paying when In Store Pickup in Europe

[phl92]

I ask this question here, because in my country (Austria) due to Corona all stores are closed and their phone support is very mediocre atm to say at least. (long waiting line and support people cannot answer)

I want to order a new Mac online, but I want the delivery made to the Apple store in my city. At the moment this is not possible, because stores are closed at least 2 weeks more, and the option is online not selectable.

Can people tell me from experience: when you normally choose in Store pickup, is it also possible to pay in the store and not already beforehand online?

Is there a method at your location, for you to purchase online and have it shipped to your residence? My guess is when you buy online, you will be expected to pay online.

Yes of course, that's the normal delivery which I normally also prefer.
The reason I prefer for this buy a instore payment option is, that I have issues with my normal CC bank, and Apple doesnt take Paypal. I have a lot of money on an Apple gift voucher card of my returned MBP 13" 2020, and the rest I would like to pay there.
Kind of complicated with the whole Covid 19, delayed Macbooks situation

Maybe there is a way to convert PayPal to another form of cash that Apple would accept? Good luck in your pursuit!
