LionWheel + Bloom: Delivery Date & Pickups
Florists, bakeries and food shops use Bloom to let customers choose a delivery date and time slot. LionWheel reads both from the Shopify order and plans each delivery on the right day’s route, inside its slot.

Delivery date
The day your customer chose, from Bloom’s
Delivery Date. Each delivery is planned for that day, not the day it was ordered.Time slot
Bloom’s
Delivery Time, such as 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, becomes the stop’s time window, and route optimization keeps the driver inside it.The whole order
Address, recipient, phone and the order’s items come with it, ready for packing and the driver.
How it works
Your customer picks a day
At checkout, Bloom shows your delivery days and time slots and saves the choice on the Shopify order.
LionWheel creates the delivery
When the order is placed, LionWheel turns it into a delivery with the address, recipient, items, date and time window.
It goes on the right route
Plan the day in LionWheel: each Bloom order is on its chosen day, inside its slot. Drivers get their route in the LionWheel driver app.
Set up Bloom with LionWheel
Keep Bloom as it is. LionWheel reads the orders it already creates.
- Install LionWheel from the Shopify App Store on the store that runs Bloom.
- Auto Deliveries Creation is on by default in LionWheel’s Shopify settings, so every new order becomes a delivery as soon as it’s placed.
- Place a test order with a Bloom delivery date and slot, and check its date and time window in LionWheel.
- Optional: in LionWheel’s Shopify settings, set Update Fulfillment on Shopify to Delivery Completed, so the order is marked fulfilled in Shopify when the driver completes the delivery.
Pickup orders: Bloom records pickups in its own delivery method field, which LionWheel doesn’t read on its own. If you take pickups through Bloom, contact us and we’ll set your store up so they’re marked as pickups.
Questions about Bloom and LionWheel
Do I need to connect Bloom to LionWheel?
No. Bloom saves the date and slot on the Shopify order and LionWheel reads the order. Install both apps on the same store.
Can I print gift messages for flower deliveries?
Yes. When the order carries a gift message in a field named “Message”, LionWheel saves it as the delivery’s greeting, and you can print it on the label or on a greeting card. See LionWheel + gift message apps.
What if an order comes in without a delivery date?
LionWheel dates it the day it comes in. You can change the date on the delivery in LionWheel, or plan it with the next day’s routes.
Does LionWheel update the order in Shopify?
It can. Choose when LionWheel marks the Shopify order as fulfilled, for example when the driver completes the delivery. You can also have LionWheel cancel the delivery when the order is cancelled in Shopify.
