Hi, @Sehou !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

I understand that you would like a solution to offer local delivery and pick up to a specific group of customers. There are a few ways to go about this which can be set up directly from your Shopify Admin. Once you enable local delivery and pick-up options, you will want to limit them to a specific zip/postal code or radius. Once done, you will want to clearly communicate the availability of local delivery and pick-up options to your friends and family group, providing any necessary instructions or guidelines for them to follow. This way, once they check out, they will be able to select the option.

Another option would be to set up a draft order and send the invoice over to your friends and family. This may be a little bit more time consuming but will ensure that your specific customer group will have this option available.

You may also be able to find a more custom solution via the Shopify App Store. Feel free to browse through some apps to see if one offers this functionality for your business.

Let me know how that goes!

Hi again, @Sehou !

I hope you’re having a great week.

I’m happy to hear that you’re looking to implement one of the suggested solutions. You can change the wording of the Local Delivery by following the steps below:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.

  2. Click the ... beside the theme that you want to edit.

  3. Select Edit default theme content from the dropdown menu.

  4. Use the Filter items search bar and search “Local Delivery”.

  5. From there, you will be able to enter your desired text, like “Delivery Friends & Family only”

Be sure to Save these settings and you should be all set! Let me know if you have any questions.

Does this work for marketplaces? And is so how much does it cost?

Hello there, with the Bird Pickup and Delivery app, you can enable the app widget and local delivery/pickup option only for specific customers based on the customer tags. Other customers will not see the app widget and can check out normally.
