Is there a way to separate in store pickup / local delivery from regular shipping options? Some items do not need shipping turned on all the time.
Hey @Carmen_Pagan ! Great question - this is actually pretty flexible in Shopify.
Short answer: Yes, you can separate these! Here’s how:
For products that are pickup/local delivery only (no shipping):
The cleanest approach is through your location and shipping settings:
-
Go to Settings > Shipping and delivery
-
Set up Pickup in store and/or Local delivery for the location(s) you want
-
For products you don’t want to ship, you have a few options:
-
Create a custom shipping profile for those products and don’t add any shipping rates to it - only enable pickup/local delivery at those locations
-
Stock those products only at a location that has pickup/local delivery enabled but no shipping rates configured
-
Important things to know:
-
Pickup in store and local delivery are configured per location, separate from your regular shipping rates
-
A customer can’t mix shipped and pickup items in the same order - they’d need to place two separate orders
-
For products to show pickup availability on the product page, they need to have “Physical product” enabled in the product settings and be stocked at a pickup location
Another option - digital/service products:
If an item truly doesn’t need shipping at all (like a service or digital item), you can turn off “Physical product” in the product settings. This removes shipping entirely, but note: this also hides pickup availability on the product page.
So if you want something like “in-store only” items that show pickup availability but no shipping option, your best bet is the custom shipping profile approach - add those products to a profile with no shipping rates, while keeping pickup enabled at your location.
Thank yo for your quick response. Question. How do we create a customer shipping profile?
