Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with Shipday, from adding orders and drivers to pricing, integrations, and third-party delivery.

What is Shipday?

Shipday is delivery management software with a mobile app for drivers. You bring all your orders into one dashboard, assign them to drivers by hand or automatically, plan routes, and track every delivery in real time. Customers get SMS updates and a live tracking link. You can use your own drivers, third-party delivery services, or both.

Is Shipday available in my city?

Shipday is available in over 150 countries worldwide, but instant access to third-party delivery services is limited to the US, Canada, and Australia.

How much does Shipday cost?

Plans and prices depend on your country and on whether you’re a merchant or a delivery company. In many countries you can start on a free plan and upgrade as you grow. See plans and prices.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. You can try Shipday free for 14 days. No credit card is required.

How do I get started with Shipday?

Create your account, add your drivers, and bring in your orders, either through an integration with your ordering platform or by entering them by hand.

How can I get orders into Shipday?

You can connect your online store or website to Shipday through our integrations. You can also enter orders manually or use our pre-built web forms.

Which platforms does Shipday integrate with?

Shipday connects with online ordering, POS, and e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Toast, Wix, and Lightspeed, so their orders arrive in Shipday automatically. Developers can also connect other systems through the Shipday API. See all integrations.

Can I connect multiple restaurants or stores to one Shipday account?

Yes. Add your Shipday API key (on the Integrations page of your dashboard) to each ordering platform account, and all their orders come into one Shipday account. Email integration works the same way: give your account’s email address to each online ordering system, and their orders appear on your dashboard automatically.

How do I add drivers?

Add drivers from the Driver tab of your dashboard. Each driver needs their own email address. Drivers then install the free Shipday Driver App from the App Store or Google Play to receive orders.

How do I assign orders to drivers?

Use the Assign button on an order in the Dispatch tab or the Current Orders tab, or click a delivery on the map and assign a driver from there. You can also turn on auto-dispatch so Shipday assigns orders for you.

Can I send orders to DoorDash or Uber?

Yes. If you’re short on drivers or don’t have your own, you can send orders to third-party delivery services like DoorDash and Uber right from Shipday, and see the price before you send. This is a paid service from those providers, available in United States, Canada, Australia, and United Kingdom. Read the third-party delivery FAQ.

Does Shipday plan delivery routes?

Yes. Shipday optimizes routes with multiple stops and sends them straight to the driver app. You can also try our free route planner without creating an account.

Can customers track their deliveries in real time with Shipday?

Yes. Shipday gives customers live delivery tracking, so they can follow their order in real time. That cuts “where is my order?” calls by up to 90%.

Can I track my drivers live on a map?

Absolutely. The mobile app shares real-time GPS updates, so you can monitor each driver’s location and progress throughout the day.

Which languages is Shipday available in?

Shipday is available in 30 languages and is used by businesses in 150+ countries.

Can I register as a driver with Shipday?

No, you can't work for Shipday as a driver like on other gig networks. Our users are local businesses that have their own drivers or use third-party delivery services from Shipday.

What kind of customer support does Shipday offer for restaurant owners?

Shipday’s highly rated support team is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to help with any question or issue.
