UPS (or USPS) Price Quotes with Estimated Delivery Date

Ask Me Anything Q&A Estimated Delivery Dates AMA

Topic summary

Displaying Shopify estimated delivery dates (EDD) alongside UPS/USPS price quotes at checkout and on product pages.

  • Checkout: When EDD is enabled, delivery date expectations appear under each shipping method for carrier-calculated rates (e.g., UPS, USPS).
  • Product pages: If the Automated EDD option is enabled, customers see delivery expectations on product pages in the Shop app.
  • Online store product pages: Showing EDD directly on online store product pages is not currently supported; the use case has been noted for consideration.

Implications:

  • You can show carrier rate quotes and corresponding EDDs at checkout.
  • EDD on product pages is limited to the Shop app with Automated EDD; not available on standard online store product pages today.
  • The scenario of showing Shopify EDD only on product pages and carrier EDD at checkout is partially supported (Shop app product pages + checkout), with online store product pages pending.

Status: Clarification provided; feature request acknowledged. Discussion appears resolved without new changes.

Hi,

How can I show Shopify’s EDD during checkout, while showing shipping price quotes from UPS or USPS?

Also, can I show Shopify’s EDD on product pages, or only during checkout?

Last, can I show Shopify’s EDD only on product pages (assuming it’s supported) and on checkout show the EDD from UPS or USPS?

Thank you

Thank you for your question, I’m happy to clarify how this works.

When estimated delivery dates are enabled, your customers will see delivery date expectations under each shipping method at checkout for carrier-calculated rates, such as UPS or USPS.

If you’ve enabled the Automated option in estimated delivery dates, customers will also see delivery expectations on product pages in the Shop app. We’ve noted your use case for showing these dates on online store product pages as well.
