Pickup spots are the places buyers can choose from when they book an in-person pickup after checkout. They help you offer safer, clearer handoffs without writing the same instructions for every buyer.

You can offer:

Public spots include a Google Maps action so you and the buyer can check the location.

Open My Shop > Settings > Pickup spots. From there, you can enable police safe-trade zones, add your own public spots, and choose which ones should be available by default.

Choose which pickup spots are available by default for new listings.

These settings become the default for new listings. They do not automatically rewrite older listings because each listing keeps its own saved pickup spot options.

If you already listed an item and later changed your pickup spots, see Scheduling In-Person Pickup Meetups for the broader pickup flow, then update the listing:

Open the listing for editing

Find the pickup spots section

Select the spots you want buyers to see

Use Pull latest from settings if you want the listing to match your current defaults

Save the listing

This keeps existing listings stable while still letting you update them when your pickup plan changes.

After a buyer checks out with in-person pickup, they book the pickup time from their confirmation page or order page. If your listing has more than one pickup spot, they choose the spot that works for them. For listing setup context, see Choosing Delivery & Pickup Options.

They may see your address, a police safe-trade zone, or another public spot you added. Browsers and casual visitors do not see your exact pickup address before checkout.

Pick places that are easy to find and comfortable for a quick handoff:

Avoid vague meeting points like "near the entrance" unless the spot name and address make the location obvious. For handoff safety tips, see In-Person Pickup Meetups: Best Practices.
