Show a Shopify estimated delivery date on your product pages
QuickEye adds a Shopify estimated delivery date to your product pages. As a result, shoppers see when an order should arrive before they buy. QuickEye calls this feature EDD (estimated delivery date), and it is part of the same app as order tracking.
- Date on the product page
- Growth and Enterprise plans
- 7-day trial
EDD comes with the Growth plan at $19 a month and the Enterprise plan at $49 a month.
What Shopify shows on its own
Shopify has its own way to show an estimated delivery date. With it, you can display delivery dates at checkout, so customers know when to expect their orders.
There are two kinds. First, Shopify works out automated delivery dates from your shipping performance. Second, manual delivery dates use the fulfillment time and transit time that you set.
Fulfillment time is the gap between a customer placing an order and you handing the shipment to a carrier.
Both kinds appear at checkout. QuickEye shows a date one step earlier, on the product page.
The estimated delivery date on the product page
Checkout comes late in a visit. Therefore, QuickEye puts the date on the page where shoppers decide.
At checkout, with Shopify
Shopify’s delivery dates appear once a shopper reaches checkout. By then, they have already chosen a product and added it to the cart.
On the product page, with QuickEye
QuickEye’s EDD shows the date on the product page. So shoppers know when the order should arrive while they are still deciding.
Think of someone buying a gift, for example. They need the parcel before a birthday, so the arrival date decides the purchase. With an estimated delivery date for Shopify product pages, that shopper gets the answer before adding anything to the cart.
The same goes for anyone ordering for a trip or an event. In short, the delivery question comes up before the order, and the product page is where QuickEye answers it.
Which QuickEye plans include the Shopify estimated delivery date
Two QuickEye plans include the Shopify estimated delivery date feature: Growth and Enterprise. Prices are in USD, and both plans start with a 7-day trial.
| Plan | Price per month | Included | Extra usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth | $19 | 500 orders a month and 1,000 delivery estimates, all Boost features, EDD, dashboard, prioritized support | $0.06 per additional shipment, plus $1 per 1,500 delivery estimates |
| Enterprise | $49 | 1,500 orders a month and 1,500 delivery estimates, all Boost features, EDD, advanced analytics, personalized support | $0.05 per additional shipment, plus $1 per 1,500 delivery estimates |
Each plan comes with a set number of delivery estimates. If you need more, extra delivery estimates cost $1 per 1,500 on both plans.
The Free Forever and Boost plans do not include EDD. However, both include order tracking, so you can start there and move up later.
After the order: tracking on your own page
The delivery date answers a question before the sale. After the sale, customers want to follow the parcel.
Shopify covers the basics here too. Once you add a tracking number to a fulfilled order, customers can follow the delivery through the order status page, shipping emails and the Shop app.
QuickEye is also a Shopify order tracking app. It gives customers a branded tracking page that covers the carriers you ship with. Because tracking and EDD are parts of the same app, you install once.
Delivery questions that still reach your inbox take agent time. For that reason, our post on returns explains the cost of support tickets.
