Does this exist? Dynamic Menu pre-order app(s) linked to calendar, banner announcement and countdown

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A home sourdough bakery owner seeks an app solution to migrate weekly pre-orders from Simply Bread to their Shopify store. They’ve tested several apps (Bird, Timesact, Countdown Timer Bar, Quick Announcement Bar, Store Pickup) but haven’t found a complete solution.

Key requirements:

  • Weekly pre-order menus with scheduled launch/close dates
  • Calendar integration blocking unavailable pickup days and showing pickup time windows
  • Homepage announcement banner linked to active menu
  • Product quantities customizable per menu (not global inventory)
  • Automatic 24-hour countdown timer before orders close
  • Future menu visibility with email/SMS notification signup

Current status: One respondent suggests the feature combination is too specific for existing apps, recommending either custom app development or combining theme customizations with API-integrated apps. The discussion remains open with no ready-made solution identified.

Looking for suggestions for an app that combines many functions. For reference, my business is a home sourdough bakery that functions from local customer pre-orders. Customers currently place orders for weekly “Bake Days” through the Simply Bread platform but I would like to transfer orders to my shopify store. In order to do this I need to confirm many functions for a seamless customer experience and I have been unable to find an app or combination of apps that perform these tasks. so far I have tried the following shopify apps: Bird app, Timesact, Countdown Timer Bar, Quick Announcement Bar, Store Pickup. Attached are images from an example site that best reflects what I would like my site to functon as.

  1. weekly pre-order menu that includes a scheduled launch date and close date for local pickups. needs to link to a calendar that blocks off days outside of available pickup day. also needs to show the pickup window of a few hours that day.

  2. menu is linked to announcement banner located under header of homepage

  3. product quantity can be customized for each pre-order menu (not overall reflective of all quantities in stock for that product)

  4. Ideally would include a countdown timer that automatically starts when 24 hours remain before pre-orders close for that menu

  5. In a perfect world future pre-order menus would be visible with a email or text signup form to be notified once the menu is live

Please let me know if there is an app or combination of apps that would cover all of these dynamic functions.

Thank you in advance!

@saltydogfarm everytime you glom on a feature your making a rarer and rarer unicorn or a mess of a system because of so many moving parts and bogged down communication for every little detail.

Like a dump cake but instead of just every cake ingredient with no effort whatever else happens to be in the fridge.

If you need such specific needs all in one make the app custom https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build

Some of those things can just be done as standalone advanced theme customizations or integrations with apps that have a core functionality and an api.

If you need a budget for a streamline process with custom apps, or theme customization/integrations then contact me for services.
