Show Banner When Inventory Is Not Tracked
You can choose whether to display ETA banner for product/variant not enabled “Track quantity” in Shopify admin. This can be useful for stores that sell made-to-order items, dropshipped products, or other cases where inventory is not explicitly tracked. Simply toggling on this option to enable.
Date Mode of Delivery Estimates in Cart and Checkout
Choose how the ETA widget displays delivery estimates in the cart and checkout process.
Static date | Dynamic date | |
Compatibility | Any theme | Shopify themes |
How it works | This displays a static delivery date when the product is added to the cart and remains unchanged, even if the customer revisits the cart later. | This dynamically updates the delivery estimate based on the current date, ensuring accuracy if the customer revisits their cart. |
Placement | ||
Cart page | ✓ | ✓ |
Cart drawer | ✓ | ✓ |
Cart popup | ✓ | x |
Checkout, Thank you, Order status page | ✓ | x |
✓ | x | |
Orders | ✓ | x |
How to check if a theme is compatible with dynamic date?
Inspect the cart page or drawer in the “Elements” tab. Ensure it includes cart-item
, cart-item__details
, and dl
(written exactly like this) in the correct nesting order from outer to inner elements.
Show Message Text in Email
Since Shopify doesn’t allow third-party apps to modify emails directly, you can manually add the delivery estimates by following these steps.
Note that these instructions usually work for Shopify’s default email template. If you use a different template, it might not work as expected. Please contact us for support.
- Go to Store Settings > Notifications > Choose email template that you want to add message text
- Inspect the line in a product cell (press F12 or right-click > Inspect) below which you want to display delivery estimates. The best practice is below the discount code. Copy the span class, here is:
class="order-list__item-discount-allocation
3/ Click Edit code. Ctrl F and paste the class you have copied to search its location. Then paste this code below {% endif %} and above </td>Copy
{% for p in line.properties %}
{% unless p.last == blank %}
{{ p.first }}: {{ p.last }}
{% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
