**Turn on order tagging and OrderRules tags every new order with its delivery details, turning Shopify order search into a picking-list tool.**

- `delivery:YYYY-MM-DD` — the delivery date. Items on different dates get one tag per date.
- `slot:HHMM-HHMM` — the time slot (e.g. `slot:1400-1600`).
- `pickup:YYYY-MM-DD` — the pickup date for in-store pickup orders.

Tagging is **off by default**. Turn it on under **Delivery Dates → Orders & fulfillment → Order tags**. Shopify asks for order-write permission at that point, never at install. Filter Shopify orders by these tags to print or process everything due on a given date or slot. **Tag recent orders now** tags matching orders from the last 3 months.

Without tagging, the chosen date, slot, and pickup location are still saved as attributes on each order.

## Tag reference

| Pickup date | `pickup:YYYY-MM-DD` | `pickup:2026-07-19` |
