How to Reserve an Item Online

At Micro Center, we do provide customers with the option to reserve items that are sold in-store using our website. You can click here to navigate to our website. 

What you will need:
-Credit/Debit Card Information
-Billing Address

We will only place a $1 hold on the credit card you enter online upon placing the reservation. The full payment for the order will still have to made in-store at the time of pickup. You may use any valid payment method to pay for the order in the store. You are not required to use the same card that you entered online. Also, you do not need to create a Micro Center Insider Account to reserve an item, you can select Continue as Guest.

*Note: Not all items that are sold in-store are available to be reserved online. This would be up to management.*


1) First, you will need to make sure the store is set correctly. You can do this by clicking Change at the top of the screen.






Then you can click the drop-down menu to see the list of stores we have. Click on the store you would like to pick up the order at. For this example, I will be selecting the Columbus store.





Next, find the item or items that you would like to reserve. Once you click on an item you can click Add to Cart.






After you click that, you will be taken to your cart. Under Shipping Options, you will want to select In-Store Pickup, then under the store selection make sure your local Micro Center is listed here. If you need to make any changes to these, be sure to click Update Shipping Options (see screenshot below)






You can click either Continue Shopping if you want to add more items to your cart or if you are ready to checkout you can click Reserve Now. 





Next, you will be asked to either: sign into your Micro Center Insider, Create a Micro Center Insider Account, or Continue as Guest. If you have an account or want to create one, you are welcome to do that here. For this example, I will select Continue as Guest.






Next, you will need to enter your billing address. Once you have entered this information, click Review and Confirm at the bottom.






The last step will just ask you to enter your credit card information. Once you have that entered, take a moment to review your order to make sure everything is correct. If you have a Promo code, then you enter that at the top of this screen. Once you are finished reviewing your order, click Reserve Now on the right.






After you click Reserve Now, you will see a reservation number displayed on the next screen. Be sure to write this down or take a screenshot as you will need it to pick up the order. 






All you have to do now is wait for the confirmation email letting you know the order is ready for pickup. We do recommend waiting for this email before heading to the store. Here is an example of that confirmation email. Reservations are held for 3 days at your local Micro Center store.



If you have any questions or run into any issues, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you.
