Conditional activation for shipping

Our conditional activation feature allows you to enable or disable shipping depending on:

  • The order value or weight

  • The product type, collection, vendor, or tags

In the widget, conditional activation will look similar to the screenshot below.

Shipping availability

Enable the date picker and set up your shipping days to allow your customers to select a date for shipping before they check out.

You can decide if you would like to use this as a date when you'll ship the items, or when they'll arrive to your customers.

Your customers will now see a calendar in the widget and will need to select one of the available shipping days.

Shipping slots

Shipping slots are the shipping times your customers can choose from after selecting a date. They can be the same for every shipping day, or you can change them based on the day of the week.

The shipping slots you have set up will show in the widget after the date has been selected.


Shipping order limits

Shipping order limits let you restrict the number of delivery orders you can receive per day/slot.

The report will show all the orders made for that time slot on that day and note the number of remaining slots.

Your customers won't be able to select shipping on those dates.
