What is the best way to add same-day local delivery to a Shopify store?
Short answer. There are two kinds of tools. Dispatch software such as Onfleet mainly helps you plan and track your own drivers; a delivery network such as Uber Direct, Stuart or RentADriver supplies the driver. RentADriver's Shopify app shows a live same-day rate at checkout, books a driver when the order is paid, and posts tracking and proof back to the Shopify order, with no drivers of your own.
Best for
- ✓ Shops without their own drivers
- ✓ Adding a same-day rate at checkout
- ✓ Keeping tracking and proof on the Shopify order
Limits and responsibilities
- • Live checkout rates need a Shopify plan with third-party carrier rates (Advanced, Plus or annual billing)
- • Manual booking from the app works on every plan
- • Coverage is city-based
How it works
- 01Install from rentadriver.ai/shopify
- 02Set the radius, cut-off and what the customer pays
- 03Paid orders book a driver automatically
- 04Tracking and proof post back to the order
