Readyby Pickup and delivery dates for Shopify
Let customers choose when their order is ready, for store pickup or local delivery, with real lead times set per product.
Readyby adds a date picker to your product pages, built for stores that make what they sell: bakeries, butchers, florists, meal prep, custom fabrication. Most scheduling apps treat notice as one store-wide setting. Readyby sets it per product. A custom cake can need 72 hours while cookies need 24, and each keeps its own date in a mixed cart. Shoppers only ever see the dates your schedule allows.
Install in a couple of clicks and set your first lead time in minutes. The Free plan covers pickup scheduling in full, time slots included, up to 25 scheduled orders a month.

Connect a Star receipt printer and every new order with a date prints a slip in your kitchen, with no computer or app open. Reprint any slip in a click.
Shipping dates
Next to pickup and delivery, shoppers can pick the day an order ships, or an estimated arrival day with your transit time added, only on the days you ship.
Limits per product, by item
Cap a single product, like 10 custom cakes a day, or count your daily limit in items instead of orders. A full day stops being offered, even mid-cart.
What Readyby does
Lead times per product
A mixed cart keeps a date per item, so nothing is promised too soon.
Same-day cutoff
Past your cutoff time, same-day capable items roll to the next day on their own.
Daily capacity caps
Set how many orders a day you can take. Once a day hits its cap it stops being offered to shoppers.
Closed days & blackout dates
Holidays, vacations and the weekdays you’re shut come off the calendar automatically, and yearly holidays only need adding once. Products can have their own ready days too, like cakes only at weekends.
Pickup or local delivery
With postal-code zones for delivery, plus optional pickup time windows such as morning or afternoon.
Slips on your receipt printer
Connect a Star CloudPRNT printer and every new dated order prints a kitchen slip by itself: order number, ready date, method, time and items.
Shipping dates too
Shoppers who want it posted pick the day it ships, or the day it arrives with your transit time added, on the days you ship.
The date lands on the order
Whoever packs it sees exactly when it’s due.
Upcoming orders and a prep list
See every order by the day it’s due, with how many of each item to make for that day. Print it, download it as a spreadsheet, or add your orders to Google, Apple or Outlook calendar.
How it works

Lead time, same-day cutoff, open days, booking window, daily capacity, and which methods you offer.

Give the products that need more notice their own lead time.
Add the picker to your product page

Frequently asked questions
What if different products need different notice?
Set a lead time per product. With the product page picker each item keeps its own date, so a 3 day cake and a 1 day pastry can be bought together. The cart picker sets one date for the whole cart and uses the longest lead time in it.
Does Readyby change my checkout?
No. It adds a picker to your product page and writes the chosen date, method and time window onto the order. Shopify checkout is untouched.
Can I stop taking orders for one specific day?
Yes, add it as a blackout date for a one-off closure, or lower that day’s capacity. Closed days disappear from the picker.
Whose time zone do the cutoffs use?
Yours. All date math runs in the store time zone you set, so “same-day before 2pm” always means your 2pm.
Where do I get it?
Readyby is live on the Shopify App Store, with a free plan.
