Hi there, 

 

I'm setting up a shop and while all items are available for pickup and I've set that up correctly, I'm wondering for larger items that we DON'T want to ship > how to disable the shipping option when you check out?

Hi @oliviawa, you can follow my steps:

 

Step 1: Create a Custom Shipping Profile for Large Items

Settings > Shipping and Delivery > New profile: products (add your products that you don't want to ship) + shipping zones (create a shipping zone but do not add any shipping rates. This will disable the shipping option for products in this profile) 

 

Step 2: Enable Local Pickup

Settings > Locations > Ensure you have set up your locations where customers can pick up their orders > Go back to Shipping and Delivery > Local delivery > Configure the settings for each location where you offer pickup.

 

Besides that, I also suggest that you attach a label to indicate in-store pickup, so that customers can be certain that your store only offers in-person purchases, reducing any confusion. You may consider using our Fordeer Product Labels & Badges app for this purpose.

hi @oliviawa I completely agree with @Amanda_Fordeer .. 

A quick tip for you: If you have many large items, save yourself some time by using a bulk editor app from the Shopify App Store. These apps can help you quickly assign large items to the new shipping profile..
