Let’s face it—today’s consumers are impatient, tech-savvy, and convenience-obsessed. When they buy online, they expect more than fast shipping. They want control over delivery date and the freedom to pick time slots that work with their schedules.
That’s where CX-Elevate steps in.
In a digital landscape where user experience drives conversions, CX-Elevate helps Shopify merchants turn checkout friction into seamless convenience. Built by the Autoserve team, this app makes it incredibly easy for customers to pick a delivery date and specific time slots—a small feature with massive returns.
In this blog, we’ll explore why integrating delivery date and time slots into your store isn’t just nice—it’s necessary. And we’ll show how CX-Elevate delivers (pun intended).
According to a 2024 consumer behavior study by BigCommerce, over 72% of U.S. shoppers said they are more likely to complete a purchase if they can choose a specific delivery date. Another 59% stated that time slot selection—especially for perishable goods and high-value items—directly influences trust.
Delivery date and time slots give power back to the customer. And in a customer-first economy, that’s a serious win.

The takeaway? Clear communication of the delivery date and available time slots eliminates confusion—and your support team will thank you.
CX-Elevate is a Shopify-native app that integrates directly with your storefront, allowing customers to choose their preferred delivery date and time slots during checkout or cart view.
It’s easy to set up, requires zero custom code, and is compatible with a wide range of industries:
Let’s take a deep dive into its features.
Let customers choose their ideal delivery date with an intuitive calendar widget. Merchants can block off weekends, holidays, or out-of-stock days.
Offer flexible time slots such as 9am–12pm, 1–4pm, or even “Evening Delivery.” Perfect for coordinating high-value or time-sensitive shipments.
Prevent unrealistic selections. Want to stop same-day delivery after 2 PM? You can. Need to pause weekends? Easy.
Offer unique time slots by zip code, shipping zone, or delivery method. This is great for local deliveries.
Apply delivery date options only to certain products—e.g., perishable goods—while leaving others with standard shipping.
View upcoming deliveries grouped by delivery date and time slots for smarter scheduling and forecasting.
Going global? CX-Elevate is fully translatable and friendly for international users.
Before CX-Elevate:

After CX-Elevate:
“Now with selectable delivery dates and time slots, our orders are 99% accurate. We’ve cut refund requests in half.”
Their concern was serious—live animals require precise scheduling.

Their pain point was logistics coordination.
“Once customers could pick their time slots, we organized our deliveries more efficiently. Driver complaints? Gone.”
Adding delivery date and time slots increases buyer confidence. Consider these stats from merchants using CX-Elevate:
