The Shopify Local Delivery Tools You Actually Need
Most Shopify stores need five local delivery tools: zones and rates, a date and time slot picker with limits…
Insights
ScrollEngine, our app, covers delivery and pickup slots, routes, a driver app and tracking in one app. Zapiet, Pickeasy and Bird schedule slots and leave routes to other apps; EasyRoutes plans routes and adds a date picker.
ScrollEngine is our product; competitor details were checked on their own pages on October 4, 2026.
Most Shopify local delivery and pickup apps do one of two jobs. Scheduling apps (Zapiet, Pickeasy and Bird) let customers choose delivery or pickup, a date and a time slot, and cap how many orders each slot takes. Routing apps (EasyRoutes) turn orders into driver routes, with a driver app and tracking. ScrollEngine, our app, does both jobs in one app, so the slot a customer books, the store that fulfills it and the driver's route all live on the same order.
Below: the five apps side by side, then what each one is good at and where ScrollEngine goes further.

We judged each app on the jobs a local delivery and pickup operation has to do every day:
ScrollEngine is listed on the Shopify App Store as Local Delivery + Pickup Date:S. Customers choose local delivery, store pickup or shipping in the cart, confirm their address is served, and book a date and slot from the serving location's calendar, with the capacity you set for each slot and day. After the order, the same app plans the routes, runs the driver app and sends tracking links, so nothing is re-keyed between apps.

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery adds "a date and time picker for in-store pickup, local delivery and shipping" and manages all three from one dashboard.

Before you install anything, here's what Shopify already covers (Help Center, checked Oct 4, 2026):
That works for one store, a flat fee and a "ready in 2 hours" promise. Once customers need to choose when, or you have more orders than one slot can take, you need an app.
Pairing a scheduler (Zapiet, Pickeasy or Bird) with a router (EasyRoutes, or one of Zapiet's partners) is a common setup: Zapiet lists EasyRoutes as a routing partner, and EasyRoutes lists Zapiet among the apps it works with. It works, but it means two plans, two sets of locations and hours to keep in sync, and one more place for a slot to go missing between checkout and the driver's route.
ScrollEngine keeps the slot, the location and the route on the same record. Each store's hours and slot limits are set once and shared by the cart, checkout and Shopify admin, and the routes start from the slots customers booked.

FAQ
ScrollEngine schedules both, with dates, time slots and a capacity per slot and per day, and also plans routes, runs a driver app and sends tracking links. Zapiet, Pickeasy and Bird schedule local delivery and store pickup. For routes and drivers, Zapiet and Bird name partner apps such as EasyRoutes, and Logbase says Pickeasy "doesn't offer fleet management or last-mile delivery". EasyRoutes plans delivery routes and reads slots from a separate date-picker app (all as of Oct 4, 2026).
Shopify's own local delivery and pickup in store are free on any Shopify plan, but neither offers bookable dates or time slots. A few apps have free plans for very low volume, such as Pickeasy for scheduling (10 orders a month) or EasyRoutes for routing (50 orders a month and one driver), as of Oct 4, 2026. ScrollEngine's paid plans start with a free trial of 7 days, so you can test slots, pickup, routes and the driver app together before you pay.
Not with Shopify's built-in settings. The Help Center pages for local delivery and pickup in store describe zones, delivery prices, minimum order prices and a pickup processing time, but no bookable delivery dates or time slots (checked Oct 4, 2026). ScrollEngine adds a date and slot picker to the cart on any Shopify plan, and inside checkout on Shopify Plus.
Not for a picker in the cart or on the product page, which works on any Shopify plan. A picker inside the checkout steps needs Shopify Plus, because Shopify makes checkout UI extensions for the information, shipping and payment steps available to Plus stores. ScrollEngine offers both: the cart widget for every Shopify plan and an in-checkout picker for Plus.
Use an app with a limit per slot and per day. ScrollEngine sets a capacity for each delivery or pickup slot and each day, per location, shared by the cart, checkout and Shopify admin. Set the limit to what your team or drivers can handle in that window, then review it before busy weeks.
