Setting up transit time for your flat shipping rates
You can add transit time to your flat shipping rates to display transit time to your customers at checkout. Transit time is the time frame from when your shipping carrier collects the shipment from you, to when the shipment arrives at your customer's address.
Transit time can help your customers to understand the value of selecting faster and more expensive shipping options and help you make sales with customers who want their products quickly.

Considerations for setting up transit time
Before you add transit time to your shipping rates, review the following considerations:
- Transit time is available to fulfillment locations in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
- Transit time works only with stores that use the latest version of shipping settings.
- Transit time doesn't account for order processing time. For more information about processing time, refer to Understanding and reducing processing time.
- Transit time for combined shipping rates is displayed at checkout only when shipping rates from different profiles have transit time. The slowest transit time is displayed.
- You can configure transit time only for flat shipping rates. Transit time is automatically included in carrier-calculated shipping rates.
- Your shipping zones can't have a mix of domestic and international countries. For example, if your store is located in the United States and you also ship to France, then you need to set up one shipping zone for the United States and another for France. You can't have both countries in one zone.
- Mỗi khu vực vận chuyển chỉ được chứa một quốc gia và các khu vực của quốc gia đó. Ví dụ: khu vực cho Pháp chỉ nên bao gồm Pháp và các tỉnh của Pháp chứ không phải nhiều quốc gia.
- Set up your apps and locations before you set up transit time. Apps that manage fulfillment, such as Printful, are automatically added as a location to your shipping profile and can deactivate transit time for your existing shipping rates.
Understanding transit time and delivery descriptions
Transit time is a predefined option that displays calculated delivery dates to customers at checkout. You can only select from the available transit time options, such as Standard, Express, or Economy, when setting up flat shipping rates.
Delivery descriptions are custom text that you can add to any flat shipping rate to provide additional information to customers.
If you need to provide specific delivery information to customers, then you can add a custom delivery description to your flat shipping rate, but this won't display calculated delivery dates in the way that transit time does.
Add transit time to your shipping rate
When you add transit time to a shipping rate, the transit time is displayed underneath the shipping rate name that customers can choose at checkout. For example, an Express (1 to 2 business days) shipping option can be displayed to your customers at checkout.
