Manage scheduled orders with tags & packing slips
Manage scheduled orders with tags & packing slips
Automatically tag each order with its date, time, and method, and print packing slips that include the schedule — so your whole workflow knows when each order is due.
Overview
After an order is placed with a date, DingDoong can attach order tags (scheduled date, time, and fulfillment name) so you can find and sort scheduled orders right in Shopify. You can also print packing slips with the selected date and time.
Before you start
- Customers are placing orders with a date.
- You can access General settings → Order tags and your Shopify Orders.
Configure automatic order tags
How to set it up
Go to General settings → Order tags and turn it on. Choose which tag types to add per method (shipping/delivery/pickup name, date, time, day).
Tags then appear on the Shopify order, e.g., the scheduled date/time and method name.
Print packing slips with date & time
When you add date and time to the packing slip, the selected schedule is added to the Shopify order Notes, which print on the slip.
How to set it up
From Shopify Orders, choose Print → Print packing slips. The selected date and time appear on the slip.
Common scenarios
Sort orders by delivery day in Shopify
Use the date tag to filter/sort scheduled orders directly in the Shopify admin.
Hand prep teams a dated slip
Print packing slips with the date/time so the kitchen/warehouse sees when each order is due.
Keep Shopify clean
Turn off tags if you'd rather manage everything from the Order report.
