Configure the app to calculate accurate date estimates #

We calculate delivery estimates by adding the delivery time to the estimated dispatch date. We also take holidays into account when calculating the date estimates.

Depending on your needs, you have the option to configure different delivery times for specific countries and regions.

For example, you can configure the app to use varying delivery times for US-California and US-Texas based customers.

List of all configurable variables for date estimates:

• Your weekly order processing schedule
• Delivery times
• Deliverable days
• Holidays (optional)
• Shipping carrier working days (optional)
• Offsets (optional)

Enter your weekly order processing schedule #

Go to Date calculation -> Dispatch date -> Your working days and dispatch times.

We use your weekly order processing schedule to calculate the next available dispatch date.

The calculated dispatch date is used as a base for all delivery date estimates.

The shipping countdown in your delivery message shows the time difference between the current date and the next available dispatch date.

Enter your delivery times #

Go to Delivery areas.

As mentioned above, delivery times can be configured granular for specific countries and regions within delivery areas.

A delivery area acts as a configuration group for multiple countries and regions. You can create as many delivery areas as needed.

The app comes pre-configured with a delivery area named Domestic. Adjust the Domestic delivery area to your needs or create new delivery areas.

Don't need granular delivery times for different countries and regions? You can choose to delete the pre-configured Domestic delivery area and only configure the Default/Fallback settings. If you do this, the app will use the same delivery time for all visitors, regardless of their current location.

The Default/Fallback settings are used, if your current location cannot be matched to a delivery area.

Do you have products with special delivery times? Have a look at product overrides.

Enable the app #

At this point we are ready to enable the app.

Note that we are currently using the default position settings. The delivery message should show up below your add to cart button.

1. Go to App settings
2. Turn on Enable app

Visit your storefront and navigate to one of your product pages to check if the delivery message is showing up.

If you need to adjust the spacing between your delivery message and nearby page elements, change the px value of padding-top or padding-bottom within the Custom CSS input field.

#deliverymessage { 
    padding-top: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
}
