For butchers ↗TruBytes · Shopify Delivery Date Picker
Shopify delivery dates built around products, capacity and production.
TruBytes Delivery Date Manager lets customers choose valid shipping, local delivery or pickup dates from the cart while your store applies product lead times, cutoffs, capacity rules, postcode restrictions and fulfilment logic behind the scenes.
Free plan available · Built from the real fulfilment needs of an online food business.
More than a calendar
A delivery date picker that understands the basket.
A basic Shopify date picker answers one question: which date did the customer choose?
TruBytes is designed for stores where the harder question is: which dates can this particular order actually be fulfilled?
That matters when cakes need five days to make, fresh products arrive on specific dates, Saturday capacity is limited, some products are pickup-only, or local delivery rules change by postcode.
Customer scheduling
Shipping, local delivery and pickup.
Give customers clear date and time-slot choices before checkout while keeping the underlying rules under merchant control.
Offer dates you can actually fulfil
Configure delivery days, blackout dates, future booking windows, lead days and cutoffs for each fulfilment method. Time slots can carry their own capacity limits.
- Shipping, local delivery and pickup
- Date and time-slot selection
- Cutoffs and blackout dates
- Method-specific availability
Product-aware delivery
Let products change the available date.
Useful for fresh, handmade, seasonal and made-to-order stores where one basket can contain products with very different fulfilment requirements.
Product-specific delivery rules
- Preparation and lead times by product or product group
- Specific available delivery days
- Incoming-stock dates and restricted dates
- Method-restricted products
- Chill-chain lead-day rules
Capacity control
Stop overbooking production and collection slots.
Use order, value, product and time-slot limits to control how much work can land on a delivery day.
Capacity based on how you really work
- Maximum orders by day
- Maximum order value by day
- Daily product quantity limits
- Time-slot capacity by location
- Near-capacity warnings in admin workflows

Shopify tells you what customers ordered. TruBytes helps organise what needs preparing for a specific delivery day.

Shopify Admin
Use the same rules for Draft Orders.
Phone, assisted and manually created orders can use the same delivery logic rather than becoming a separate spreadsheet problem.

On Pro and Ultimate, merchants can set and edit delivery details directly from Shopify Draft Orders, with product restrictions, availability and capacity considered in the editor.
Built for operational ecommerce
Where TruBytes fits best.
The app is particularly useful where fulfilment depends on preparation time, capacity, stock timing or local delivery rules.

Different preparation times, pickup slots, collection-only products and daily production capacity.
For bakeries ↗Florists
Local delivery zones, date-specific products and capacity control for peak trading days.
For florists ↗Made-to-order stores

FAQ
Shopify delivery date picker questions.
Where does the TruBytes date picker appear?
The current storefront date-selection block is designed for the Shopify cart page before checkout. Cart-drawer and product-page date selection are not currently supported.
Can different products have different preparation times?
Yes. Product-specific lead-time rules can apply to selected products or reusable product groups, so the basket can change the earliest valid fulfilment date.
Can I limit how many orders are accepted for one day?
Yes. TruBytes supports daily order limits, product quantity limits and time-slot capacity so merchants can avoid accepting more work than they can fulfil.
Does TruBytes support local delivery and pickup?
Yes. Shipping, local delivery and pickup can each have their own availability. Local delivery can use postcode or radius rules, while pickup can use configured collection locations and slots.
Can customers choose a date inside Shopify checkout?
The public app currently uses a cart-page block. Checkout placement is not currently offered in the public version.
