How do I add a call button to my online store?

In Pludor, go to Settings > Store Profile, enter your contact phone number, and enable the Call Button, then save. The button appears on your storefront so customers can tap to call you. This is included on every plan, including the free one.

How do I show my shop location on a map for customers?

Add your business address in Settings > Store Profile and turn on the Map Button. Customers then see a map button on your storefront that takes them to your location. On Pludor this takes about a minute and works on the free plan.

How can I let customers pick up their order locally instead of paying for delivery?

In your store settings, look for a local pickup option and switch it on. On Pludor, tick Allow Local Pickup in Settings > Store Profile and save - customers can then choose pickup at checkout, and you mark orders as ready for pickup in the Orders area.

I run a home service business - how do I collect the customer's address when they book online?

You need a checkout or booking tool that captures the service address. Pludor has a built-in Home Service Provider option: tick it in Settings > Store Profile and the customer's service address is captured automatically at checkout, so you know where to go.

Is it free to add call, map and pickup options to my store?

On Pludor, yes - every feature is on for every store, including the Free plan at $0 with no item limit. You only pay for what you use past the monthly free amounts, and new stores get 500 free credits. Note that paid online orders carry a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90, deducted before payout.

What's the difference between local pickup and home service options?

Local pickup means the customer comes to you - they collect the order at your shop. Home service means you go to the customer, so you need their address; the Home Service Provider option captures it automatically at checkout. On Pludor you can enable either or both in Settings > Store Profile.

Do I need a separate app for a click-to-call button on my storefront?

Not if you use a platform with it built in. On Pludor, the Call Button is part of Store Profile - just add your phone number and enable it, no app or extra subscription needed. On builders like Shopify or Wix this typically requires an app.

How do I set up a small online store where customers can call me or visit my shop?

Your store also gets listed in the Pludor marketplace for extra discovery.

Can the call button work with an AI receptionist so I don't miss calls?

Yes. On Pludor you can enable the Call Button for customers and also turn on AI Answering, which answers calls, texts and chats using your business hours, prices and services. Callers can even be booked into your calendar automatically, and everything lands in one unified inbox. The first 100 AI replies and 10 calls a month are free.
