Local pickup with a time slot
Pickup adds click-and-collect scheduling to WooCommerce. When an order uses Local Pickup, the customer chooses a location and a date + time slot at checkout. The selection is validated and saved to the order, and slots are generated from your opening hours — each with a capacity, so no double-booking.
Works with
Local pickup without a time is chaos
WooCommerce Local Pickup never asks when the customer will arrive. Orders come in with no time, a queue forms all at once, and you have no idea how many people will show up at a given hour.
- ✗ No way to pick a pickup date and time at checkout
- ✗ Customers all arrive at the same time
- ✗ No per-slot capacity leads to crowding
- ✗ No pickup details on the order or email
Pickup adds a time slot at checkout
- ✓ A location and date + time-slot picker for Local Pickup orders
- ✓ Slots generated from your weekly opening hours
- ✓ A per-slot capacity — a full slot drops off the list
- ✓ Pickup details on the order screen, emails and the customer account

Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active, with a Local Pickup shipping method.
When do the pickup fields show at checkout?
Only when the chosen shipping method is WooCommerce Local Pickup. For all other methods the fields stay hidden and are not required.
How are time slots generated?
From your weekly opening windows and the slot length. A 09:00–12:00 window with a 30-minute length offers 09:00, 09:30, 10:00 and so on.
What stops a slot from being over-booked?
Each slot has a capacity. Once the orders booked into a location + date + slot reach that capacity, the slot is no longer offered.
Can customers pick only a location, without a time?
Yes. Turn off Require a time slot on the Pickup settings screen.
Does it create database tables?
No. Selections are stored as order meta, so there is nothing extra to maintain.
Is Pickup HPOS and blocks compatible?
Yes. Pickup works with HPOS (Custom Order Tables) and the Cart/Checkout Blocks.
Is it timezone aware?
Yes. Slots respect your store timezone and your WordPress date format.
