Hello everyone.
Is there a way (natively or by using a plugin) to show the buyer an estimated delivery/shipping date based on the user’s zip code?
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone.

Thanks in advance!
Hi, we would like to build an app to show the estimated delivery date based zip code.
We want to show the delivery ETA on the product page, cart page, and check out page. But the problem is,
I can only know the visitor’s country from IP address, I can’t get the zip code until the customer enters that in the check out page.
So, I can’t show the delivery ETA on the product page base on the zip code. It’s also not a good way to ask customers to enter zip code on the product page.
BTW, I want to know why you need this app? Do you have a database with ZIP codes and delivery ETA for each zip code?
Does this database contain only the zip codes of one country, or does it include the zip codes of different countries in the world?
Our intention is not to use GeoIP or anything like that, but to display the estimated delivery date in the Shipping step of the Checkout process (after the user has entered the information, including the ZIP Code).
We do have a database with ZIP Codes and delivery ETAs for each Zip Code, and it only applies to the US.
Okay, I see, thank you for the information. We will try to make an application that meets your needs. But it will take about 1 to 2 months to go live.
Hi.
I think something was misinterpreted. I’m not looking to have something like that built.
I only needed to know if Shopify offers this natively or if a plugin exists to accomplish that feature.
OK, I see. To do that, you need to customize the check out page.
But it seems the checkout.liquid asset is available to Shopify Plus merchants only.

And for very strict security reasons the checkout cannot be code modified.

Hello!
Absolutely, there are ways to show buyers an estimated delivery or shipping date based on their zip code. One option is to utilize the Delivery Date and Shipping Rates app for your website, which provides this functionality.
The Delivery Date and Shipping Rates app allows you to set up a shipping rate calculator that takes into account the buyer’s zip code. By configuring the app with your shipping preferences and carrier information, you can provide customers with estimated delivery dates based on their location.
By using the Delivery Date and Shipping Rates app, you can enhance the shopping experience for your customers by providing them with estimated delivery dates tailored to their zip code. This feature helps manage customer expectations and provides transparency regarding shipping times.
I hope this helps!
