Following the release of our Shopify App Embed and Shopify Plus Checkout UI extensions for specifying delivery dates and times on Shopify in Japan, we want to help you communicate these details effectively to your customers. Here’s a basic code snippet you can add to your Shopify order notification email template. This will remind buyers of the delivery date and time they selected during checkout. Note that you might need to adjust this code to fit your specific email template style:

{% for attribute in attributes %}
    {% if attribute.first == 'shipandco-配達希望日' %}
        <td class="customer-info__item">
            <h4>配達希望日:</h4>
            <p>{{ attribute.last | date: "%m月%d日" }}</p>
        </td>
    {% endif %}
    
    {% if attribute.first == 'shipandco-配達希望時間帯' %}
        <td class="customer-info__item">
            <h4>配達希望時間帯:</h4>
            <p>
                {% case attribute.last %}
                    {% when 'before-noon' %}
                        午前中
                    {% when '12-14' %}
                        12時頃～14時頃
                    {% when '14-16' %}
                        14時頃～16時頃
                    {% when '16-18' %}
                        16時頃～18時頃
                    {% when '18-20' %}
                        18時頃～20時頃
                    {% when '18-21' %}
                        18時頃～21時頃
                    {% when '19-21' %}
                        19時頃～21時頃
                    {% when '20-21' %}
                        20時頃～21時頃
                    {% else %}
                        {{ attribute.last }}
                {% endcase %}
            </p>
        </td>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Feel free to customize this code to align with your brand’s messaging and design preferences.

Set Up the Trigger:

Add Conditions to Check Delivery Preferences:

• Use the condition Attribute > Order Attributes > Includes any of and input the attribute names 'shipandco-配達希望日' and 'shipandco-配達希望時間帯'.

Action to Tag the Order:

• Select Add order tag and enter "配達希望日時" as the tag.
• This automatically tags orders that meet the conditions with "配達希望日時", facilitating easier sorting and management.

Activate Your Workflow:

• Enable the workflow by toggling the activation switch to ON.

Using Shopify Flow not only saves time but also ensures that all Shopify orders with specified delivery preferences are easily identifiable and manageable in your Ship&co App!
