A user wants to modify the “Standard” shipping rate label displayed at checkout to read “Delivered by:” while keeping the automatic date estimates visible. Currently, the checkout shows “Standard” with dates, but it’s unclear whether these dates represent ship-by or delivery-by dates.
Proposed Solution:
A respondent suggests creating a custom shipping rate in Shopify’s Settings > Shipping and delivery > Shipping profiles, which allows custom naming. However, this approach has a limitation: custom rates don’t include automatic date estimates—that feature is exclusive to the “Standard” rate.
Alternative Workaround:
Manually updating the rate description to something like “Delivered within 3-4 days” to provide estimated timeframes.
Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved, as the user specifically needs to retain the automatic date estimates, which appears incompatible with custom rate naming in Shopify’s current configuration.
Hi, I’m using the ‘Standard’ shipping rate, and this is what it looks like when people are checking out:
It’s not clear what those dates are - ship by? deliver by? And since I’m using only one rate the word “standard” also doesn’t mean anything.
I would like to change the word “Standard” to “Delivered by:”
How?
Thank you,
Ken
Hi Ken,
When setting up the rate in Shopify’s Settings > Shipping and delivery > Shipping profiles, please select a custom rate. You can name it anything you’d like! However, please note that it likely won’t include the date estimate, as that feature is tied to the “Standard” shipping rate:
As an alternative, you can update the rate description to something like “Delivered within 3-4 days” to give your customers an estimated timeframe.
Hope this helps!
Thank you but I do need to keep the date estimates…
