# Improve Deliveries with Calla Mandatory Date Selection Option

As a Shopify merchant, ensuring your customers receive their orders on time is crucial. The **Calla - Delivery & Pickup Date** app helps by making it mandatory for customers to select a delivery date at checkout. Here’s how this feature can benefit your store.

### Key Benefits

1. **Avoid Missed Deliveries**: Customers **must** choose a delivery date, ensuring they’re available to receive their orders.
2. **Streamline Operations**: Knowing exact delivery dates helps you better manage your logistics and inventory.

### ⚙ How It Works

1. **Enable the Feature**: In the Calla app settings, turn on the "Mandatory Date Selection Option."
2. **Customer Prompt**: Customers will select a delivery date during checkout.
3. **Ensure Availability**: This ensures that deliveries are made when customers can receive them.


### Real-Life Example

Imagine you own "LiveFishDirect," a store specializing in live fish. Before using Calla, customers sometimes forgot to choose a delivery date. This led to fish being shipped when they weren't home, causing the fish to die due to delays. With the mandatory date selection, customers now choose dates they’re available, ensuring the fish arrive safely and on time.

### ⚙ Quick Setup

1. **Access the App**: Open Calla in Shopify.
