Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMade for florists, bakeries, cake makers, gift shops and local food. A missing or impossible date means a failed delivery and an upset customer. Delivery Guard adds a date and time slot picker to your product page and cart, then checks the choice again at checkout, even with Buy it now. Set your open days, cutoffs, closed dates and slot limits once.
Readyby adds a date picker to your product and cart pages so customers choose when their order is ready for store pickup, local delivery or shipping. Set the lead time and ready days you need per product: a custom cake can need 72 hours on weekends only while cookies need 24, and each keeps its own date in a mixed cart. Cutoffs, blackout dates and daily limits in orders or items keep shoppers to dates you can make.
- Calendar date and time slot picker on product pages, the cart and cart drawer
- Checkout refuses closed, past, late and full dates, even with Buy it now
- Holds orders with no date until the customer picks one after checkout
- Slot limits with overbooking alerts, cutoffs, prep time and closed dates
- Set lead times per product - a mixed cart uses the longest, so dates hold up
- Cap how many orders you take per day, and per pickup window
- Same-day cutoffs, open days and blackout dates close themselves
- Store pickup or local delivery, limited to the postal codes you serve
