Set pickup locations and protect private warehouse addresses

Choose whether customers can collect orders and keep internal shipping locations separate from public pickup information.

The short answer: Pickup requires an active pickup-capable location. Manage addresses under Warehouses & pickup locations and match them to the shop fulfillment setting. Shipping-only locations remain available internally for fulfillment; sellers that do not offer pickup keep their public shop address and location hidden.

Fulfillment

Decide whether customers can collect orders

Shipping origin data and a customer pickup location serve different purposes. Keep the internal origin accurate so staff and eligible shipping services can fulfill orders. Enable pickup only at a staffed location that can receive customers and hand over the selected order.

Choosing shipping only for a private warehouse does not create a pickup point. Likewise, hiding a public address does not erase the internal address used for inventory, shipping, or other authorized operations.

Collection

Create a pickup location before enabling pickup

  1. 1

    Open Warehouses & pickup locations

    Use the seller Shop navigation or the Warehouses button on Scanner.

  2. 2

    Add or edit the intended location

    Enter an accurate name and address and select a mode that supports pickup. Complete the required availability, contact, and collection details shown by the form.

  3. 3

    Activate the location

    Verify that the location is saved and active for this seller.

  4. 4

    Enable pickup in shop settings

    Choose pickup or the available combined fulfillment mode. Saving pickup without an active pickup location is rejected.

  5. 5

    Review the buyer path

    Check the listed pickup information and order collection instructions before offering the option to customers.

Timing

Allow time before the first pickup slot

In Manage Shop → General, Gap Between Order Placement & First Pickup Slot [Hours] sets the minimum gap before the first available pickup slot. Choose a gap that gives staff enough time to prepare an order, then save the form.

Privacy

Keep a shipping-only location internal

When pickup is not offered, the public storefront, product listing address/location displays, and location maps should not expose the seller location. Retain accurate warehouse addresses for internal fulfillment.

If you disable pickup, review any existing orders that already promised collection before changing staffing or closing the location. Changing a shop setting does not by itself cancel or reroute an existing customer order.

Troubleshooting

Check the location if pickup cannot be saved

  • Make sure the location belongs to the current seller.
  • Confirm it is active and its mode supports pickup.
  • Complete all required address and availability fields.
  • If a location used for pickup cannot be removed, update the shop fulfillment choice and resolve open pickups first.
Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can a seller ship while hiding a warehouse address publicly?

Yes. Shipping-only sellers retain internal origin information while the public shop address/location is hidden. Pickup requires a customer-facing pickup location.
