How to enable local pickup in your store

You can set up the option for customers to pick up their online orders at your retail store, curbside, or any location that you choose.

To do this, enable the local pickup option for each location where customers can go to get their orders.

The shipping rate for local pickup is set to Free and can’t be changed.

Each pickup order requires you or a staff member to verify that each item is in stock. After you verify each item, you can send a notification to the customer that the order is ready. You can also print a pickup slip to attach to the order.

When a customer comes to get their order, you need to change the order status within Shopify from unfulfilled to fulfilled. This signals to you and your staff that the order has been picked up and no further action is required.

You can add pickup delivery instructions by managing the preferences for your pickup locations. For example, you can use pickup to offer curb-side pickup. After a customer places an order online and arrives at your store, you can have them call you and then you can bring their order out to them.

Eligibility #

If your store has multiple locations, then to use the pickup option you need to have multi-origin shipping activated.

Before setting up local pickup #

ou need to complete the following before you can offer local pickup:

• Verify that the fulfillment priority order for your online orders is set up to meet your business needs.
• Stock inventory at each pickup location.
• Disable any pickup apps.
• Ensure that each person who is preparing items for pickup or marking orders as picked up has access to your Shopify admin.
• Update any location names so that customers can understand where to go to pickup their order.
• Let each pickup location fulfill online orders.
  
  By default, letting a location fulfill online orders also means that non-pickup online orders can take inventory from your pickup or retail locations. Make sure that you review your fulfillment priority and modify it if necessary. If the Continue selling when out of stock option is selected for a product, then local pickup orders can be placed for locations without inventory.
  
  You can also set up a location to fulfill pickup orders only.
