For some integration partners based in France, ShipStation now supports the ability to ship from your marketplace to Pickup Locations. Here is how that works in ShipStation.
-
Your marketplace will let ShipStation know that the customer selected a pickup option at checkout.
-
ShipStation will then send a label request to the carrier. This will include the address of the location the customer selected, and if required by the carrier, a pickup indicator (usually some type of ID from their API).
-
Send the shipment as you normally would.
When an order gets shipped to a pickup location instead of the recipient's mailing address, the Order Details information for these orders will display differently from regular orders.
The Recipient information section of Order Details will show a heading that will read Pickup Location instead of Ship To. The address of the pickup location will not be editable.

Details about Pickup Locations
-
You will need to manage settings and details for each local pickup location on the marketplace website. This will not be a ShipStation setting that you can add or edit.
-
If the customer chooses to pick up at a locker, retail store, etc., we will only have the address of the location itself. There will not be a way to edit the pickup location from within ShipStation.
