Blackout dates & holidays
1 min read
Blackout dates remove specific days from the delivery picker so customers can't book them.
- Manual blackouts. Add any date you can't deliver, with an optional reason for your own records.
- Copy store holidays. One click imports your Shopify store-closed dates as delivery blackouts — no re-typing the calendar you already maintain.
- Per-location blackouts. Each in-store pickup location can carry its own blackout dates, independent of delivery.
Blackouts also feed the estimated delivery date engine, which skips them (along with weekends and national holidays) when it counts business days.
Three ways to blank out a date
| Source | Covers | Set where |
|---|---|---|
| Manual blackout | Any single date you can't deliver | Delivery → Blackout dates |
| Copied store holidays | Your existing Shopify store-closed dates | One click, no re-typing |
| Per-location blackout | One pickup location only, independent of delivery | The location's own settings |
