Setting up pickup for online orders

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, activate the local pickup option for each location where customers can go to get their orders.

The shipping rate for local pickup is set toFreeand 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 bymanaging 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.
