Best Shopify delivery date apps 2026, ranked
The best Shopify delivery date apps in 2026 split into three jobs, and picking the wrong job is how stores overpay or under-build. Do you need a simple “choose your delivery date” calendar at checkout? A full pickup-plus-local-delivery engine with time slots and multiple locations? Or a rules engine that blocks certain dates, enforces lead times, and validates the cart? Those are three different products, and the “best” app is whichever one matches your job. We build Shopify apps ourselves (variant images and combined listings, not a delivery app), so we rank these the way we’d want ours judged: real ratings, real pricing, honest trade-offs. Checked on the App Store in July 2026.
And here’s the reason you need one at all: Shopify has native local pickup and local delivery settings, but there’s no native customer-facing date or time-slot picker at checkout. The location logic exists; the calendar doesn’t. That gap is the entire category.

Pick the job before the app
A bakery taking pickup orders for tomorrow needs something very different from a furniture store scheduling white-glove delivery windows three weeks out. So decide which of these you are: a store that just wants customers to pick a date, a store that runs pickup and local delivery from one or more locations, or a store that needs hard rules (no Sunday delivery, 48-hour lead time, cutoff at 2pm). Then match the app to that. Most stores overbuy here, paying for a full logistics engine when a $10 calendar would’ve done the job.
The best Shopify delivery date apps compared
Ratings and review counts from the Shopify App Store, July 2026. Verify before you install; they move.
| App | Rating (reviews) | Cheapest paid | Free plan | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zapiet Pickup + Delivery | 4.9 (1,778) | $29.99/mo | No (trial) | Full pickup + delivery engine |
| Pickeasy | 5.0 (1,247) | $9.99/mo | Yes | Best value scheduler |
| Bird Pickup Delivery Date | 4.9 (468) | $19.99/mo | Yes | Balanced pickup + delivery |
| Flare Delivery Date Picker | 4.9 (108) | $39.00/mo | No | Delivery rules + validation |
| Stellar Delivery Date & Pickup | 4.7 (540) | $14.99/mo | Yes | Time-slot scheduler |
| Delivery Date Pro | 4.8 (55) | $7.99/mo | No | Cheapest date picker |
Four of these six carry the Built for Shopify badge (Zapiet, Pickeasy, Bird, Stellar), which is Shopify’s own quality bar. Flare and Delivery Date Pro don’t, though Flare’s 4.9 rating and deep rules engine still earn it a spot. Note the price spread: from Delivery Date Pro at $7.99 to Flare at $39 with no free plan. You’re not paying for the calendar; you’re paying for what happens around it.
Best value date picker: Pickeasy and Delivery Date Pro
Pickeasy by Logbase (5.0 across 1,247 reviews, Built for Shopify, from $9.99/mo with a free plan) is the value champion. A perfect rating at that review volume is rare, and it covers store pickup, local delivery, and shipping date scheduling with rates. If you want one dependable, affordable scheduler and you’re not running a complex multi-location operation, start here. Delivery Date Pro by Zestard (4.8, from $7.99/mo, no free plan) is the barebones pick: cheapest paid entry, a clean date and time picker for shipping, pickup, and local delivery, nothing fancy. Both prove you don’t need to spend $30 a month for a working calendar.
Best full pickup and delivery engine: Zapiet
Zapiet Pickup + Delivery (4.9 across 1,778 reviews, Built for Shopify, from $29.99/mo) is the heavyweight, and its review count says so. This is the app for stores running real logistics: multiple locations, pickup points, local delivery zones, rate rules, and date and time selection tied to it all. It’s more app than most stores need, which is exactly the point of picking the job first. If you’re a single-location boutique, Zapiet is overkill. If you’re a grocery chain or a florist with three shops, it’s the reference standard. Its correct App Store handle is /click-and-collect (watch out for clone listings using the Zapiet name).
Best delivery rules engine: Flare
Flare Delivery Date Picker (4.9 across 108 reviews, from $39/mo, no free plan) is the pick when the calendar is the easy part and the rules are the hard part. It’s a full delivery-date, shipping-rules, and validation engine: block specific dates, enforce lead times and cutoffs, restrict delivery by postal code or product, and validate the cart before checkout. It’s the most expensive app here, and one of the few with no free plan at all (Zapiet and Delivery Date Pro also run on trials only), so it earns its price only if you genuinely need that rule depth. We dug into exactly who that fits in our Flare review. If your needs are simpler, one of the cheaper schedulers above will serve you better.
Balanced schedulers: Stellar and Bird
Stellar Delivery Date & Pickup by Identixweb (4.7 across 540 reviews, Built for Shopify, from $14.99/mo with a free plan) sits in the sensible middle: time slots, pickup, local delivery, and shipping scheduling without Zapiet’s complexity or price. We reviewed it alongside a smart-cart tool in our look at delivery dates and smarter carts. Bird Pickup Delivery Date by BirdChime (4.9 across 468 reviews, Built for Shopify, from $19.99/mo with a free plan) is the other balanced option, a well-rated date and time picker for pickup, local delivery, and shipping. Between them you’ve got the mid-market covered.
Whichever scheduler you land on, a delivery date only helps if the rest of the buying experience is clean. If shoppers can’t tell your product variants apart, or your imported catalog is a mess of duplicate listings, the fancy calendar won’t save the sale. That’s the part we work on: clean variant images and swatches so the product page converts before the checkout calendar ever loads. And before you commit to a $39/mo app, run the numbers in our profit margin calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Does Shopify have a native delivery date picker?
No. Shopify offers native local pickup and local delivery settings (location, delivery radius, and pickup points in some regions), but there is no native customer-facing calendar or time-slot picker at checkout. If you want customers to choose a delivery or pickup date, you need an app. That gap is why this whole category exists.
What is the best Shopify delivery date app in 2026?
It depends on the job. For best value, Pickeasy (5.0 across 1,247 reviews, from $9.99/mo). For a full pickup and local-delivery engine, Zapiet (4.9 across 1,778 reviews). For deep delivery rules and cart validation, Flare. For a balanced mid-market scheduler, Stellar or Bird. Match the app to whether you need a simple picker, a logistics engine, or a rules engine.
Which delivery date apps have a free plan?
Pickeasy, Bird, and Stellar all offer a free plan. Zapiet runs on a 14-day trial with no standing free tier, and Flare and Delivery Date Pro have no free plan. If you want to test before paying, start with Pickeasy or Stellar’s free tier and upgrade once you’ve confirmed the fit.
Do I need Shopify Plus for a delivery date app?
No. Every app in this roundup works on standard paid Shopify plans, not just Plus. Delivery date pickers typically render on the product page or cart rather than inside the locked-down checkout, so they don’t require the Plus-only checkout extension access. Confirm the placement each app uses if checkout-page rendering matters to you.
