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.
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 33 eligible countries, the United States and 32 in Europe. Shopify's overview page differs: it lists an active US fulfillment location and a US domestic order.
Each order must predict delivery within 5 days in the US or 4 days in Europe, and orders between the United States and Europe 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 September 25, 2026 don't mention the product page, or ask for a theme edit or app block.
Shop Promise pages mention product pages, including the eligibility 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 the Shop Promise guarantee, delivery standards and Shop Pay requirement don't apply to automated dates. You can run both at the same time:
If both features are activated, then Shop Promise badges are displayed for eligible orders. If an order is ineligible, or if Shop Promise is paused or deactivated, then automated delivery dates are displayed.
The activation page, under Deactivate Shop Promise, says that if you turn off Shop Promise, the badge and automated delivery dates are no longer displayed.
Losing eligibility differs: the eligibility page says dates can still show on product pages and at checkout, without the badge, where predictable. After you switch Shop Promise off, check your own checkout for dates.
