Text under a shipping method

What you’ll build: “Order before 2pm for same-day dispatch” shown only under the Express shipping option.

Requirements: Shopify Plus. Content blocks are on the Free plan, as its one customization, and the Buddy plan.

1. Create the text. In Checkout Buddy, open Customizations. On the Content tab, click Create customization and choose Text. Enter your note in the Text part’s Text, and set its Size to Small if you like. Or choose the Note under express shipping template, which comes with steps 1 and 2 done: change its text and the name it looks for.

2. Target the shipping option. Under Who sees it, choose Only checkouts that match the rules and add This shipping method, name is, Express.

   Name is compares the whole option name, ignoring capitals, so enter it as customers see it. To match Express and Express (1-2 days), use name contains.

3. Under Status, turn on Published, save, and note the block’s ID under Status.

4. Place it under the shipping options. In the Checkout Editor, go to the shipping step and add a Content app block in the slot under each shipping method. Enter the block’s ID in its Block IDs, so only this block shows there, then save.

5. Test it. The text appears only under Express. To align it, use the Text part’s Alignment.

How it works

The slot under the shipping methods repeats once for every option. Each copy of the block checks This shipping method against the option it’s sitting under, so the text only appears where the name matches.

Variations

• A different note for each option: create one Text block per option, each with its own This shipping method rule, and enter all the IDs in the app block’s Block IDs, for example 51, 52, 53. Each option shows the ones that match.
• Delivery estimates: under each shipping method, the text can show that method’s estimate: {{ shippingOption.lowerEstimate }} to {{ shippingOption.upperEstimate }} days. For ship-by and arrival dates, use What happens next, which shows each method’s own dates there. See live values.
• Text for the selected option only: use This shipping method, is the one chosen, or place the block below the shipping method list with a Shipping method rule instead.

Note

This shipping method only works in the slot under each shipping option. Anywhere else it never matches. See Content rules.

With an older Text block

A Text block made before the Content block shows in a Checkout Buddy (v1) app block under each shipping method, with its ID in Fixed block ID, and uses the Target shipping method title condition instead. See target conditions.
