I have it set up correct like it allows pickup but Im confused on how to set up inventory. If I have 2 shirts and I put in inventory I have 2 available for pickup and 2 available for shipping it shows I have 4 total and I only have 2.
Topic summary
Main issue: Offering both shipping and local pickup for the same products is causing double-counted inventory (e.g., 2 for pickup + 2 for shipping shows 4, but only 2 exist).
Key guidance:
- Enable Shopify’s “Local Pickup” so customers choose Pickup or Delivery at checkout, while inventory is tracked once. Local Pickup is a fulfillment method, not a separate inventory pool.
- Use a single inventory location and configure both pickup and delivery from that location to prevent overselling.
- If inventory truly spans different locations, consider an app to sync inventory across two products, or treat the pickup as a shipping option from the main stock location.
Actions suggested:
- Turn on Local Pickup in Shopify admin.
- Maintain one inventory count per product at one location; do not enter separate quantities for pickup vs shipping.
- If meeting at a town location without stock stored there, keep inventory at the home location and offer pickup as a method from that single location.
