# Set up local pickup

***

After you enable the local pickup option, your customers can choose between **Ship** and **Pick up** in the **Delivery method** section of your checkout. When they select **Pick up**, they can choose the location where they want to pick up their order.

### **Prerequisites**

You 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 pick up 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.

Customers can click **Check availability at other stores** to check the product's availability at all of your locations that have pickup enabled.
