How does Azent Delivery Time Slots work?

What this app does

Azent Delivery Time Slots lets customers choose a delivery date and time during shopping, then saves that selection to the order so your team can fulfill on schedule.

It works for:

  • Shipping

  • Local Delivery

  • Store Pickup

How it works (simple flow)

  1. You configure delivery settings in the app

  2. Customers select date/time on cart or checkout

  3. The app validates availability (days, cutoff, capacity, rules)

  4. The selected slot is saved to the order

  5. You manage and review orders in the Orders dashboard

Step 1 — Merchant setup

In App → Settings, you define:

  • Delivery Dates: allowed days, lead time, cutoff time, max future days, daily capacity

  • Time Slots: start/end times, active days, slot capacity

  • Holidays: blackout dates when delivery/pickup is blocked

  • Delivery Methods: behavior per Shipping / Local Delivery / Store Pickup

  • Widget Behavior: required fields, auto-select options

  • UI Settings: labels and translations

Step 2 — Customer selection

On the storefront, the widget shows available dates and time slots based on your rules.

The app automatically checks:

  • Current store time and timezone

  • Lead time and cutoff time

  • Allowed delivery days

  • Slot capacity

  • Holidays / blackout dates

  • Delivery method rules

  • Advanced rules (if configured)

If a date or slot is not valid, customers cannot select it.

Step 3 — Order data is saved

After selection, delivery details are attached to the order and become available in your app dashboard.

You can then:

  • View all scheduled orders

  • Filter by method/date range

  • Edit delivery info

  • Add delivery info manually by Order ID

  • Export to CSV

Where customers and staff see delivery info

Customers can see delivery info in:

  • Checkout (if checkout extension is enabled)

  • Thank You page

  • Order Status page

Staff can see and manage delivery info in:

  • App → Orders dashboard

  • Shopify order notes (if enabled in General settings)

Delivery methods supported

You can configure each method separately:

  • Shipping

  • Local Delivery

  • Store Pickup

For each method, you can control:

  • Date selection on/off

  • Time slot selection on/off

  • Optional custom message shown in the widget

Plans and limits (important)

The app enforces plan limits (for example: monthly orders, number of time slots, holidays, advanced rules).

If a store reaches its monthly order limit, the widget can be disabled until the next cycle or plan upgrade.

Typical use cases

  • Grocery stores with same-day cutoff and evening slots

  • Bakeries with next-day lead time

  • Pickup-only stores with custom pickup windows

  • Multi-method stores that use different rules for shipping vs pickup

In short

Azent helps you collect accurate delivery scheduling data before fulfillment, reduce manual coordination, and keep customers informed from checkout to post-purchase pages.
