Let customers pick a delivery date from a calendar at checkout
Shoppers choose the exact date and time that works best for them. You stay in full control by only offering options you can fulfill.
- Protect time-sensitive products like perishables with custom lead times, cutoffs, transit limits, and blocked dates for specific carriers, warehouses, or products.
- Pre-select the date with the most cost-effective shipping rate. Control how far out customers can book.
- Let shoppers choose a delivery time slot, like noon to 2 PM (available for table rate shipping methods), preventing porch piracy and spoilage.
- Offer preorders and let customers select a future delivery date. Dates are based on when items will be ready to ship.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ShipperHQ Enhanced Checkout?
Enhanced Checkout enhances the default shipping section of your checkout with delivery date selection, time slots, an in-store pickup map, and separate delivery options for each shipment. Every option it shows is based on the shipping rules you set in ShipperHQ.
What’s the difference between a standard checkout and Enhanced Checkout with ShipperHQ?
Standard checkout uses your ecommerce platform’s native flow with ShipperHQ providing rates, delivery estimates, and shipping options based on your rules. Enhanced Checkout replaces the default shipping section with a user interface that gives customers more delivery certainty and control, including:
- Date and time slot selectors
- Interactive calendar display
- In-store pickup with map-based location selection
- Separate delivery options for mixed carts and preorders
Which ecommerce platforms support Enhanced Checkout?
Enhanced Checkout is fully compatible with Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, and Magento 2. On BigCommerce, it adds the delivery date calendar, in-store pickup map, and time slots.
How do I add a delivery date picker to Shopify?
Install ShipperHQ from the Shopify App Store, add your carriers and origins, then turn on Delivery Date & Time and Enhanced Checkout. Choose the “calendar display” option for each carrier and set your lead times, cutoffs, and blackout dates. Customers then select a delivery date from a calendar in the shipping section of checkout.
Why choose Enhanced Checkout over a delivery date picker app or a custom build?
nhanced Checkout runs on the same rules that calculate your shipping rates, so the calendar only shows dates you can meet based on your lead times, cutoffs, transit times, and blackout dates by origin, product, and carrier. You get the date picker, time slots, pickup map, and split shipments in one place instead of stacking apps or maintaining custom code. Every selected date also flows into Advanced Shipment Details, along with the dispatch date your team needs to ship on time.
How does Enhanced Checkout decide which delivery dates to show?
The calendar only shows dates you can hit. It uses the lead time, cutoff time, max days in transit, and blackout dates you set by warehouse, product line, carrier, or shipping method. You also choose how many days the calendar shows and which days customers can select.
Can customers select a delivery date and time slot at checkout?
Yes. Customers choose a date from a calendar, then a time slot. Time slots are available for in-store pickup and for delivery methods that use table rates.
Do I need Enhanced Checkout for split shipping?
It depends on your platform. Split shipping is supported natively on Shopify Plus without Enhanced Checkout. On Shopify Plus, Enhanced Checkout adds the delivery date picker, time slots for delivery and pickup, and a pickup location map. Enhanced Checkout is required for split shipping on Adobe Commerce and Magento 2. Split shipping is not currently available on BigCommerce.
Which ShipperHQ plans support Enhanced Checkout?
Enhanced Checkout is available on the ShipperHQ Enterprise plan.
