Settings

Setting Description
Enable delivery estimate Globally enables or disables frontend output
Show on product pages Controls product-page visibility
Show on cart page Controls cart visibility

Handling days Store processing time in business days
Minimum transit days Earliest transit duration
Maximum transit days Latest transit duration

The cutoff uses 24-hour time. For example, 14 means 2:00 PM.

Delivery calculation

Saturdays and Sundays are skipped.

If an order is placed after the configured cutoff or during a weekend, the calculation begins from the next business day.

Minimum transit time:  2 business days
Maximum transit time:  5 business days
Estimated range:       3–6 business days
