WebShopApps today announced a new Magento extension called "Store Pickup". Modern Retail took a quick look at the extension and it looks promising. Given that Modern Retail works primarily with brick and mortar retailers, an in-store pickup extension for Magento is welcome addition.

Convenience for Customers, Simplicity for Merchants
Balancing the customer desire for convenience with the need to keep costs under control is a constant concern for most merchants. Store Pickup addresses both concerns by letting merchants sell products which are already in stock at or can be shipped to stores while giving customers the convenience of picking up their order locally.
A Multitude of Uses
While Store Pickup is excellent for single stores or chains from large to small no matter what you're selling, this extension is especially suited for merchants whose products are particularly bulky, fragile, or sensitive. A great solution for merchants selling:
- Perishable Goods
- Furniture & Household Goods
- Food & Beverages
- Fragile Merchandise
- Hazardous Materials
- Guns & Ammo
Extension Features
- Show multiple stores
- Display store map
