Dominican Foundation - partner in the business focused on books and accessories

The Dominican Foundation is based in Cracow and focused on promoting the learning of traditional music and singing. They organize workshops and concerts. They also run a smaller publishing house and a webshop that is focused on selling mainly books and CDs. The books include liturgical singing. In January 2024, they resigned from the brick and mortar shop and started a small WooCommerce store.

Starting point: Questions without answers

The Dominication Foundation met with Octolize at a crucial moment – while looking for a solution for the pickup points. Therefore, the following questions arose:

  1. What shipping plugin to choose?
  2. How to display various shipping providers to be easily accessible?
  3. What shipping plugin will offer the best map for pickup points?

Fundamental Shipping Issues

01

Bad UX of the plugins.

On the market, there were several plugins that offered poorly developed maps for choosing the pickup points. Furthermore, with other shipping plugins, it was possible to complete an order without choosing the right pickup point.

02

Small amount of the shipping providers.

On the market, there aren’t many solutions that offer different shipping providers together in one plugin.

“The important thing to me is displaying pickup points and the aesthetics of the map for the pickup points. Thanks to the Pickup Points plugin, we have prevented orders from being placed without a selected pickup point and, furthermore, provided the availability to choose the points from the map and list.”
