How to Display an Estimated Delivery Date on Shopify

When a customer makes an order on your website there are going to be several questions that they have. One of them is when is their order going to arrive with them. By offering an estimated delivery date to the customer you can actually increase conversions. For instance, a customer might be tight on time, having left a purchase to the last minute. Or the customer might want to know when they need to stay in to receive the order.

This is one of the reasons why Amazon has become such a global success. They not only have an efficient set of processes that cut costs and improve profits, but they forewarn customers about the potential delivery times of items. They have several ways of doing this. First, they give a rough estimation or they tell the customer that if they order within a set period of time, the product can arrive the next day.

While you don’t need to be worried about competing with Amazon on some levels, you might want to look at how they do some aspects of their business. They’re rather transparent with their delivery times. The customer knows when they’re going to get their product and what they need to do to get those products. This can help with customer satisfaction and improve sales on your site too. Happy customers will return and spend more, which is a cheaper way to make sales than having to find new customers.
