Customers often have specific dates in mind for deliveries - birthdays, events, or when they’ll be home. Let them add delivery date preferences to their Shopify orders.

​
Why Shopify delivery date preferences help

Gift Timing Coordination

Customers can specify when gifts should arrive for birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays.

Event Planning

Items needed for weddings, parties, or business events get delivery date preferences noted.

Customer Availability

Shoppers can indicate when they’ll be home to receive packages or coordinate with recipients.

Better Communication

Clear delivery preferences help your fulfillment team understand customer timing needs.

​
How customers add delivery date preferences

1

Access delivery date option

From the Revize Customer Portal, customers click Add preferred delivery date to open the date selection interface.
2

Select preferred date

Click in the date field and choose their preferred delivery date from the calendar picker.
3

Save delivery preference

Click Save to add the preferred delivery date to their order as a customer note.
4

Order updated with preference

The delivery date preference appears in the order’s additional details and notes for your fulfillment team.

​
How delivery date preferences work

What customers can do:
  • Select any future date as their delivery preference
  • Add the date preference during their edit window
  • Change or update the preferred date if needed
How it appears in Shopify:
  • Added to order attributes as preferred_delivery_date
  • Shows in “Additional details” section on the order page
  • Visible to your fulfillment team for coordination
Important: This is a preference note, not a guaranteed delivery date. It helps your team understand customer timing needs, but doesn’t automatically change shipping or guarantee delivery on that specific date.
