Here are the options when buying a MackBook Pro 13" Intel processor.

From: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/

2.0GHz quad-core

• 10th‑generation Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, with 6MB shared L3 cache

Configurable to:

2.3GHz quad‑core

• 10th‑generation Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz, with 8MB shared L3 cache

Just as in car shopping, always ask about the options. The i7 option is quite prominent on the Apple web store:

If:

1) you are in the US and,

2) you bought the the computer directly from Apple —either at an Apple retail store or online,

you have a 14-day grace period in which to return the computer for a no-questions-asked refund. Then you can buy another with the processor upgrade you wanted.

If you bought from a reseller, the seller's refund policy—if any—applies:

Full US refund policy here. Returns & Refunds - Shopping Help - Apple

It is configurable at the time of purchase. It is not upgradable after purchase.
