Hi All,
I just opened my shop in Co.Cork, Ireland and was hoping to offer collection
as an option for locals. I can't see any option to add this method at check
out.
Does anyone have this set up and if so how do I go about it?
Thanks!

You can set up a free shipping method and call it collection only, but be aware
that buyers will choose it as it is free (and might be tge only option seen)
and expect you to ship the order. It would be better to have an option for them
to select to be invoiced instead of instant payment, then you can check they
are local and double check that they want to collect before you invoice them.

Thanks yorbrik, I'll give the invoiced option a go.
