š CX Elevate: Date Time Picker is available now on Shopify app store
Shopify app store
For U.S. merchants, scaling success often means facing operational chaos where high sales volumes overwhelm fulfillment capacity, inevitably damaging Customer Experience (CX). The critical solution is a mechanism to govern order intake, ensuring you only accept what your team can realistically deliver or prepare for pickup. That powerful control is the core focus of the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 Update, a strategic major release designed to transform your operations from a reactive state to a proactively managed, efficient fulfillment pipeline, allowing you to scale confidently without sacrificing service quality.
The single most impactful feature in this release is the introduction of granular Order Limits. This is the operational governor every high-growth merchant needs. It acts as the intelligent bridge between your storefront and your actual, physical capacity.
For too long, merchants have had to manually block off dates or use cumbersome spreadsheet systems. The CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update replaces this manual labor with an intuitive, two-tiered system for controlling fulfillment intake directly within the app settings. This is where you, the merchant, define your maximum bandwidth.
This primary layer in the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 Order Limits tab allows you to set your default, everyday operational limit. As you can see in the settings, this is split by fulfillment method, offering unparalleled operational clarity:
- Enable for Delivery Date: You can set a maximum number of orders per day that you are willing to fulfill via your delivery service. For instance, if your fleet or third-party logistics provider can only handle 150 deliveries daily, you set the limit to 150. Once this cap is hit, the delivery option for that day is automatically greyed out for new customers.
- Enable for Pickup Date: Separately, you define your in-store capacity. If your staff can comfortably handle 80 pickup orders without creating chaos at the counter, you set the limit to 80.
The ability to control these limits independently is crucial. As an owner of a gourmet pizza shop in Seattle might realize, their delivery capacity is limited by drivers, but their pickup capacity is limited by oven space. CX Elevate v.1.1.5 respects these distinct logistical constraints.
This baseline control ensures that even on a standard Tuesday, you won't accidentally overbook and compromise service quality.
While the daily limit handles your average workload, high-demand periodsālike Thanksgiving, Valentineās Day, or Motherās Dayārequire surgical precision. This is where the Specific Date Limits functionality in CX Elevate v.1.1.5 shines.
As illustrated in the interface (referencing the calendar view), you can easily click a specific dateāsay, November 27, 2025āto override the baseline Daily Limit.
Upon clicking a date, a popup appears allowing you to:
1. Set a Custom Order Limit: You might increase the limit for a holiday (e.g., boosting your daily limit from 100 to 200 orders for a major sales day) or drastically reduce it for a known slow day or a required maintenance day (e.g., setting the limit to 20 or even 0).
2. Specify Application: Crucially, you can apply this specific limit to Delivery, Pickup, or Both.

For example: A floral shop in Boston might be able to handle 500 orders on Valentine's Day. They could set a specific limit of 300 for Delivery (due to limited drivers) and a specific limit of 200 for Pickup (to manage foot traffic). This level of control, housed simply in the calendar interface, is a massive leap forward in logistics management delivered by CX Elevate v.1.1.5.
Setting a limit is only half the battle; enforcing it naturally is where the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update truly shines. The enforcement needs to be immediate and non-disruptive.
The new Cart Drawer: Order Limit Enforcement functionality ensures that capacity limits are respected the moment a customer interacts with your cart. If a customer is browsing and puts an item in their cart, and they've chosen a date that has just hit its specific or daily limit, the app dynamically updates the cart experience. The date picker will clearly communicate that the day is fullāno confusing error messages at the final checkout step.
For growing businesses, especially those operating across state lines or multiple metropolitan areas, managing fulfillment is simply untenable. Thatās why the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 release delivers an essential feature for expansion: Multiple Location Support.
Think of a thriving specialty coffee roaster in Massachusetts who opens a second cafƩ and roastery in New York City. They aren't just selling coffee beans; they are selling local pickup convenience. Their customers need to be able to tell the system exactly where they plan to collect their order.
The Multiple Location Support feature (available for PRO & ELITE plans) makes this straightforward:
1. Sync with Shopify: The system seamlessly pulls the list of available locations directly from your Shopify store's settings. This ensures the app always uses the most accurate, up-to-date addresses for your fulfillment centers.
2. Customer Selection UI: Once enabled (as seen in the screenshot), the app displays these locations under the Pickup Date Picker, allowing the shopper to select their preferred pickup spot.
This capability is the bedrock of intelligent scaling. It transforms your operations from a monolithic single unit into a network of optimized, independently controlled fulfillment hubs. This flexibility provided by CX Elevate v.1.1.5 is paramount for U.S. retailers seeking regional dominance.
We understand that powerful features must be paired with intuitive experiences. The CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update includes several key user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) improvements:
- Pickup Location Extension UI Update: A refreshed, cleaner interface for customers to select their preferred pickup spot. This reduces selection frictionāa subtle, yet powerful, move to boost local pickup adoption.
- Cart Drawer UI Refinement: We've given the cart drawer a more compact, less cluttered look, ensuring the critical delivery/pickup selection is prominent without overwhelming the shopper.
- Minor UI Enhancements to Extensions: Subtle styling improvements across all extension blocks for a polished, modern storefront presentation that feels native to any high-end Shopify theme.
These changes, while minor on their own, collectively polish the customer journey, making the selection process feel effortless and professionalāa crucial factor for premium brands.
For our enterprise-level merchants leveraging the power of Shopify Plus, the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update introduces a critical feature that solidifies your ability to scale confidently: Checkout Extension for Shopify Plus.
