Delivery & pickup features for florists

Create delivery zones with normalized Canadian postal codes, including spaces and forward-sortation-area patterns, alongside the U.S. ZIPs and wildcards the zones already accepted.

Zones also accept postal codes in the formats used in Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Venezuela. Use wildcards such as SW1A* to cover a whole district in one line.

Customers still get the same clear delivery flow while the shop keeps rates tied to the areas it can actually serve.

Building the zones is only half the job; see how to price delivery by zone for the rate-setting methodology.

Turn on the “Check if we deliver to your area” bar from your theme editor. Shoppers type a ZIP or postal code and get a clear yes or no, with the delivery fee if you choose to show it. The text and colors are yours to edit.

The result is remembered and pre-fills the cart widget, so the shopper doesn't type it twice. You can also require a matching postal code on the product page before an arrangement can be added to the cart.

When the delivery verifier is enabled, the NuFlorist cart widget checks the shopper’s postal code against the merchant’s configured carrier rate.

The cart-widget checkout button stays hidden until the address verifies as deliverable. This applies to the NuFlorist cart-widget flow; checkout reached through other paths follows your store's own Shopify configuration.

List the postal codes that always get free delivery, with wildcards for whole areas. Or set a store-wide order minimum: once the cart reaches it, the zone's delivery fee is waived.

Rush fees still apply, so a free-delivery order that needs same-day service still pays for it. Promote the offer in the zip code checker bar with an editable “Free delivery on orders over” message.

Inside every delivery zone, a “Rush rates” card sets the rush cutoff, the delivery time, and the fee added on top of the zone's base rate. A “Delivery times” card sets the windows shoppers can choose for that zone.

Nearby neighborhoods and far-off suburbs can each carry the price and timing that actually fits the drive.

The Today’s orders view gives staff a focused list of the flower orders scheduled for the current day.

Each delivery order includes a directions action that opens its address in Google Maps, one tap from reading the order to navigating to it.

Set cutoff times around the way the design bench, driver schedule, and pickup counter actually operate.

Set delivery and pickup cutoffs separately, in your shop's timezone, and choose how many days to close once a cutoff passes. Shops that don't do same-day delivery can use a next-day cutoff, which closes orders for the next delivery day at a set time.

Clear cutoffs help the storefront stop accepting a fulfillment promise after the shop can no longer meet it.

Apply blocked delivery dates to the products that need them instead of shutting down the whole shop calendar.

Use a specific date, a relative day, or a date range for selected Online Store collections, useful for gift boxes, holiday items, or products with their own production schedule.

Create a pre-order window with a name, the collections it covers, and a start and end date. Those products can only be delivered or picked up inside the window, and the cart calendar opens only those dates.

Product pages show a pre-order badge, your own note, and your own add-to-cart label. Carts that mix pre-order items with everyday products are stopped at add to cart with a message you write, so one order never has two fulfillment dates.

Turn an unavailable date into a useful next step. When a collection rule blocks the shopper’s chosen date, NuFlorist can present products that are still available.

This is a date-availability suggestion, not a generic cart upsell, so the alternative stays connected to the shopper’s fulfillment need.

Turn on the fields your shop needs in “Delivery settings” and preview the cart widget live before you save. Options include the recipient's name and phone, the sender's phone, notes for the florist, special instructions for delivery or pickup, and an “okay to leave if nobody answers?” question.

At checkout, the recipient fills the shipping address and the sender phone fills billing, so shoppers don't enter the same details twice.

Choose the collections that contain wine, champagne, or spirits. When any of those products is in the cart, the shopper has to confirm they are 21 or older before continuing to delivery checkout.
