Getting started

Pickup builds on WooCommerce Local Pickup. Enable that shipping method, add your locations and opening hours, and the date/time picker appears at checkout.

Before you start

WordPress 6.5 or newer
WooCommerce active, with a Local Pickup shipping method enabled
PHP 8.1 or newer

Install

Install WooCommerce and make sure it is active.
Install Pickup from the plugin directory (when live on WordPress.org) or upload the pickup folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate the plugin.

Enable Local Pickup

Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping and make sure Local Pickup is enabled. Pickup only shows its fields when the customer chooses Local Pickup.

Configure Pickup

Open WooCommerce → Pickup:

Locations — add each pickup location and enable or disable it.
Weekly opening hours — define the windows slots are generated from.
Slot length — for example 30 minutes.
Per-slot capacity — how many orders each slot can take.
Lead time — the minimum notice before a slot can be booked.
Booking horizon — how far ahead customers can book.
Require a time slot — turn off for “location only” mode.

Verify at checkout

Add a product and go to checkout.
Choose Local Pickup as the shipping method — the location and slot fields appear.
Pick a location and a time slot — only available slots are offered.
Place the order and open it in WooCommerce → Orders — the pickup details should show on the order screen and in the order email.
Switch to another shipping method — the pickup fields disappear and are not required.

How slots are generated

Slots come from your weekly opening windows and slot length. A 09:00–12:00 window with a 30-minute length offers 09:00, 09:30, 10:00 and so on. Once a location + date + slot reaches its capacity, or its lead time has passed, it is no longer offered.

Free vs PRO

The free edition covers the location chooser, slot picker, capacity, lead time, booking horizon, and order/email display.

Pickup PRO (planned) adds per-slot pricing, blackout dates and calendar export — not basic scheduling.
