Preferred Delivery Date

A calendar date picker at checkout. Past dates and tomorrow are blocked out of the box, so shoppers can't ask for a delivery you can't make.

Preferred Delivery Date template as it appears in Shopify checkout
When to use

For date-sensitive orders: flowers, cakes, gifts for an occasion, or scheduled furniture drops.

When not to use

If you can't guarantee a specific day, a date picker sets an expectation you'll miss.

Configuration

3 settings. All editable.

These are the defaults the template installs with. Most merchants only customize one or two of these.

Ask about this template
  • How long does this template take to install?

    Under two minutes. The blocks arrive pre-configured to spec — preview in the Shopify checkout editor and ship, usually without touching a thing.

  • Can I customize the copy after installing?

    Yes — every label and message is editable from the checkout editor. No code, no liquid. Edit, save, done.

  • Will this template conflict with my other installed apps?

    We test against the top 20 checkout apps every quarter — no conflicts. Find one and we'll fix it or refund.

  • Can I uninstall later if it doesn't work for my store?

    Yes — uninstall from Shopify admin like any app. Blocks stop rendering, checkout reverts to default. We keep your config for 90 days.
