Please please offer multiple pick up spots for one inventory source for farmers. We make deliveries 2 times a week to different pick up spots. We don’t have massive amounts of inventory to just add some to each location. We need to be able to pull from one inventory to make deliveries to designated pick up spots. I moved over to Shopify hoping I can do this! PLEASE PLEASE make this a priority!!! Farmers need more options when it comes to website hosts.
Topic summary
Merchants (especially farmers) request the ability to offer multiple pickup locations that all draw from a single shared inventory. They deliver to different pickup spots twice weekly and cannot split limited stock across separate location inventories.
Key need: one inventory source feeding several “local pickup” points so stock counts stay accurate without duplication. Participants stress they do not want to rely on paid apps.
Current workaround: using a free shipping rate labeled as local pickup at checkout. Recent mobile payment flows (e.g., Apple Pay) auto-select the free option, often hiding its “local pickup” label, causing shipping customers to choose it by mistake. This has forced some to disable the workaround, increasing friction and errors.
State of play: this is a long-standing feature request (reported over years) that users perceive as straightforward but still unavailable natively. No official solution or timeline is mentioned. The thread remains open, with farmers urging prioritization to better support their fulfillment models.

I NEED a solution as well. And NOT a paid app to do it.
I have been trying for 7 years to make this a feature! It seems like an easy solution so I don’t understand why we have not been able to get it processed. I have been researching apps for days now. My work around was offering a free shipping option in the shipping portion of checkout labeling them local pick up locations, however with all the updates on mobile devices (e.g. apple pay) it automatically picks the “free” option at checkout and does not always show the description as “free local pickup” so I have had to disable it because I have had more and more shipping customers choose this at checkout that actually needed it shipped. So frustrating.