Shopify Plus merchants thrive on control and customization, especially at the point of highest conversion: the final checkout. With CX Elevate v.1.1.5, we now offer full support for extension blocks on the Shopify Plus checkout.
Why this matters:
- Final Validation: Your precise availability logic, driven by the new Order Limits, is seamlessly integrated into the final step of the purchasing process. This ensures that even if a customer bypasses the cart or product page (e.g., via a direct link), the date they select is rigorously validated against current capacity.
- Unified Brand Experience: Maintaining a consistent, branded experience through the checkout funnel is essential for large-scale operations. This extension support ensures the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 functionality looks and feels like a native part of your brand ecosystem.
This move continues our mission to help the largest U.S. merchants scale without compromising their bespoke fulfillment processes. As one of our beta users, the Head of E-commerce for a national floristry chain, put it:
"The ability to run our availability checks inside the Shopify Plus checkout is massive. It eliminates the last point of failure for capacity overflow. It means our enterprise logistics can now truly talk to our e-commerce platform in real-time."
To ensure rock-solid reliability across all surfaces, we've updated the core logic for Product & Cart Extensions. This enhancement ensures that the new Order Limit validation is consistent and fast whether a customer is browsing an individual product page or interacting with the quick-view cart drawer. Consistency is the silent hero of great customer experience, and the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update delivers it flawlessly.
While the big-ticket features grab the headlines, the true maturity of the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update lies in the subtle but profound improvements in performance, flexibility, and stability.
Sometimes, the best feature is the ability to turn a feature off when it's not needed. Merchants can now implement a Dynamic Rule to Hide Extensions based on specific conditions.
A Practical Example: Hiding the Date Picker for Gift-card products.
Since gift cards are digital (or shipped via standard, non-time-sensitive logistics), asking a customer to select a delivery or pickup date creates unnecessary friction and confusion. You can now set a rule to hide the extension when a gift card is in the cart, simplifying the checkout flow and improving conversion rates for non-logistical products. This small change dramatically improves the usability of the app for merchants with diverse product catalogs, a common challenge the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 tackles head-on.
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, speed is not just a featureāit's a requirement. The CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update includes a significant Performance Optimization for Order Limit Logic.
We reduced the frequency and volume of Shopify Admin API calls required to enforce the daily order limits. Why does this matter to you?
- Faster Loading Times: Less API chatter means your storefront loads the availability selector faster.
- Reduced Throttling Risk: For high-volume merchants, less API usage reduces the risk of hitting Shopify's rate limits, ensuring your inventory and availability checks are always real-time.
This is a technical upgrade that translates directly into a smoother, faster shopping experience for your U.S. customer base. The speed of the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 validation is critical for minimizing cart abandonment.
A powerful feature set is only as good as the foundation it rests upon. The CX Elevate v.1.1.5 release addresses several critical fixes and stability improvements that ensure a flawless experience for all merchants, from the free tier user to the enterprise-level customer.
1. Free Tier Location Setting Bug: We squashed an issue that was preventing merchants on the free plan from saving their location settings correctly. Every merchant, regardless of size, deserves a reliable setup. The stability of CX Elevate v.1.1.5 is paramount.
2. Product Extension Placement: Resolved display issues where the product extension blocks were not rendering correctly when used with custom or non-standard theme placements. The app now plays better with unique theme structures.
3. Cart Drawer Navigation Flow: We improved the navigation behavior when customers transition from the cart drawer pop-up to the full cart page, eliminating minor visual glitches and ensuring a smooth journey.
4. Calendar Styling (Flatpickr): Corrected visual inconsistencies with date colors for future months in the date picker, ensuring a clean, professional look no matter how far out a customer schedules their order.
These fixes represent our commitment to product excellence, ensuring that the powerful functionality of CX Elevate v.1.1.5 is delivered without distracting technical friction.
Beyond the major new features, the maturity of any great software lies in its optimization and polish. The CX Elevate v.1.1.5 update includes several key changes that aren't flashy, but directly translate to a faster, smoother, and more professional experience for both the merchant and the customer.
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, speed is not just a featureāit's a requirement for conversion. The new Order Limits functionality, while powerful, must execute flawlessly and quickly.
To achieve this, the CX Elevate v.1.1.5 engineering team focused on deep-level optimization:
- Reduced Shopify Admin API Calls: We have drastically lowered the number and frequency of calls made to the Shopify Admin API when enforcing daily order limits.
- Improved Speed and Efficiency: Fewer API calls mean less waiting time for your systems. For the merchant, this translates into faster loading times for the date picker and a near real-time validation of availability, even during heavy traffic periods. This improved backend efficiency ensures that high-volume U.S. merchants using CX Elevate v.1.1.5 will face minimal risk of being throttled by Shopify's API limits.
- Cart Drawer UI Refinement: We analyzed customer behavior and redesigned the cart drawer experience. The new layout is more compact, reducing visual clutter and presenting the critical delivery/pickup selection area in a cleaner, more intuitive way. This refinement is critical because a less cluttered interface leads to less cognitive load and higher conversion rates.
- Minor UI Enhancements to Extensions: Subtle styling adjustments have been applied across all extension blocks (Date Pickers, Location Selectors, etc.). These subtle improvements result in a more polished storefront presentation that looks perfectly integrated and native to any modern Shopify theme.
These changes demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that the power and control offered by CX Elevate v.1.1.5 are delivered through an elegant, high-converting customer experienc

The CX Elevate v.1.1.5 platform now provides the two-pronged control - Daily Limits and Specific Date Limitsāthat removes the guesswork from logistics.
