Wording, date formats and translations
Updated 23 July 2026
Every line of text the shopper sees on the picker is editable, per surface, per language.
Change the wording
Open Date selector → Storefront copy. Editable fields include:
| Field | Default |
|---|---|
| Date selector label | "Select a delivery date" (cart) / "Choose your estimated delivery date" (product) |
| Date input placeholder | "Select a date" |
| Fulfilment heading | "Delivery" (switches to "Shipping" automatically if you only use ship dates) |
| Ship / pickup toggle labels | "Ship" / "Store pickup" |
| Time slot label | "Select a time slot" |
| Country label | "Select your country" |
| Postcode label | "Enter your postcode" |
| Signature confirmation text | "I acknowledge that a signature will be required upon delivery" |
| Cart line item label | "Estimated Delivery" |
Emojis and special characters are fine.
Date display format
Choose how the selected date reads from the Date format dropdown — 28 presets covering UK style ("26 May 2026"), US style ("Tuesday May 26"), numeric, and ISO formats. This only changes what the shopper sees in the field; the formats written to order tags and attributes are configured separately in order tags and attributes.
Translations
If your store publishes multiple languages:
- Open the copy settings for the surface you use (cart/product).
- Expand Translations (optional).
- Add a translation set per published storefront language.
How it resolves: exact locale first (fr-CA), then language (fr), then your default copy. The calendar itself (month and day names) ships with 20 language packs — French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Lithuanian and more — and follows the shopper's storefront language automatically.
Note: translations aren't included in settings export/import — re-add them after importing settings into another store.
Checkout picker copy
The checkout block title (default "Select Delivery Date") is set on the block in Shopify's checkout editor. The main "no delivery available" error messages are customisable — see checkout validation.
