stop by
Pay quick visit
Stop by means to make a brief, often unplanned visit: I'll stop by after work, She stopped by to drop off the package.
The phrase implies a short stay rather than a formal or extended visit.
Stop in and stop over carry similar meanings, though stop over can suggest an overnight stay during travel.
