I need to set up order delivery scheduling for my Shopify store so customers can select their preferred delivery date. Here are the details:

Store name: [YOUR STORE NAME]
Delivery area: [e.g., local only within 50 miles, nationwide, international]
Delivery options: [e.g., standard 5-7 days, express 2-3 days, same-day local, scheduled date]
Business days only: [YES/NO - do you deliver on weekends?]
Blackout dates: [LIST ANY, e.g., holidays, maintenance days]
Lead time needed: [MINIMUM DAYS BETWEEN ORDER AND DELIVERY]

Please help me set up:


  A delivery date picker on the checkout page where customers can select their preferred delivery date from a calendar.
  Configuration rules for the date picker: block dates within the minimum lead time, block blackout dates and holidays, limit weekend selection if business-days-only, and set a maximum future scheduling window of [NUMBER] days.
  Delivery time window options if applicable, such as “Morning (9AM-12PM),” “Afternoon (12PM-5PM),” or “Evening (5PM-8PM).”
  Different lead times by shipping method: same-day requires ordering before [CUTOFF TIME], express needs [NUMBER] days lead time, standard needs [NUMBER] days lead time.
  Capacity limits per delivery date to prevent overbooking: maximum [NUMBER] orders per day or per time window.
  Store the selected delivery date as an order attribute and display it in the order details within Shopify admin.
  Automated email confirmation that includes the selected delivery date and time window prominently.
  A daily delivery schedule report for the fulfillment team showing: all orders due for delivery that day, sorted by time window and route.
  Customer notification workflow: reminder email 1 day before scheduled delivery, and a notification when the order is out for delivery.
  A rescheduling process: allow customers to change their delivery date up to [NUMBER] hours before the scheduled time via a link in their confirmation email.
  Handling for missed deliveries: automated follow-up and rescheduling options.
  Integration with route planning for local deliveries to optimize delivery order and reduce costs.

Expected Output

Set up delivery date scheduling at checkout so customers can choose preferred delivery windows.
