What’s New at Shopify?

Shopify’s Pickup in store capabilities have been extended to support “ship to store” fulfillment via the new Store transfers feature. Improvements for how pickup locations are displayed at checkout have also been made by displaying only pickup locations within the buyer’s country.

Store Transfers: This feature enables merchants to offer pickup in store for more products, at more locations by allowing customers to purchase products online and have them shipped to one of your stores for pickup, commonly known as “ship to store” fulfillment. Previously, Pickup In store was only available if all products in an order were in stock at a given pickup location during checkout.

Store transfers can be enabled for any location offering Pickup in store and can be configured to transfer items from multiple source locations like other retail stores or fulfillment centers. Product exclusions are supported to prevent certain items from being included.

Furthermore, merchants can facilitate the transferring of inventory for a pickup directly in an order via Shopify admin.

Enhanced list of available pickup locations at checkout: Improvements have been made to how in store pickup locations are displayed at checkout by providing a smaller expandable list of pickup locations, and hiding irrelevant locations that are outside the buyer’s country.
