What's New Since Publication: Updated since publication · 1 change
- Shopify added Canada and New Zealand to automated delivery datesShopify's automated delivery dates page now lists 35 countries: the United States, Canada, New Zealand and 32 in Europe; on September 25, 2026 it listed 33. Orders between different regions, or between Canada and New Zealand, show no date, and the prediction limit is 5 days in the United States, Canada or New Zealand and 4 days in Europe. The overview page no longer asks for a US fulfillment location, only one in an eligible country.
Where do you turn on estimated delivery dates?
In your Shopify admin, open Settings > Shipping and delivery > Estimated delivery dates and pick Off, Manual or Automated.
- Settings
- Shipping and delivery
- Estimated delivery dates
Manual works on all plans: set a fulfillment time and use shipping rates with transit time. Flat rates carry dates from 8 origin countries: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Australia.
Automated needs the Basic, Grow, Advanced or Plus plan; its store requirements include at least one fulfilled domestic order and a fulfillment location in one of 35 eligible countries: the United States, Canada, New Zealand and 32 in Europe.
Each order must predict delivery within 4 days in Europe or 5 days in the United States, Canada or New Zealand, and orders between different regions, or between Canada and New Zealand, show no date.
Do the dates show on the product page?
Shopify's overview lists checkout, accelerated checkouts such as Shop Pay, order confirmation emails, and the Thank You and Order Details pages. The automated, manual and overview pages we read on October 17, 2026 don't mention the product page, or ask for a theme edit or app block. If a customized confirmation email leaves the dates out, here is why and how to add them back.
Shop Promise pages mention product pages, including the activation page, below. Turn the setting on, then check your own product page.
Do you need Shop Promise for automated dates?
No. Shopify's automated dates page says Shop Promise's badge and requirements, including offering Shop Pay and adding tracking to at least 90% of eligible orders, don't apply to automated dates. You can run both at the same time, and the dates outlast the badge:
If Shop Promise is paused or turned off, then automated delivery dates are still displayed wherever they're turned on.
The activation page, under Deactivate Shop Promise, now agrees: turning Shop Promise off removes the badge but doesn't change your automated delivery dates, which you turn off separately in your shipping and delivery settings.
Losing eligibility works the same way: the eligibility page says that if Shop Promise is paused or turned off, you can still display estimated delivery dates with automated delivery dates, without the badge. After you switch Shop Promise off, check your own checkout for dates.
