"Buy online, pick up in store" has quietly become one of the most-wanted checkout options: no shipping cost, no waiting for a courier, and for you, guaranteed foot traffic to your physical locations. Magento 2.4 does include a native In-Store Pickup delivery method, but it's deliberately basic — customers can pick a source location, and that's about it. No pickup date or time scheduling, no holiday calendar, no store finder on a map.
That's the gap the Magento 2 Store Pickup extension by MageAnts fills, and it's what this guide walks through: enabling the pickup method, configuring schedules and blackout dates, setting up the built-in Store Locator, and adding your store locations — with screenshots of every step and the final checkout experience.
What is the Store Pickup Extension for Magento 2?
The Store Pickup for Magento 2 is a shipping method that allows customers to select nearby pickup locations during checkout. Customers can choose a preferred pickup day and time, and administrators can easily add multiple pickup locations with details like name, address, and working days.
The extension also offers Store Locator functionality, displaying all available stores on a map and allowing users to find the nearest store and its distance from their current location. It's user-friendly, configurable, and beneficial for stores with multiple locations.
Follow the below steps to enable pickup in store functionality in your Magento 2 store.

Conclusion
Store pickup bridges your online store and your physical locations: customers who don't want to wait (or pay) for shipping collect their order at a nearby store, on a day and time they choose — and every pickup is a foot-traffic opportunity for in-person upsells. With the configuration above, the Store Pickup extension handles the whole flow: pickup scheduling with holidays and blackout dates, multiple store locations with schedules, and a map-based Store Locator so customers always find the nearest option.
