Extending delivery methods
Delivery methods are ways that merchants can fulfill orders from their online stores. Methods include shipping to an address, local pickup, and shipping to a pickup point, all of which are natively supported by Shopify checkout. This guide introduces how delivery method extension points work, and provides some resources for getting started.
How it works
Anchor link to section titled "How it works"You can use checkout UI extensions to add extra functionality and content to delivery methods. If multiple delivery methods are available, then customers are shown all options at checkout.
Each delivery method has its own unique content and extension points. These extension points can be aware of the available and selected delivery options. Some use cases for extension points include collecting additional information from customers or to display specific delivery and shipping information depending on the selected rate.
Shipping methods can include the carrier information, expected delivery time, rate names, and costs. Local delivery also displays here. To see the extension points that are placed in shipping methods, refer to supported locations.
