Change Local Delivery to "Same Day Delivery"

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A shop owner wants Shopify’s checkout to show “Same Day Delivery” instead of the default “Local delivery.” They attempted a language/translation change, but the checkout still displays “Local Delivery.” They also plan to offer “Next Day Shipping” for Melbourne Metro with their own custom rates and ask whether an app can help.

A reply recommends the “Order Delivery Date” app (Identixweb), stating it supports shipping, location-based local delivery, and store pickup, and works with the app’s shipping price feature—implying it could meet both the naming and rate configuration needs. A link to the app is provided.

Status:

  • No confirmed resolution; only an app suggestion so far.

Key open points:

  • Whether the app can explicitly rename the checkout label to “Same Day Delivery.”
  • How custom rates for Melbourne Metro (e.g., Next Day) are configured and displayed at checkout.

Suggested next steps:

  • Trial the recommended app and verify label renaming at checkout.
  • Confirm support for separate Same Day and Next Day options with custom pricing by location.

Hi Guys,

I have enabled Local delivery for my shop but I want to enable this for Same Day Shipping. I have followed some other reccomendations to change the languages component to Same Day, but thats still not working either. It keeps saying Local Delivery during checkout.

Is there another way to rename this local delivery name or is there an app that can help on this? I also want to enable Next Day Shipping as an option for Melbourne Metro in the future. So I am thinking I may need an app for this however I want to allocate my own rates.

Hello @toshijewels !

To meet your requirement Order Delivery Date app can help you out as it offers shipping, local delivery based on location, and store pickup as well. And these methods work with the shipping price feature of this app too. So basically this app will fulfill all your needs.

Hope this helps.
