How to Implement No Contact Delivery for Magento 2 Stores to Avoid COVID-19 Spread

The year 2020 start has been a topsy turvy with coronavirus outspread bringing disruptions in the world. People are self-distancing and preferring to stay home.

These changes in customer engagement in COVID-19 have impacted all the sectors, be it education, business, lifestyle, or entertainment. There is no doubt that we can survive without a luxurious lifestyle or take online education approach. But people are facing difficulties to purchase essential items such as groceries, vegetables, and medicines.

However, to overcome these difficulties, entrepreneurs have adopted an advanced delivery platform so that customers can buy products with the utmost safety rules and get them delivered at their doorsteps.  

We cannot do without the “essentials”

Also, we cannot leave the safety of our home!

Hence, rightly said by Shree Narendra Modi, “Today, the world is in pursuit of new business models.”

The groceries, food items, medicines, etc. can be purchased online. People are preferring online shopping over the traditional purchase process, now more than ever.

What is No Contact Delivery in Ecommerce:

Although online shopping can allow consumers to practice social distancing, it has loopholes.

Also, the health of delivery persons is concerned.

The solution to these issues was initiated by brands like Starbucks and Swiggy. And that is “no contact delivery”

It works something like this:

Customers place an order from Magento 2 store, from the safety of their homes:

The order is delivered at the clean surface:

The social distancing of at least 6 feet is maintained while delivering the order:

Doing so, we can achieve the win-win situation for consumers as well as the businesses!
