A reason to choose local
An everyday essential, without another trip
A nearby customer needs an everyday item but cannot get to your shop. Your OpenCart store already handles the purchase. A local delivery workflow could connect that purchase to a prepared parcel, provided the order status, shipping option and collection details are all clear. For a small team, keeping these decisions simple matters as much as speed.
For OpenCart merchants, the useful starting point is shipping zones, the order state that means ready to send and a dependable collection routine. A focused pilot should test the whole handover before it becomes a customer-facing promise.
Built around the way you sell
What a useful local workflow should solve
Keep your team focused on the shop
A coordinated collection could help avoid ad hoc staff delivery runs. Agree who packs the order, where a driver would collect it and how readiness would be communicated.
Design for a clear customer experience
Plan how a OpenCart sale would connect to the recipient, tracking and follow-up.
From order to handover
Deliver OpenCart orders through the console.
Start serving individual local OpenCart orders through the RentADriver console while the native connector is planned. Your shop continues taking payment and managing purchases as usual. A staff member transfers a ready order into a delivery request and keeps its reference with the sale, creating a straightforward routine without rebuilding the checkout.
- 01
Make the counter-to-collection routine clear
Choose the shop address where parcels will be waiting and decide who will hand them over. Review your OpenCart shipping zones before describing a local offer to customers. Allow enough time to find stock, pack the order and verify the recipient, particularly when one person handles both online orders and the counter.
- Check coverage for the pickup and intended destination.
- Agree who packs, books and hands over the parcel.
- Keep accurate package information ready for the quote.
- 02
Review the purchase, then enter the parcel
Check payment and your shop's order-status rules in OpenCart before opening a delivery request. Enter the pickup and destination in the console, add recipient contact details and describe the actual package. If you use custom status names, make the dispatch checklist explicit so staff know which orders are ready.
- Review the quote and available delivery funds before confirming.
- Include access instructions that help the collection and handover.
- Check existing bookings before submitting the same order again.
- 03
Answer delivery questions from a shared reference
The console provides the delivery record and tracking link for the journey you book. Keep the reference with the OpenCart purchase and share tracking through your usual customer messages. Update your order history separately when you have reviewed the outcome, so the next staff member can understand what happened without repeating the booking.
- Use the tracking record to answer progress questions.
- Keep any customer updates connected to the original purchase.
- Contact support with the delivery reference when help is needed.
The customer fee and the delivery cost
Set any customer shipping charge in OpenCart as a separate commercial choice. Review the console quote before booking, and account for packaging and staff preparation time when deciding which baskets qualify for a local offer.

Keep the day running smoothly
The details that make delivery easier.
The order was paid outside the website
Confirm payment through the process your shop already uses before dispatch. A telephone conversation or an order marked new is not a substitute for that check.
The customer is outside your intended area
Check coverage and the actual quote before accepting the delivery promise. Offer a different arrangement when the route does not fit the service your shop can provide.
You use several shipping extensions
List the OpenCart version and extensions when discussing the future connector. Explain how a local order is identified today and which history notes your team relies on.
Merchant questions
Before you get started
Can I connect OpenCart today?
A native OpenCart integration is not available for self-service setup. Register your interest to discuss the workflow you need and hear about testing when it opens.
Can I explore delivery before the connector launches?
You can check RentADriver coverage and discuss standalone booking or an API-based workflow with our team. Those are separate from a native platform integration and require their own setup.
What should I include in my enquiry?
Include your OpenCart version, shipping extensions and any custom order-status rules, your collection area and typical order sizes. Describe what should trigger delivery and where your team would need to see its progress.
