How to display an estimated dispatch date on order confirmation emails?

[solunacreations]

Hi all,

I would like to display a date for my customers in their order confirmation email. Our products take 5 working days to process before they are dispatched for delivery.

At the moment I have the following:

Hi {{ billing_address.name }},

This email is to confirm your order on {{ date | date: “%d %b %Y” }}. Your order number is {{ order_number }}.

Your estimated dispatch date is ----------------------

The dashes is where I would like to enter code to state the date as 5 working days from the date they placed their order. Can this be done?

Thank you.

Hi solunacreations,

I don’t think it is possible to enter a script into your email template to calculate 5 days out from order time.

Have you considered using a third-party Shopify app like Supertime to capture a customer’s preferred date and time? You can create custom schedules so they can’t book a time within 5 days of their order, and there are custom attributes you can add to your confirmation emails. Here’s a help article on how to do that.

Hi @solunacreations ,

It will have 3 cases for working days:

• Case 1: All days of the week except Saturday and Sunday. If so you just need to add this code: https://pastebin.com/Umk4wU06

• Case 2: All days of the week except Sunday. If so you just need to add this code: https://pastebin.com/tQP72Jxn

• Case 3: All days of the week. If so you just need to add this code: https://pastebin.com/kVb427kD

Hope it clear to you.
