Can You Do Local Pickup on Shopify?

Last updated on January 9, 2023 @ 6:45 pm

Local pickup is a great option for customers who want to save on shipping costs or who live close to the shop. It’s also a good way to build relationships with customers and get to know them better.

Shopify makes it easy to offer local pickup as an option for customers. To set it up, first go to Settings > Shipping.

Then, under the “Shipping zones” section, click “Add shipping zone”. In the “Zone name” field, enter the name of the area where you offer local pickup. Then, under the “Apply shipping methods” section, select “Local pickup”.

Once you’ve saved your changes, local pickup will appear as an option for customers during checkout. They’ll be able to select it as their shipping method and enter their preferred pickup location.

PRO TIP: Local pickup is a great way to offer your customers the convenience of shopping online while still being able to support your local community. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind before offering local pickup on your Shopify store.

First, you will need to make sure that you have the proper facilities to accommodate local pickups. This means having a designated area for customers to pick up their orders, as well as someone available to help them with their purchases. If you do not have the proper facilities or staff to support local pickups, it is best to not offer this option on your store.

Second, you will need to clearly communicate the details of your local pickup policy to your customers. This includes letting them know what days and times they can pick up their orders, as well as what forms of payment you accept for local pickup orders. Failure to properly communicate your local pickup policy could result in confusion and frustration for your customers, so be sure to be clear and concise when explaining it.

Finally, keep in mind that local pickups will likely require more time and effort on your part than shipping orders out to customers. Be sure to factor this into your decision before offering local pickup on your Shopify store.
