The second one is the delivery to the point of issue when the Seller delivers the order to the nearest to the Buyer point of delivery, and the Buyer himself takes his order at the issuing point specified by him.
The third one is the delivery by courier when the Seller or the Buyer uses a third party (couriers, delivery service or logistics company) to deliver the order.

Since Sellers and Buyers can be in different parts of the country or even in different countries, we recommend to use different ways of payment. The most popular for small Sellers method of cash payment will be inconvenient for numerous City Buyers who do not have enough time to come and pay money on their own. At the same time, such Buyers would make a purchase without any problems paying with a bank card or making a transfer to the electronic wallet of the Seller. And legal entities, such as restaurants, cafes, shops should be able to pay from the settlement account of their company.
