This feature helps you prevent or allow pickup, delivery or shipping for certain items on specific dates of the year.


Requirements

  • You need to be on the Advanced plan or higher with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.

  • You need to have the date picker turned on.

  • If you are using the time picker, the days that your date restrictions fall on need to be enabled under pickup/delivery availability.

    • Example: Delivery is available on Mon and Fri, but your date restricted product is delivered only on Wed, 2nd of March. In that case, you would need to enable Wed as your delivery day, and add blackout dates for delivery so other products are not available on Wed.


Add product date restrictions for pickup

  1. Within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Locations, select the location you'd like to add a restriction to.

  2. Under the Store pickup section, click Edit settings.

  3. Find the Product date restrictions section, and click Add product date restriction.

  4. In the modal that opened, select the product you'd like to restrict, and click Add.
    If you have a lot of products, find the one you need in the Search products field.
    You can select multiple products at once if they have the same date restrictions.

  5. In the second modal, you can allow or disable pickup on selected dates.

  6. Select a date, and click +Add date.
    You can select one date, or a date range. For multiple non-connected dates, you need to click +Add date for each date individually.

  7. When you've added all the dates, click Done.

  8. Click Save.

The products you've added will now be restricted to those dates for pickup.

Those restrictions will now reflect in the widget.

Limitations

  • Blackout dates will not be applied to your date restricted products if the date restricted product is the only one in the cart. If your customer has a mixed cart in this scenario, they will not be able to check out.

    • Example: Product A is a regular product with a blackout date on March 1st. Product B is a date restricted product available only on March 1st.

      • Product B only in the cart—March 1st available (blackout date not applied)

      • Product A only in the cart—March 1st not available (blackout date applied)

      • Product A and B in the cart—no dates available

  • Product specific preparation times do not apply to the date restricted products. If you need longer preparation time for your date restricted products, contact us on [email protected].

  • Delivery times will not show when product date restrictions fall on days when delivery is not available, because no time slots are set up for those days. Make sure your delivery days match the days of your restricted dates. You can use the blackout dates feature to remove those days for your regular products.

  • Due to a Shopify limitation, only the first 50 products are visible when adding product date restrictions. Other products can be found using a search bar.
