Ship dates for POS orders

Updated 19 August 2026

Are you taking an order in person that ships later, such as a showroom sale or a market stall preorder? Flare's POS tile lets staff attach a ship date at the till.

Set it up

1. In Shopify POS, add the Request Ship Date tile to your smart grid (Shopify POS admin → smart grid customisation → add the Flare tile).
2. That's it. The tile uses your existing Flare configuration.

How staff use it

1. Build the cart in POS as normal.
2. Tap Request Ship Date, pick the date in the modal, and save. "Ship date saved" confirms.
3. Complete the sale. The order arrives with the ship date attached (attribute + line-item note), appears on Order management, and flows through hold & release like any web order.

Good to know

• POS orders don't run the storefront picker or checkout guard. The tile is the deliberate, staff-driven equivalent.
• If you use per-channel order limits, POS can have its own daily capacity separate from the online store.
