What the app helps with

Delivery Date Control Center helps Shopify merchants control which delivery or pickup dates customers can select during checkout. It is built for stores that need date rules based on shipping methods, pickup options, cut-off times, capacity, blackout dates, and country, zone, or postcode availability. It also helps operations plan collection dates, keep Shopify order data in sync, and prevent orders from being fulfilled too early when native fulfillment holds are enabled.

Checkout date pickers

Let customers choose valid delivery or pickup dates directly in Shopify checkout.

Rules per method

Set weekdays, cut-off times, lead days, blackout dates, allowed dates, and capacity limits per shipping or pickup method.

Country, zone, and postcode rules

Use default rules for most orders, override availability per country or zone, and include or exclude postcode ranges per method.

Capacity protection

Block dates once the configured capacity for a paid-order delivery date has been reached.

Order storage

Save selected delivery dates and method keys on Shopify orders for review, planning, and support.

Operations dashboard

Review upcoming deliveries, pickup planning, capacity risks, and orders that need attention.

Collection planning

Plan internal warehouse or carrier collection dates before the customer-facing delivery date.

Fulfillment holds

Optionally place native Shopify fulfillment holds so staff do not pick or request fulfillment too early.

Customer-facing details

Show delivery information on the thank you page and optionally in Shopify order confirmation emails.

Picqer sync

Sync the selected Shopify delivery date and method key to Picqer for warehouse workflows.

FAQ

What does Delivery Date Control Center do?

It adds delivery and pickup date selection to Shopify checkout and lets merchants manage the rules that determine which dates are available.

Can I use different rules per shipping method?

Yes. Each shipping method or pickup option can have its own weekdays, cut-off time, lead days, blackout dates, allowed dates, capacity limits, and collection planning.

Can rules differ per country or delivery zone?

Yes. You can start with default rules and add zone overrides when a country or region needs different availability. You can also configure postcode availability per method.

Do I need Shopify Plus?

No for checkout date selection, rules, order metafields, tags, dashboard, and exports. Shopify Plus is most relevant when you want DDCC to hide unavailable delivery options with Shopify delivery customizations.

Where is the selected date stored?

The selected date and method key are stored on the Shopify order using order metafields, so teams can review and update delivery details after checkout.

Can staff create manual orders?

Yes. DDCC can create the required Order and Draft order metafield definitions. For final manual orders, staff can open the Shopify order and fill or edit the DDCC metafields after creation.

What happens when staff send an invoice from a draft order?

The customer completes checkout from the invoice or payment link. They can choose an available Shopify shipping option and DDCC delivery date there, so normal availability rules and cut-offs apply.

Does the app support pickup dates?

Yes. DDCC includes a pickup date picker and pickup method rules for stores that offer pickup options.

Can customers combine shipping and pickup in one order?

No. DDCC stores one date and one method per Shopify order, so a checkout should use either shipping or pickup for that order.

Can I change the app text or translations?

Yes. Merchants can choose a default language and override checkout, thank you page, and email labels in the app settings.

Can DDCC work with Picqer?

Yes. The Picqer integration can write the selected Shopify delivery date and method key to Picqer and can support delayed processing around the planned delivery or collection workflow.
