Shopify merchants know that local delivery is no longer optional — it’s a must-have. That’s why they use Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery: to compete, scale, and provide an excellent experience to their customers. Zapiet offers multiple options for merchants when it comes to last-mile delivery. One of these options is integration with delivery management software and route optimization tools. Onro is one of the most modern solutions available. In this article, we explore how this integration helps merchants manage their fleet while delivering efficiently to their customers.
In today’s e-commerce world, customers expect speed. Same-day delivery statistics show that 80% of consumers expect retailers to offer same-day delivery. Another study confirms the importance of same-day delivery for Shopify stores, says 51% retailers offer same-day delivery and 65% plan to offer it.
This means that if your store doesn’t provide pickup and delivery options, you could risk losing customers.
But the good news is that what may seem like a threat can actually be an opportunity. Offering same-day delivery can turn one-time buyers into loyal repeat customers and give you an edge over traditional local competitors. It's a chance to scale your Shopify store and stand out in the market.
Same-day delivery is a last-mile delivery model that allows the stores’ customers to receive their items on the same day they purchase. For you as a Shopify merchant, this means:
- You offer local delivery at checkout.
- Your customers are able to schedule the delivery date and time slot.
- You deliver items to the customers by your fleet or local delivery providers.
Same-day delivery enhances your customer experience by providing reliability and transparency. Studies show that consumers value precise and real-time delivery tracking and accurate time windows — sometimes even more than speed — and are willing to pay a premium for services that clearly communicate when their order will arrive.
As a Shopify merchant, you have two primary options when it comes to offering local, same-day, or scheduled delivery. If you are using Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery App, both approaches are available to you:
- Local last-mile delivery providers: to outsource delivery to external courier services.
- Delivery management platforms: to manage and optimize your own in-house fleet.
Each option offers different levels of control, cost structure, and scalability. Here is a simple comparison between these options.
Based on this short comparison, we say:
Go with Local Last-Mile Delivery Providers if:
- There are reliable local delivery services in your area that are integrated with Zapiet.
- You trust those providers to deliver a high-quality customer experience.
- You prefer not to manage drivers and delivery operations.
Go with a Delivery Management Platform (Manage Your Own Fleet) if:
- You already have an in-house fleet of drivers.
- Delivering a unique and branded customer experience is important to your business.
- You want full control over delivery quality, timing, and customer communication.
If you are a Shopify merchant using Zapiet – Pickup + Delivery, you’ve already taken the first step toward offering a flexible checkout experience. You can:
- Add a time picker for in-store pickup, local delivery, and shipping.
- Define delivery zones, rates, and order limits.
- Manage pickup, delivery, and shipping orders from a single dashboard.
- Sync with POS to manage in-store pickup and delivery orders.
- Use dozens of last mile delivery options integrated with Zapiet.
But what happens after the order is placed when you have your own fleet?
That’s where Onro comes in. A delivery and courier management software for merchants who operate their own fleet and want full control over their last-mile operations. Zapiet and Onro are integrated to enable Shopify merchants to provide end-to-end same-day delivery — from checkout selection to final proof of delivery.
- Every local delivery order created at checkout is automatically sent to Onro.
- Your fleet receives the delivery task instantly.
- Drivers are assigned manually or automatically.
- Your customers receive tracking links and ETAs.
- Proof of Delivery (POD) and Cash on Delivery (COD) are managed digitally.
- Order status updates sync back to your Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery dashboard.
Imagine you run a flower shop. You already have 3–5 drivers. You offer scheduled delivery through Zapiet.
Before using a delivery management platform, your team:
- Assigns deliveries to drivers manually via WhatsApp or phone calls.
- Doesn’t optimise routes before assigning.
- Tracks delivery status through driver updates.
After integrating Onro:
- Orders flow automatically from Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery to your Onro delivery dashboard.
- Your drivers get tasks through a driver app.
- Routes are optimized.
- Your customers receive automated tracking and delivery updates.
- You collect digital proof of delivery.
In short, with Zapiet you handle the checkout experience, with Onro you handle the delivery execution, and with this combination you have a “checkout to doorstep” solution for your local delivery.
Delivery and pickup are no longer just a “nice-to-have” feature for stores — it has become part of the standard customer expectation.
With the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery app, you create a professional checkout experience. Your customers can choose pickup or delivery, select time slots, write delivery instructions, and clearly understand pricing and availability.
When you use the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery app, you have two main options to offer same-day, next-day, or scheduled delivery to your customers. If you want to use last-mile delivery providers and their courier networks, there are multiple options already integrated with Zapiet that you can select. If you are going to operate your fleet, there are also multiple delivery management systems integrated with Zapiet that you can use.
When you combine Zapiet’s checkout power with Onro’s delivery management system, you turn local delivery into a scalable, branded, and reliable growth channel.
Do I need my own fleet to offer local delivery?
No. You can either use local last-mile delivery providers or manage your own fleet. If you operate your own drivers, integrating a courier software like Onro helps automate dispatch, routing, and tracking.
How does Zapiet help with local delivery?
Zapiet – Pickup + Delivery enables merchants to add delivery date selection, time slots, delivery zones, rates, and order limits at checkout. It also integrates with third-party delivery services and delivery management platforms.
In which countries can I use the Zapiet × Onro integration?
Since both Zapiet (in 150 countries) and Onro are available globally, merchants in the USA, UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, and other regions can connect their checkout delivery options with their own fleet.
Do I need technical knowledge to set up the integration?
No advanced technical knowledge is required. We’ve already written an article about how to use this Onro integration.
