# Pickup Availability

> Display local store pickup availability for products with physical store locations through Shopify POS integration.

The **Pickup Availability** component shows customers which physical store locations have a product available for local pickup. This component integrates with Shopify POS to display real-time inventory availability across your retail locations.

<Note>
  This is an integrated component block (not a standalone section) that appears within product sections when Shopify POS is configured with pickup-enabled locations.
</Note>

## How It Works

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Display Logic">
    The component only renders when:

    1. Product variant has store availability data
    2. At least one location has `pick_up_enabled: true`
    3. Shopify POS is properly configured

    **Primary Display:**

    * Shows the closest/first available location
    * Displays availability status (available or unavailable)
    * Shows estimated pickup time
    * Provides button to view all locations

    **Button Text:**

    * Single store: "View store information"
    * Multiple stores: "Check availability at other stores"
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Drawer Interface">
    Clicking the button opens a drawer containing:

    **Store List:**

    * All locations with store availability data
    * Store name as heading
    * Availability status with icon (available, × unavailable)
    * Pickup time estimate
    * Complete formatted address
    * Phone number (if configured)

    **Visual Indicators:**

    * Green check icon for available items
    * Red close icon for unavailable items
    * Consistent formatting for all addresses
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
