Shopify Delivery Date Picker for Wholesale & B2BConsumer checkout doesn’t fit B2B. Flare does.
Trade portals, wholesale ordering and B2B accounts need future ship dates, bulk scheduling and account-level delivery logic. Flare handles the complexity without a developer. Works on all Shopify plans — Plus checkout integration available.
Wholesale ordering needs different checkout logic.
B2B customers place large orders weeks in advance, expect future ship dates, and need delivery rules that vary by account, location and product type. Shopify's native checkout is built for consumer DTC — it doesn't support bulk scheduling, future dispatch holds, or account-specific delivery windows. Without B2B delivery logic, wholesale teams end up managing orders manually, coordinating ship dates over email, and risking fulfilment errors on high-value trade orders.
Five rules your checkout enforces automatically.
Set them once. Flare runs them on every order — 195ms average response, native Shopify checkout extension.
Future ship-date selection
Wholesale buyers choose when their order ships — not just when it arrives. Flare supports future ship-date scheduling at checkout so buyers plan their inventory intake around their own receiving schedules.
Bulk order scheduling
Large B2B orders need coordinated dispatch — Flare lets buyers select delivery windows that align with warehouse capacity and carrier availability.
Account-level delivery rules
Different trade accounts, different rules. Flare supports delivery logic by customer tag, account tier or location — so a local distributor and an international wholesaler see different available dates and methods.
Checkout integration
Flare's checkout extension runs on Checkout Extensibility APIs — 195ms average response, zero theme code, no widget to break on platform updates. Available on Shopify Plus; B2B delivery rules work on all plans.
Order tagging and 3PL automation
Ship date, delivery date, zone, method and account tier written to every order. Feeds directly into ERP, WMS and 3PL workflows — wholesale fulfilment teams see structured data, not email threads.
Why B2B orders need ship dates — not just delivery dates
Consumer checkout asks one question: “When do you want it delivered?” B2B checkout needs to ask a different question: “When should we dispatch this order?” The distinction matters. A wholesale buyer ordering 500 units for a retail restock doesn’t choose a delivery date the way a consumer chooses a birthday gift date. They choose a ship date — the day the order leaves your warehouse — because their receiving dock has intake windows, their inventory system needs a planned arrival, and their own operations depend on knowing when goods are in transit. A Shopify delivery date picker for wholesale B2B orders must support this distinction, or every trade order requires a follow-up email to confirm dispatch timing.
Ship date selection with auto-hold and release
When a B2B buyer selects a ship date two weeks from now, Flare holds the order automatically until that date using auto-hold and release logic. The order doesn’t appear in your fulfilment queue until the ship date arrives. No early picks. No warehouse space wasted on orders that aren’t due yet. The buyer’s delivery date is calculated from the ship date plus zone transit time — so both sides know exactly what to expect.
Draft orders and phone orders with full delivery rules
Wholesale ordering doesn’t always happen through the storefront. Sales reps create draft orders. Buyers call in large orders. Account managers build orders on behalf of trade accounts. Flare applies the same delivery rules — zones, cut-offs, lead times, blocked dates — to draft and manual orders as it does to checkout. A phone order for 200 units gets the same date accuracy as an online order for 2 units.
Bulk scheduling for seasonal intake
A retailer planning their autumn stock might need three separate shipments across September — one per week, arriving on specific days to match staff availability. Flare supports future ship dates weeks or months in advance, with each order tagged with its dispatch date, delivery date, zone and method. Your warehouse sees a structured dispatch schedule. Your buyer sees confirmed dates. No coordination emails.

Common questions from B2B brands.
Can wholesale buyers select a future ship date at checkout?
Yes. Flare supports future ship-date selection — buyers choose when the order dispatches, not just when it arrives. Ship dates can be set days, weeks or months in advance.
Can I set different delivery rules for different trade accounts?
Yes. Delivery rules can vary by customer tag, account tier or location. A local distributor and an international wholesaler see different available dates, methods and lead times.
Does Flare work with B2B apps and trade portals on Shopify Plus?
Yes. Flare runs as a native Shopify Plus checkout extension — compatible with B2B checkout flows, trade portal themes and wholesale pricing apps.
How does order tagging work for B2B fulfilment?
Ship date, delivery date, zone, method and account details are written to every order as tags and attributes. Your ERP, WMS or 3PL can ingest this data directly — no manual coordination.
