RP Local Delivery Date for Local Delivery and Pickup

Use RP Local Delivery Date to let customers choose an available delivery or pickup date and time directly from your Shopify storefront.

This guide walks you through installation, location setup, delivery areas, pickup options, scheduling, delivery rates, theme placement, testing, and common troubleshooting steps.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

  • A Shopify account with permission to install apps

  • At least one delivery or pickup location

  • Your delivery hours and pickup hours

  • Your cutoff times and required preparation time

  • A list of blackout dates, such as holidays

  • Your delivery zones, postal codes, ZIP codes, or radius

  • Your delivery fees, if applicable

For the smoothest launch, configure and test one location before adding the rest of your locations.

1. Install RP Local Delivery Date

  1. Open the RP Local Delivery Date listing in the Shopify App Store.

  2. Click Install.

  3. Sign in to the correct Shopify store if prompted.

  4. Review the requested permissions.

  5. Approve the installation.

  6. In Shopify admin, go to Apps → RP Local Delivery Date.

The app should now open from your Shopify admin.

2. Create your first location

  1. Open Shopify admin → Apps → RP Local Delivery Date.

  2. Select the option to add a location.

  3. Enter the location name and address.

  4. Enable Local delivery, Local pickup, or both.

  5. Add the operating hours for each enabled service.

  6. Configure the delivery or pickup schedule.

  7. Save the location.

Open the saved location again to confirm that your changes were recorded.

3. Set up local delivery areas

You can define where local delivery is available using the method that best matches your business:

  • Radius: Deliver within a specified distance from a location.

  • Postal or ZIP codes: Deliver only to an approved list of codes.

  • Map area: Draw or select the geographic area you serve.

To configure a delivery area:

  1. Open the location you want to edit.

  2. Go to its local delivery settings.

  3. Choose your delivery restriction method.

  4. Enter the radius, postal or ZIP codes, or map boundary.

  5. Add any minimum-order requirements or delivery fees that apply.

  6. Save your changes.

  7. Test one address that should qualify and one address that should not qualify.

If you operate multiple locations, review each location separately to prevent overlapping or conflicting delivery rules.

4. Set up local pickup

  1. Open the appropriate location in RP Local Delivery Date.

  2. Enable local pickup for that location.

  3. Add the days and hours when customers can collect orders.

  4. Set the minimum preparation or lead time.

  5. Add pickup time slots if you want customers to choose a specific window.

  6. Add blackout dates when pickup will be unavailable.

  7. Save your changes.

If pickup is available from more than one location, repeat these steps for each location.

5. Configure dates, times, and time slots

Use scheduling rules to control what customers can select.

Review and configure:

  • Available delivery and pickup days

  • Opening and closing times

  • Lead time or preparation time

  • Same-day or next-day cutoff times

  • Time-slot length

  • Maximum orders per time slot, if available

  • Blackout dates

  • Holiday or seasonal schedules

After saving, test dates before and after your cutoff time to make sure customers see the correct options.

6. Configure delivery rates

Delivery rates can vary by location or delivery area.

  1. Open the relevant location or area.

  2. Go to its delivery-rate settings.

  3. Enter the delivery fee and any conditions that apply.

  4. Save the rate.

  5. Test an eligible cart and delivery address.

Some delivery-rate configurations may require Shopify real-time carrier rate capability. Check your current Shopify plan and shipping settings if a configured fee does not appear at checkout.

7. Restrict products by location

If certain products are available only from specific locations:

  1. Open the location you want to manage.

  2. Find its product-availability settings.

  3. Select the products available for delivery or pickup from that location.

  4. Remove products that should not be offered there.

  5. Save your changes.

  6. Test both an eligible and an ineligible product.

  1. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.

  2. Identify your current live theme.

  3. Duplicate the theme before making major changes.

  4. Click Customize.

  6. Add the RP Local Delivery Date app block, if available.

  7. Enable the app embed, if your setup uses one.

  8. Position the picker where customers can easily find it before checkout.

  9. Save the theme.

If your store uses a cart drawer, quick cart, or heavily customized theme, test that experience carefully. Contact support before editing theme code.

Review the app and theme settings for options to customize:

  • Delivery and pickup labels

  • Instructions shown to customers

  • Date and time wording

  • Colors and spacing

  • Visibility rules

  • Locale and translations

RP Local Delivery Date integrates with Shopify localization and supports more than 25 languages. Customize the available wording for your store's locale, then test the storefront in each language you publish.

Test the complete customer journey on both desktop and mobile.

  1. Open the storefront in a private or incognito browser window.

  2. Add an eligible product to the cart.

  3. Confirm the delivery or pickup picker appears.

  5. Test an eligible and ineligible delivery address.

  6. Select an available date and time.

  7. Confirm blackout dates cannot be selected.

  10. Continue through checkout and verify that the selected information is retained.
