will have a set of Pickup Instructions related to its In Store Pickup fulfillment method, but a separate set of Pickup Instructions for their Curbside Pickup fulfillment method.

This functionality is more related to Store Pickup, but I figured it would be better to capture it here with the rest of the Location specific attributes.
