How to Enable Pickup in Store Option in Magento 2?

Letting your customers pickup the order they made online, from their nearest offline store is an amazing facility for the customers. With the Covid 19 pandemic making people live with lockdowns and curfews, it is difficult for store owners to deliver the orders as quickly as earlier. Now facilitate your customers with a wonderful feature like allowing to pick up the order from an offline point of sale at the scheduled date & time. Now, would you like to learn how to add this functionality to your Magento 2 store? Well, we have just the right extension in our catalog for this feature.

Why Store Pickup Matters for Your Magento 2 Store?

Before diving into the setup, it's worth understanding why this feature is worth your time. Store pickup sometimes called Click & Collect - benefits both merchants and customers in ways that standard shipping simply can't match:

• No delivery fees for customers. Shoppers who are price-sensitive or who just don't want to wait for a courier can skip the shipping cost entirely by collecting from a nearby store.
• Faster fulfillment. Customers who need an item urgently can place an order online and pick it up the same day, rather than waiting 2–5 business days.
• Reduced shipping risk. Certain products - fragile items, high-value goods - are vulnerable to damage or loss during transit. Store pickup eliminates that risk.
• More in-store sales. When a customer walks in to collect an order, they're already inside your store. That's a free upsell opportunity you don't get with home delivery.
• Better experience for customers who prefer in-person shopping. Some customers simply want to inspect a product before taking it home. Store pickup gives them the best of both worlds.

Does Magento 2 Have a Built-in Store Pickup Option?

Yes — Magento 2.4 introduced a native In-Store Delivery method out of the box. Here's how to enable it:

1. Go to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Delivery Methods → In-Store Pickup in your admin panel.
2. Set Enabled to Yes.
3. Configure your pickup locations under Inventory → Sources, making sure each source has an address and is marked as a pickup location.
4. Save your configuration.

This native option is a good starting point, but it has limitations. It doesn't support pickup time slot selection, delivery PIN verification, or granular guest customer controls. If you need those features, or if you're running multiple store locations with complex schedules -  a dedicated extension is the right move.
