It supports three delivery methods: local delivery, store pickup, and shipping. The widget can be displayed on the product page, cart page, or cart drawer, and automatically adapts to the store's branding. Merchants define their availability using recurring weekly schedules, block holidays, or add one-off dates. They can set order limits per day and per time slot, configure cut-off times and preparation times per delivery method, product, or location. When a customer places an order, the selected date and time are attached to the Shopify order as tags and line item properties. Staff receive email notifications, and the information appears on order confirmation emails, POS receipts, and the Shopify admin order screen. ## Who uses Buunto Buunto is trusted by 3000+ merchants in 70+ countries. It is used by Shopify merchants who deliver or offer pickup for their products: florists, bakeries, restaurants, fishmongers, butchers, meal prep services, farm boxes, and other businesses where customers need to choose when they receive their order. Notable customers include The Fish Society (UK's #1 online fishmonger), Project D, Colette, Source, Garden on a Roll, and Mary Kwong. ## Scheduling and availability - Recurring weekly schedules for each delivery method - Block holidays and specific dates - Add one-off (ad-hoc) dates and time slots - Order limits per day and per time slot (Advanced and Unlimited plans) - Cut-off times configurable per delivery method, product, or location - Preparation time configurable per delivery method, product, or location - Date and time validation at checkout to prevent invalid selections - Block individual days and time slots ## Store pickup and locations - Syncs with existing Shopify store locations - Unlimited pickup locations on the Unlimited plan, regardless of Shopify plan limits - Google Maps links for easy customer navigation - Per-location scheduling and availability - Each location can have its own time slots, cut-off times, and holidays ## Design and placement - Display on product page, cart page, or cart drawer - Calendar widget or dropdown widget - Automatically matches the store's typography and design - Built-in colour pickers for customisation - Custom CSS support for full control - Shopify theme app extension and app embed - Automatic or manual placement via the theme editor - Fully responsive on mobile, tablet, and desktop ## Accessibility - Fully usable via screen readers and keyboard navigation - Follows European Accessibility Act (EAA) recommendations - Works on all screen sizes and devices ## Delivery surcharges - Add surcharges for specific days of the week (Advanced and Unlimited plans) - Express delivery fees for shorter delivery windows - Item-based surcharges for specific products ## Checkout delivery options sync Buunto can sync the customer's delivery selection directly to the Shopify checkout shipping method.

It lets your customers choose when they want their order delivered, shipped, or picked up, giving you full control over your fulfillment schedule. **How do I install Buunto on my Shopify store?** Install Buunto directly from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, open the app from your Shopify admin, configure your delivery methods and schedule, then enable the widget on your storefront using the theme editor. No coding required. **Which Shopify plans does Buunto work with?** Buunto works with all Shopify plans: Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Plus. You get the same great product regardless of which Shopify plan you're on. Pricing is based on order volume, not your Shopify plan. **How long does setup take?** Most merchants are up and running within 10-15 minutes. Install the app, configure your schedule, and enable the widget in the theme editor. If you need a hand, the support team is happy to help with setup at no extra cost. ### Features **What delivery methods does Buunto support?** Buunto supports local delivery, store pickup, and shipping. You can configure each method independently with its own schedule, time slots, cut-off times, and preparation times. **Can customers choose a time slot?** Yes. You can define time slots for each delivery method and day of the week. Customers see the available slots when choosing their preferred date and time at checkout. **Can I limit orders per day or per time slot?** Yes. Order limits are available on the Advanced and Unlimited plans. You can set a maximum number of orders per day and per individual time slot to manage capacity and avoid over-booking. **Can I set different schedules for different delivery methods?** Yes. Each delivery method (local delivery, store pickup, and shipping) can have its own schedule, time slots, cut-off times, holidays, and blocked days. **Does Buunto support multiple pickup locations?** Yes. On the Starter and Advanced plans, pickup locations are synced from your Shopify settings. With Buunto Locations on the Unlimited plan, you can go beyond your Shopify plan's location limit and add as many custom pickup locations as you need, each with its own schedule, time slots, and availability. **How does Buunto integrate with the checkout page?** Buunto uses a Delivery Customization Function to synchronize the customer's selection with the shipping rate options at checkout. The shipping option is automatically renamed to show the selected date and time. **What happens if a date or time slot becomes unavailable during checkout?** Buunto uses a Checkout Validation Function to verify that the customer's selection is still valid when they complete their purchase. If a date or time slot is no longer available, the customer will be asked to choose a new slot before completing their order. ### Design and customization **Can I customize the look of the widget?** Yes. Buunto automatically matches your store's typography, and you can set colours using built-in colour pickers. You can choose between a calendar or dropdown layout, and fine-tune the appearance further with custom CSS. **Where can the widget be placed on my store?** The widget can be placed on the product page, the cart page, or in the drawer cart. You can use automatic placement via the theme editor or position it manually with Shopify's theme app extension blocks. **Does it work on mobile?** Yes. The widget is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. It adapts to any screen size and works smoothly on phones and tablets. **Is the date picker accessible?** Yes. The date picker is fully usable via screen readers and keyboard navigation, and follows the European Accessibility Act (EAA) recommendations to ensure an inclusive experience for all customers. ### Pricing and plans **What happens if I exceed the number of orders included in my plan?** You will get plenty of notice if you get close to the number of orders in your plan. If you exceed the threshold, the widget will be paused on your store until you upgrade your plan. **Is there a free plan?** Yes. Every store gets 10 free tagged orders per month at no cost, no credit card required. This is perfect for testing the app or for very low-volume stores. When you're ready to grow, plans start at $12.99/month. **Do development stores need to pay?** No. If you are working on a development store for a client, the app is free for as long as you need. Just upgrade when the store goes live. ### Integrations **Does Buunto work with route planning apps?** Yes. Buunto integrates with EasyRoutes by Roundtrip for route optimization. **Does Buunto work with subscription apps?** Yes. Buunto integrates with Appstle Subscriptions and Seal Subscriptions. The customer's first order date is used as a reference; for each recurring order, Buunto automatically selects a valid date that respects your schedule, including holidays, order limits, and availability. **Can I export orders to Google Calendar?** Yes. Buunto can automatically export scheduled orders to Google Calendar, making it easy to see your fulfillment schedule alongside your other events. **Is there a developer API?** Yes. Buunto offers three APIs, all available on all plans: the Headless API for building custom date pickers on headless storefronts or mobile apps, the JavaScript API for programmatically controlling the widget and listening to selection events, and the Order Selection API for retrieving the date and time slot chosen for a given order. ### Support **How do I get help?** You can reach the support team 24/7 via the in-app widget or by emailing support@buunto.com. Merchants on the Unlimited plan also get priority support with faster response times. **Can you help set up the widget on my store?** Yes.
