Make being local an advantage
You have the stock. Give customers a reason to buy it today.
A nearby customer should not have to choose between ordering from your shop and getting what they need in time. Same-day delivery gives them another way to say yes.
Keep your team on the shop floor
Packing an order should not mean closing the counter or sending a colleague out in their own car. Book the delivery and keep serving customers.
Keep customers in the picture
Share the tracking link instead of piecing together updates by phone. A recorded handover gives your team a clearer answer when a delivery question comes in.
What the price pays for
One driver, one order, proof at the door.
A dedicated driver
Your order is the driver's only job on that run. No sorting hubs, no batching with other shops' parcels unless you book a multi-stop run.
Photo proof at the door
A photo, a signature or a handover code, stored against the delivery and shown to your customer.
Funds held until proof
You pay from a prepaid wallet. The money settles only after the handover is recorded; failed jobs go to review.
A tracking link for your customer
Live position and ETA they can open from any phone, no app to install.
An example from the shop floor
The gift is ready. The customer is not nearby.
Imagine a customer finding the right gift on your website during their lunch break. They need it this evening, but cannot get to the shop. Here is how a same-day option can help.
- 01
A local order becomes possible
The customer chooses your same-day option where supported, or your team arranges delivery from the console after confirming the order.
- 02
Your team prepares the handover
Pack the item, add collection instructions and book when it will be ready. Once a driver accepts, use the delivery estimate to plan the pickup.
- 03
The gift makes its way to the customer
The customer follows the tracking link. Your team can review the delivery status and handover record instead of chasing an update.
The opportunity is simple: sell what is already on your shelf to someone who needs it today.
Built around real retail moments
What would your customers love to receive today?
Flowers & thoughtful gifts
A birthday remembered at lunch. A thank-you that deserves more than a message. Arrange a local handover while the occasion still matters.
Fashion & accessories
An outfit for this evening or the finishing touch to a weekend plan. Make nearby inventory useful to customers who cannot visit in person.
Home, beauty & everyday essentials
Get a carefully packed order from the counter to a local doorstep. Confirm dimensions, weight and suitability before booking.
Electronics & replacement parts
A charger, cable or compatible spare can make a difference today. Include accurate item details and clear recipient instructions.
Make the offer work for your shop
A delivery promise you can plan around.
Start with a manageable area and the hours your team can reliably pack orders. Review the controls available for your particular integration before putting an offer in front of customers.
Get a delivery estimate →Where you deliver
Check coverage from your pickup location and choose a sensible local radius where your store integration supports it.
When orders are ready
Allow packing time and set a cutoff where supported. Same-day should fit your opening hours and handover routine.
What the customer pays
Choose a supported live, flat or free-delivery offer. If you subsidize the customer fee, the underlying delivery still has a cost.
What can be carried
Provide package size, weight and handling information. Check restricted goods and match the delivery to the items you actually sell.
Your shop, connected
Start with the tools you already use.
Explore the setup, order flow and availability for your platform. Store connections have different capabilities; a planned connector is not a live checkout integration.

Questions before your first delivery
Can a small shop use RentADriver without an integration?
Yes. Your team can enter the pickup, recipient and package details in the console, review the quote and book. This also works for orders taken by phone or at the counter.
Can I offer same-day delivery at checkout?
Supported store integrations can connect your orders to delivery, but the rate and booking options vary. Check your platform page for beta availability, setup requirements and whether live or flat checkout rates are supported.
Is same-day delivery guaranteed for every order?
No. Coverage, opening hours, package suitability and driver availability affect what can be offered. An initial quote is an estimate; pickup timing is updated after a driver accepts. Confirm availability before promising a specific time.
How much does a delivery cost?
The quote uses your route, package details and selected service. Enter actual weight and dimensions for a more accurate estimate. The amount you charge your customer can differ from the delivery cost where your integration supports a pricing rule.
What happens after I book?
The delivery enters dispatch. Once a driver accepts, you can follow its progress and share the tracking link with your customer. The delivery record includes the available handover proof.
Can I try the workflow before taking live orders?
The store console supports sandbox testing with simulated deliveries. Check the setup guide for your platform, then confirm coverage and your live settings before enabling delivery for customers.
