Same here. I need Doordash or UberEats integrated so we can dispatch their drivers for our local delivery orders
Topic summary
A merchant requests that Shopify open its Local Delivery API to allow integration with third-party on-demand delivery services like DoorDash Drive and Roadie. The core issue: small businesses need to combine their own delivery fleet in some locations with white-label delivery partners in others, which current Shopify limitations prevent.
Key Pain Points:
- Cannot simultaneously use Shopify’s native delivery tools and third-party courier services across different markets
- Food/restaurant platforms already offer these integrations, putting Shopify merchants at a competitive disadvantage
- Customers increasingly expect ordering through DoorDash and UberEats
Responses & Developments:
- A Shopify employee offered user interviews to gather requirements (with store credit compensation)
- Multiple merchants expressed similar needs for DoorDash/UberEats integration
- Zapiet app was mentioned as having some last-mile courier integrations, though it doesn’t fully solve the multi-location fleet management issue
- The original poster later confirmed Shopify Plus stated this feature is not on the development roadmap
- Resolution: The merchant eventually found a solution through the Nash app, which can integrate with aggregators like Otter
Several development agencies and alternative shipping zone apps promoted their services, though these don’t directly address the API integration request.
