Is your online store ready for peak season?

12.10.2025

The holiday shopping peak begins in November and lasts until Christmas. Now is the perfect time to make sure your online store is fully prepared for the busiest period of the year. Have you checked everything below? 

Keep your courier pickup schedule aligned with peak demand  During peak season, parcel volumes rise. Since handover happens via courier pickup, review your usual schedule – frequency, pickup days and cut-off times.  If needed, increase pickup frequency or add extra pickups on high-volume days to avoid delays and maintain next-day delivery.  If you already have a standing schedule, confirm it still fits your 2025 peak season forecast. Contact us to adjust the setup. 

Warehouse service pricing depends on volume 

If your current warehouse capacity is limited or daily logistics (receiving, packing, shipping) take too much time from sales and development, it might be time to outsource warehouse services.  Our warehouse pricing is based on working hours and space used, so costs adjust depending on whether it’s peak season or a quieter period.  Explore our e-fulfilment service.  

Have all shopping cart modules been integrated? 

API and plugin integrations automate your online store – saving time and improving the customer experience. With API integrations, you can easily add SmartPosti delivery options, courier service, and shipment tracking to your checkout.
