Visit the deal page on a desktop browser. Also do store pick up if possible to get the phone unlocked right away otherwise you might have to wait for 35 days for unlock.
You can select new customer and pay in full to get the $480 price. You can then select simplicity plan. Once you get the phone you can just cancel the line. Verizon unlocking policy states the devices are unlocked immediately if you pay in full. Their cancellation policy states no activation fee within 3 days and then only prorated charges if you cancel your line within 30 days.
***You might have to wait for 35 days before the phone is unlocked if you don't do store pickup in person as Verizon considers their online store purchase with delivery not secure. You can cancel your line nonetheless as the device will still unlock automatically after 35 days****

Community Reviews
This Verizon Pixel 11 Pro deal is mainly about getting a heavily discounted flagship and then verifying carrier unlock after activation. The strongest upside is the low out of pocket price, with store pickup and immediate activation often leading to an unlocked phone that works with Google Fi, Mint, T Mobile, or other eSIMs. The main catch is Verizon's confusing unlock behavior, since some units stay locked for hours or days and the bootloader remains permanently locked. Cancellation usually needs chat or phone support, and full month bills or prorated charge adjustments can take follow up.

Attempt to add Eskimo eSIM clearly mentioned device locked !
So I can't cancel the line until to see device unlock approval,
I know in Walmart deal, we need to taxes on phone full price + Walmart e-gift coupon thing.
Just want to check your thoughts on this.
If we need to contact Verizon and wait days for unlock like some other guy here mentioned then we can't cancel immediately now no? :/

I'm going to use it with google fi so it's not a blocker, but I'd obviously want to know I'd be able to change to any eSIM using the normal way
Will try and reach out to support tomorrow and see what they say, I need to contact them to cancel the plan anyway.

Apparently it's a known issue and you have to scan the qr code via the camera app or the carrier has to support esim discovery process
Clicking Add Sim -> Setup an ESIM -> shows Contact Verizon message -> same screen with error you can click either Done or Use a different sim -> scan QR code for Eskimo, it detects that it's an Eskimo sim (says 1 Eskimo eSIM is available for this device) -> clicking set up (failed)
*update, literally when I was typing the steps, the last step actually didn't fail and I now see it added
