Set a Deliver By Date

To ensure your recipient gets an order on time, you can set a Deliver by Date for your orders in ShipStation. Being able to see the Deliver by Date for orders inside of ShipStation lets you select the service that will deliver the order on time. Check the Available Features section of your store's ShipStation integration guide to see if they support Deliver by Date.

The following stores currently support the Deliver by Date feature:

Orders that include a Deliver by Date offer several benefits:

  • Guaranteed support for your Amazon Prime and Shopify Promise orders

  • Visibility of the Delivery By Date in the order details.

  • Use Deliver by Date to filter specific orders in ShipStation in Awaiting Shipment, Awaiting Payment, or On Hold statuses.

  • Add or pin the column in a saved view to show Deliver By Date in your Orders grid.

  • Sort orders in the Orders grid by the Deliver by Date. (Please note that this field is not available on the Shipments grid.)

  • Use the Deliver by Date to trigger an automation rule.

  • Ability to process and batch orders according to their Deliver by Date

  • View reports about on-time delivery data to make strategic recommendations for services (switch to a new service to be on time).

Currently, you can only set a Deliver by Date on single orders. The feature to bulk update multiple orders is coming soon.
