Meeting point and pickup locations are one of the most important pieces of information for customers. Having unclear or inaccurate location details may mean your product is quality failed or, if it passes the quality check process, may result in customer complaints.
A meeting point is defined as: A specific place where you meet customers before an activity.
Pickup can be by vehicle or on foot, and the pickup place depends on your preference. You can specify whether you’ll pick up from an area or provide a list of addresses, which may not necessarily be from the customer’s accommodation.
