The honest take
Which one is right for you?
Both handle pickup, local delivery and shipping. Here's how we'd help you decide.
Choose Kite if
- You want delivery rates before you pay anything.
- You take up to 30 orders a month and want to stay free.
- You run more than one shop, or plan to.
- You're a florist, grocer or butcher and scheduling is a daily job.
Stay with Pickeasy if
- You need Shopify POS in the same app.
- Your team has built workflows around it.
- Your setup works and you'd rather not touch it.
Migration
Switching from Pickeasy takes an afternoon, not a rebuild.
It's configuration work, and we won't pretend otherwise. Here's the order to do it in.
Install Kite alongside Pickeasy
Put Kite on the free plan while Pickeasy is still running. Both read your locations and products from Shopify, so there is nothing to export.
Rebuild your rules
Zip rules, blackout dates, prep times and cut-offs get entered again. There's no importer between the two apps. For one location, that's an afternoon.
Switch the date picker
Turn off Pickeasy's picker, then turn on the "Date Time Picker" app embed in your theme editor. Don't leave two date pickers live at once; they will fight over the same cart.
Test, then uninstall Pickeasy
Place a test order across pickup, delivery and shipping, including your delivery rates. Once it looks right, uninstall Pickeasy. Kite installs as a theme app block, so no template code is left to clean up.
Or let us do it
Book a migration call and we map your Pickeasy setup with you, location by location.
