Hi! I’m working on transferring my website over to Shopify (Refresh theme) from SquareSpace, and need to find that one unicorn date picker app that will do what I need it to do. I know there’s hundreds out there, but I need a simple date picker that will allow my customers to select a DISPATCH date (not delivery date) if they select the shipping option and a PICKUP date if they select the pickup option. Something like the attached photo. Should show up at the checkout level and not for individual products being added to cart (as that can potentially result in multiple dispatch dates which hurts my shipping costs!)
This app must have the cab ability for me to go into the backend of course and tweak blockout dates, times, add and change lead times etc as the case arises.
Can anyone suggest specific apps for this please that are easy to use? Thanks!
Kitty here from Zapiet Support, I was also going to suggest trying our app Zapiet- Pickup + Delivery I can see @jessical001 already mentioned us (thank you!).
Our widget is placed in the cart so the customer can only select a method once all products are added. Our shipping option is designed to allow a customer to select a shipping date rather than a delivery date. You can reach out to us at suport@zapiet.com with a full brief of your requirements and we can see if Zapiet- Pickup + Delivery will meet your needs.
Hey @SaraRiz – totally get where you’re coming from.
A lot of brands migrating from Squarespace or WooCommerce hit this same pain with Shopify – especially when they need more control over dispatch vs pickup dates.
The short answer is: yes, what you’re asking is definitely doable, but not every date picker app supports both conditional logic (based on dispatch and pickup) and flexible rules for product combinations.
What you’ll want to look for:
One calendar block shown at checkout level (not per item)
Ability to block out dispatch or pickup dates independently
Logic that avoids multiple delivery windows when multiple products are added
Easy admin UI to tweak lead times and rules as needed
Some apps offer basic calendar blocks on the product page — which can get messy. But there are also a few apps (including Flare) that handle conditional dispatch/pickup calendars, block dates, lead times, cutoff times — all editable in a no-code backend.
If it’s helpful, happy to share a few examples from food and gifting brands that manage this same flow.
Hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction!
