# Pickup points

> Enable customers to choose pickup locations during checkout

Pickup points allow customers to select their preferred pickup location during checkout, providing flexibility and convenience for package delivery.

## How pickup points work

When enabled, customers can:

* **Browse nearby pickup points** during checkout
* **Select their preferred location** from available options
* **See pickup point details** including address and hours
* **Complete their order** with the chosen pickup point

## Pickup point options

You have two configuration options for pickup points:

### Select pickup point

* **Customer choice**: Customers can choose their preferred pickup location
* **Interactive selection**: Browse and select from available locations
* **Best for**: Customers who want control over pickup location

### Closest pickup point

* **Automatic selection**: The pickup point is chosen by the carrier when booking the label
* **No customer interaction**: System automatically selects the nearest location
* **Best for**: Simplified checkout process
