Can customers select a specific delivery day on Shopify?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Shopify’s built-in delivery settings do not appear to support choosing a specific delivery day such as offering free delivery in a certain area on Fridays only.

The main question was whether customers can select a delivery date and whether delivery options can be restricted by day within a delivery zone. The reply indicates that this level of control—such as date-based delivery rules, blackout dates, and adjusting delivery costs depending on the selected date—would require a third-party app rather than standard Shopify shipping/local delivery settings.

Suggested app options were:

  • Local Delivery by Atom Yard
  • In-Store Pickup Local Delivery by Log Base
  • Alpaca Local Pickup & Delivery by Alumworks

Current outcome: no native Shopify solution was confirmed in the discussion. The practical next step is to evaluate local delivery apps that support scheduling and day-based restrictions.

Can Shopify do the following:

  • Allow the customer to select a specific delivery day?
  • I can see that there are different delivery rates and zones that you add in however can you restrict it to a certain day. For example ‘Free delivery in XXXX on Fridays only’

Thank-you.

Hey, @Shotjuice

In order to set up local delivery with a little more control over blackout dates or adjusting delivery costs based on dates, you would want to look into a third-party app that specializes in local delivery. Below I’ve compiled a few app options that might suit your exact needs:

  1. Local Delivery by Atom Yard
  2. In-Store Pickup Local Delivery by Log Base
  3. Alpaca Local Pickup & Delivery by Alumworks
