Delivery Date & Time-Slot Picker
ADVANCEDLet customers choose exactly when their order arrives — a delivery date and time slot right on the product page or in the cart. Then cap each date and slot so a day stops taking orders once it's full.
- Delivery date selector on the checkout page (Shopify Plus)
- Date + time-slot picker on product & cart pages
- Per-item or per-order delivery dates
- Lead time, order cutoff, weekdays & booking horizon

PROGive each product its own capacity cap. Perfect for custom items, limited editions, or anything you make by hand.
- Individual product caps
- Per-variant limits
- Daily, weekly, or monthly reset periods
- Works with existing inventory tracking
Limits by delivery date
ADVANCEDCap what you can actually produce in a day. Daily limits count against the delivery date the customer picks, not the day they ordered — so ten a day means ten for Friday, however early those orders arrive. Delivery and pickup share the same cap.
- Daily limits counted by delivery date, not order date
- Per-variant caps — ten medium, fourteen large, from one product
- Delivery and in-store pickup share one daily cap
- Shoppers see how many are left for a date, and full dates grey out
- The Products table surfaces your most constrained upcoming date
- Cancellations return capacity to the date they were booked for
Per-Customer Purchase Limits
PROEnforce purchase limits per customer to prevent hoarding and scalping. Limit how many orders, units, or dollars each customer can place per day, week, month, or lifetime — with strict login enforcement to block guest checkout workarounds.

- Quantity limits per customer
- Per-customer spending caps (dollar limits)
- Daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / lifetime periods

Step Quantity & Increment Rules

- Storefront PDP badge: '📦 Order in multiples of 6'
