How to set up next-day and named-day delivery
To offer next-day delivery on Shopify, choose a courier with next-day services, set a clear order cut-off time, add a next-day rate to your UK shipping zone, and show the cut-off on product pages. For named-day delivery, add a delivery date picker so customers can choose a day.
