How to setup Pickup In Store

This article introduces the Pickup in store feature in Ecombe Editor and explains how to set it up in your Shopify store.

Overview

Pickup in store in (also known as Pick up in store or Local pickup) is a feature that allows customers to place an order online and pick it up at a physical store, instead of having it shipped to their address.

Pickup at store works based on locations and product inventory, does not require installing additional apps, and can be used alongside other delivery methods.

Before setting up Pickup at store, make sure that:

  • Your store has at least one Location

  • The location has Fulfillment enabled (fulfills online orders)

  • The product has inventory available at that location

  • Expected pickup date

    • Example: “Ready within 2 hours” or “Same day”
