Delivery dates now hold on every way to check out

Buy it now, Shop Pay, checkout links and AI shopping agents now respect your delivery dates. When a date can't be chosen before checkout, your customer can choose it right after. (Advanced plan)

• ✨ New: The delivery date picked on the product page now goes with Buy it now orders. How express buttons work →
• ✨ New: On products that require a date, Buy it now, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay wait until a date is chosen, on the product page and in the cart, with a short message telling the shopper what to do. Messages are editable in Settings → Storefront text.
• ✨ New: Wallet hold (optional, off by default) keeps wallet buttons on the product page waiting even after a date is chosen, sending those shoppers to the cart.
• ✨ New: Orders without a delivery date: choose whether checkout blocks orders from checkout links, chats and AI shopping agents that arrive without a required date, or accepts them and tags them os-date-pending. A chosen date is always still checked. Orders without a delivery date →
• ✨ New: Delivery date after the order: a block on your thank-you and order status pages shows the delivery date, or lets the customer choose one if the order doesn't have it. Set it up →
• ✨ New: Optionally let customers change their delivery date after ordering, until that date's cutoff. Capacity moves with the change, and the change is noted on the order so your team sees the current date.
• ✨ New: The delivery date block shows a preview and a connection check in Shopify's checkout editor, so you can see where it sits and that it's working before customers do.
• ✨ New: Checkout link with a delivery date: build a link with products, quantities and a delivery date already chosen, for selling by chat, email, social or phone. Checkout links →
• ✨ New: A copy-paste order confirmation email snippet that asks customers without a date to choose one.
• ✨ New: Ready-made wording to tell AI shopping agents a date is needed (for Shopify's Knowledge Base app), plus a guide for custom (headless) storefronts. AI agents and headless →
• 🚀 Improved: The Delivery Dates page shows whether checkout protection is on and turns it on in one click. Checkout protection →
• 🚀 Improved: The checkout delivery-date picker (Shopify Plus) now uses checkout protection to require the date, following Shopify's latest checkout changes.
• 🚀 Improved: Clearer checkout message when a date is missing: "Please choose a delivery date. Go back to your cart to pick one."
• 🚀 Improved: OrderRules now runs on Shopify's latest API version (2026-10). Nothing to do on your side.
• 🐛 Fixed: When OrderRules is switched off, no delivery button is held back and no delivery rule blocks checkout.
• 🐛 Fixed: Two customers changing their date at the same moment can no longer both take the last place on a day.
