The Estimated Delivery Date setting is ideal for stores that want to display expected delivery timelines, without requiring the customer to choose a specific delivery date during checkout.
Enable Estimated Delivery Date #
Let’s walk through how you can configure your store to show an estimated delivery range instead of a date picker.
- Go to Apps > Flexi Delivery & Pickup Date > Delivery Schedule.
- Click the Edit icon to update your desired delivery schedule.
- Navigate to the Date Settings section and turn on the Enable Delivery Date setting.
- Go to Delivery Checkout Options and choose ‘Estimated Delivery Date’.
- Enter the values in the Delivery Range field. For example, if you set Min Delivery Range 2 and Max Delivery Range as 5, the customer will see a message like: “Estimated delivery in 2–5 days.
- Click Save Settings.
