Date range settings

Set dispatch and delivery day ranges, working days, holidays, and date formats.

The Date range setting section on the Settings tab is where the delivery window actually comes from. Everything a shopper sees as a date is calculated from these fields.

Dispatch and delivery are configured separately, each with its own working days.

Two stages, configured separately

The window is built in two steps, and each has its own settings.

Order dispatched days range

How long it takes you to get the order out of the door.

Field	Meaning	Default
Min days	Fastest you'd dispatch	1
Max days	Slowest you'd dispatch	3
Days	The weekdays you dispatch on	Monday–Friday

These feed the {dispatched_min_date} and {dispatched_max_date} variables.

Order delivered days range

How long the carrier takes after dispatch.

Field	Meaning	Default
Min days	Fastest delivery	3
Max days	Slowest delivery	5
Days	The weekdays deliveries arrive on	Every day

These feed {delivered_min_date} and {delivered_max_date}.

The two ranges stack. With the defaults, the earliest delivery is 1 + 3 = 4 working days out and the latest is 3 + 5 = 8 — before weekends and holidays are skipped, which usually pushes both later.

Working days matter more than you'd think

The Days checkboxes aren't decoration — days you don't tick are skipped entirely when counting.

Leave dispatch on Monday–Friday and an order placed on Saturday starts counting from Monday. Untick Sunday for delivery and a window that would have landed on Sunday moves to Monday instead.

Set these to match reality:

• Dispatch days — the days someone is actually in your warehouse packing orders.

• Delivery days — the days your carrier actually delivers in your main market.

Holidays

The Holiday field takes a list of dates to exclude from the calculation entirely, described in the app as "These dates will be excluded from the estimation."

Add your public holidays and any days you're closed. A store that adds its December closure in November stops promising deliveries that can't happen.

Holidays are a plain list of dates, so they don't repeat automatically. Add next year's when you add next year's calendar.

Date & time settings

Two formatting controls decide how the calculated values are written out.

Date format

Two dozen formats, from short to fully spelled out:

MM/DD/YY · MM/DD/YYYY · DD/MM/YY · DD/MM/YYYY · YY/MM/DD · DD.MM.YY · YY.MM.DD · YYYY-MM-DD · DD MMM, YYYY · DD MMMM, YYYY · MMMM DD · MMM DD · DD MMMM · dddd · dd · and several long forms such as dddd, MMMM DD, YYYY

The default is MMM DD — "Mar 14".

Numeric formats are ambiguous across countries: 03/04 is 3 April to a British shopper and 4 March to an American one. If you sell internationally, a format with a month name removes the guesswork.

Time format

How the {cutoff_time} countdown is written:

Hrs, Mins, Secs · Hrs, Mins · Hours, minutes, seconds · Hours, minutes · hours, minutes, seconds · H, M, S

Short forms suit a compact product page; long forms suit a wide banner.

Checking your setup

The builder preview updates as you change these fields, so you can see the effect immediately. Two things are worth checking deliberately:

1. Set a dispatch day range with a weekend in the middle and confirm the dates skip it.

2. Add today as a holiday temporarily and confirm the window moves. Remove it afterwards.
