How can I add a 2-4 day processing time to my handmade jewelry listings?

[KateLane]

Hello,

I would like to add a 2-4 day processing time to my listings. I sell handmade jewelry made to order and I need time to make the products. How can I do this? TIA

[KateLane]

Anyone?

Shopify does not provide options to add processing time for products. The only option is to rename the service displayed at checkout.

If you are using an app like PH Ship, Rate & Track, it has a buffer days adjustment option in the estimated time of arrival (ETA).

What do you mean by the service displayed at checkout?

Hi KateLane - Make to order is a very valid use case for jewelry industry. We at ShipperHQ are working with similar brands like yours to streamline the shipping operations and improve customer experience.

We solve this by adding an extra lead time to the product (through our shipping groups). Hence when the item is in cart customer is shown a delivery date estimate that also adds the lead time which in your case can be 2 to 4 days. If you'd like to experience our app for yourself you can find us here. You can also take a free trial for 15 days.

Let me know if you need further support.
