Dropping in to provide an update that you may have already stumbled upon yourselves! 

 

It is possible to create a Square Online Checkout link for items available for pickup, however you'll need to ensure that your settings are correct in order for the link to display pickup as the fulfillment option. 

 

First, Pickup must be set as the only fulfillment option for the item:

 

 

Personally, I'd recommend creating multiple items with different fulfillment types in their titles if you plan on using checkout links and offering multiple fulfillment options via checkout links - I named mine Latte [ Pickup Only ] to avoid confusion:

Hi there @barntiquecreati - and welcome to the Community!

 

At this time, it isn't possible to use checkout links with the pickup feature. Checkout links are intended for:

  • Collecting payments - to accept money for any reason.

  • Buyer entered payments - to let your customers pay an amount of their choice.

  • Items - to accept money for items in your Item Library.

  • Donations - to allow a donor to enter an amount of their choice.


If you could possibly let us know a bit about what you're looking to accomplish here, we should be able to work together to make it happen.

I think the way this will work since I don't ship is that after a subscriber gets setup, I'll just have to contact each one individually to arrange their preferred fulfillment--pickup or delivery (that we do ourselves) And if they want to choose delivery, we can charge a small fee for the zones we set up since the card is then on file. 

I'm going to embed the code in a button on my site's "main banner" so it has a permanent presence, but it doesn't really give much room for explanation. I might try something else...

Thank you,

Telina

I'd like to create a recurring payment for a physical item--a monthly wine club-- so I created a checkout link. Is there a way for customers who subscribe to select fulfillment options (pickup and delivery) like my online store has? 

Thank you

One of your replies states that this thread is for “regular online store orders” and I’m clearly asking for help with manually created checkout links that I send to my customer. Can you help with this?

when I crest a checkout link for my customer regardless of whether they select shipping or pick up it still will automatically place it as pick up. 
shipping is sent has my default method, shipping is set up completely and I have no issues on my website. How can I fix this and allow customers to ship their orders?
