This feature allows you to advertise products that may or may not be available in-store right now but can be picked up in a few days. The Pickup later feature does not even require to have full inventory information. It provides an online to offline experience for your customers and allows you to use the store as your omnichannel asset.

The Pickup Later runs as a feature for Shopping Ads or Google LIA. It appears when customers are more likely to use this option based on the user’s intent.

• Must have ongoing Shopping Ads and be able to identify store locations that are eligible to fulfill online orders
• Be able to fulfill store pickup orders even though the product is not physically in stock at the store locations
