An order cutoff countdown that tells the truth.
Set the time of day you stop shipping same day. Before it, shoppers can see how long they have left. After it, the dates move forward on their own.
What you can set
Daily cutoff time
Pick the hour orders must come in by to start processing today.
Live countdown
Turn on the countdown line, like “Order within 3h 20m to get it between …”. It ticks down on the page while the cutoff is still ahead.
Automatic roll-over
Once the cutoff passes, the estimate starts from the next working day. No one has to change anything.
Days off respected
With weekends off, an order placed after Friday’s cutoff starts processing on Monday.

Questions
Is the countdown required?
No. The cutoff time works on its own. The countdown line only shows when you turn it on.
Which time zone is the cutoff in?
Your shop’s time zone, as set in Shopify.
Is the countdown real?
Yes. It counts down to the cutoff you set, so it never resets to create fake urgency.
