Selected Shipping Date

What it does

Adds a Shipping date field after the list of shipping options. Customers choose a date from today through a configured number of days ahead. The extension records their selection; this guide does not claim that the field independently schedules fulfillment or guarantees delivery.

Before you begin

Install Awtomic Subscriptions and use an eligible checkout. Merchant stores need Shopify Plus for this checkout placement. For review, confirm the development store supports checkout extensions.

Use a physical product and a shipping address that produces shipping options so the extension’s target is present. A digital-only checkout is not an appropriate demonstration of this placement.

Set up the extension

1. In Shopify admin, open Settings → Checkout and edit the configuration used by the storefront.
2. In the Apps sidebar, add Awtomic’s Selected Shipping Date to checkout. Its placement is after the shipping-option list.
3. Set Maximum days ahead to the desired whole number. If unset, the extension uses 30 days.
4. If selecting a valid date should be required, allow the extension to block checkout in its behavior controls.
5. Save and confirm the storefront uses this configuration.

No separate Awtomic enable flag is checked by this extension’s current rendering code. Do not confuse this field with the separate Estimated ship date settings in Awtomic.

What the reviewer should see

A Shipping date heading, a message describing the maximum number of days ahead, and a date field below shipping options. With blocking disabled, the field is labelled Shipping date (optional).

Suggested test

1. Add a physical product and enter an address with an available shipping rate.
2. Confirm the date field appears after shipping options.
3. Choose tomorrow, within the configured window.
4. Try a past date or a date beyond the allowed window: an error should appear.
5. With blocking enabled, try to continue with an empty or invalid date: progress should be blocked. With blocking disabled, the extension does not enforce completion.
6. Restore a valid date and complete an authorized test order. Confirm the selected date is recorded; the checkout attribute is selected_shipping_date.
7. Record the editor configuration and storefront field in the screencast.

If the field is missing

• Confirm the block is saved in the checkout configuration actually used by the storefront.
• Confirm shipping options exist for the cart and address.
• Look below shipping options, rather than in the contact section.
• Check checkout eligibility and whether the deployed extension version is current.
• Validate standard checkout first; check Shopify’s behavior controls separately for accelerated checkout.
