How the date gets worked out.
Every product page runs the same four checks, in your shop’s time zone, right in the shopper’s browser.
- Check 1
Find the right rule
ETA Bird checks for a product rule first, then a collection rule, then your store-wide default. At each level, a rule for the shopper’s country wins over an all-countries rule.
- Check 2
Start from today, or tomorrow
If the order is placed before your cutoff on a working day, processing starts today. Otherwise it starts on the next working day.
- Check 3
Count working days
Processing days are added first, then the minimum and maximum delivery days. Your days off are skipped.
- Check 4
Write it out
The dates go into your message in the date style you picked. Before the cutoff, the countdown line can show the time left.
An example
1 processing day, 2 to 4 delivery days, weekends off, cutoff at 2pm. A shopper orders on Wednesday at 11am: processing starts that day and the order ships Thursday. Delivery lands between Monday and Wednesday, because Saturday and Sunday are skipped.
