Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
I've just been trying to set up local delivery for my store.
I've enabled local delivery, created a delivery zone, tried out with both postcodes and radius, tracked and added inventory (everything is custom-made, so I'd rather not need to do this) but it still isn't working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Should also note that I'd been searching around for suggestions, and couldn't help notice that there are a lot of unresolved threads on this issue.
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
To others who might be having this issue: it just turns out I'm an idiot.
I wasn't adding £20+ of products (minimum required amount that I set myself) to my test order so the option for local delivery wasn't turning up.
Hi, @Lollipotts!
I'm Moira from the Social Care team at Shopify. Thanks for posting!
It can be super frustrating when something isn't working as intended. I'll do my best to help out and work out why your local delivery option isn't displaying at your checkout. Firstly, head over to Settings > Shipping and Delivery to make sure everything is set up correctly. For assistance, check out our help guide on setting up local pickup and delivery.
To use the local delivery option, ensure that your store has met the following requirements:
have 20 or fewer locations
have multiple location inventory enabled
have custom checkout disabled (Shopify Plus only)
If the above suggestions don't fix the issue, we may need to take a closer look. Please let me know by replying to this thread with your store URL, as well as any screenshots of the issue, this will be super helpful as well.
Have you heard about the Shopify Blog? It has a lot of great content on different aspects of running a store. Check out this article on Your 3 Step Guide to Building a Marketing Plan That Works. This will walk you through:
I look forward to hearing back from you!

Am I right in thinking that I require Shopify Plus to make use of the local delivery option? $2000/m is a bit out of my price range so I guess that's the end of that.
Hey, @Lollipotts! Thanks for getting back to us.
You do not need to be on the Shopify Plus plan to have the local delivery feature enabled. The custom checkout would just need to be disabled if you happened to be on that plan!
Were you able to check that your store has met the requirements? A common step people tend to miss is enabling multiple locations. Even if you have only one location, you still need to enable to access the newest Shopify features, such as local delivery. Your current location's settings won't be affected. I also suggest taking a look at the "before setting up local delivery" section of this guide which goes over what you need to complete before offering local delivery.
If locations is enabled in your store, then there's a notification prompting you to Learn more about locations. If locations isn't enabled in your store, then there's an option to Enable inventory at locations. Read the following sections to learn how enabling locations might affect your store. When you are ready, you can enable multiple locations.
If you find that following the instructions above makes no difference, it looks like we’ll need to access your account in order to resolve this issue. While we’re not able to provide account-specific support via the Shopify Community at this time, we’d be happy to continue assisting you through live chat, email, or callback.

If you have any questions please feel free to thread those below.
Cheers!

Hi again Moira
I think the problem might be that I've not, as you suggested, enabled multiple locations. When I follow the link, I get the instruction to click Enable inventory at locations in Settings > Locations, but I don't see this option anywhere. This is what I see:
I've been following the guides you've recommended, but this is the only step I've been unable to do. I'm starting to feel a bit stupid if I'm honest!
I've been waiting on an answer for a few days now but this doesn't seem to have been addressed. You've referred me to what I assume is an out of date guide so I don't know how to progress.
Hi @Lollipotts
Apologies for the delay in response!
If locations is enabled in your store, then there's a notification prompting you to Learn more about locations (which I can see in your screenshot). If locations isn't enabled in your store, then there's an option to Enable inventory at locations.
If you find that following the guides from the previous post makes no difference, it looks like we’ll need to access your account in order to resolve this issue.

In order to save some time, and help the Support Advisor you speak with to pick up from where you and I have left off, I am going to provide you with a summary of the issue as I understand it. You can share this summary at the beginning of your conversation with the agent to bring you both up to speed and help to get your answers as quickly as possible.
Issue Summary: Local delivery option isn't displaying at checkout. Store has met the requirements for local delivery. Multiple location inventory is enabled.
Let us know how you get on,

Okay, so two things.
1. I have been searching for at least 30 minutes for the same resolution, so thank you lollipotts for asking in this community. Shopify,please update this resolution on your comm. help forum pages.
2. I laughed when you said you were an idiot because as I read on to find out what you did wrong, I realized that I did the same thing too, which makes me an idiot too but only for the 30 minutes though.
Hi @ElGreeting! The solution above has been set for this topic so others like yourself who come across this thread can see the resolution immediately at the top of the forum page.

Hello may you help me local delivery is not showing up and it is enabled for us
Hey there, it could be a number of factors...
For me, it was because when I tested it, I didn't place the number quantity of amount to purchase in the checkout cart.
For your local delivery if you have a minimum purchase amount set, when you test it, ensure that you have that amount in your cart in order to see the local delivery option upon checkout. To add the local delivery to your checkout, you will need to visit settings in your shopify and then click shipping and delivery if you first have not done this already. I hope this helps.

Hello Moira! I originally figured this put but now I need help again
Despite me putting in the zones and coding and other conditions, it no longer shows the option for local delivery. Please help!!!!!
Do you have any product conditions enabled? For example, a minimum spend required.
If the local delivery was once showing, do you recall what changes you made recently?
