Use The In Store Pickup Module
Shift4Shop's In-store Pickup module (Available on Pro Store plans and higher, including the Free End-to-End eCommerce Plan) will allow you to specify pickup locations for your store and assign products that will be available for pickup in the locations.
When a customer purchases items that are made available for pickup, they will be able to select the pickup option during checkout and the location they will pick up the order from. This order then uses the selected pickup location as its Shipping Information and calculates tax accordingly to that location.
The following will show you how to set up and use the module.
Enabling the Module
Log into your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager.
Using the left navigation menu, go to Modules.
On the Modules page, use the search bar at the top to search for "In-store Pickup" and locate the module.
Place a mark in the Enabled checkbox and click on the Save button at the top right.
The module will be enabled on the store. Next, you will create your pickup locations.

If you export your product CSV file using ALL fields, this new column header will be located at the end of the columns. You can also add it to your CSV import file as needed.
What Your Customers Will See
Products marked for In-store pickup options will display a label on the product page (as well as the QuickView popup) indicating the pickup option made available on the item.
The wording used for these labels can be edited in the Store Language section:

(Default label: In-store pickup only)Store Language Label: in-store-pickup-available
(Default label: In-store pickup)
During checkout, products marked with In-store Pickup options will be shown with a section where the customer can select your available In-store pickup locations.

When an in-store pickup location is selected, the store will copy that location's address as the order "Shipping Information," and shipping costs will be removed. Furthermore, tax (if applicable) will be calculated based on the pickup location's address rather than the customer's billing address.
When the order is placed, the customer will receive the usual New Order email. An update has been made available to the email template to also include the pickup location details if applicable to the order.
The email address specified for the pickup location will also receive a copy of this order notification. If no email address is specified in the In-Store Pickup Location settings, then no action is taken. Your customer will still receive their email notifications, but the pickup location will not.
