We’ve enhanced the Product Metafield and Variant Metafield item conditions in Estimate Rule Setup by adding support for two numeric metafield types:
- Decimal
- Integer
This update allows you to create more precise and flexible estimated delivery rules based on numeric metafield values, such as product weight, custom measurements, or production batch numbers.
How to set up:
- Add a new include or exclude Product/Variant Metafield condition.
- Select a metafield type: Decimal or Integer.
- Choose a metafield name (retrieved from your store’s metafields).
- Enter value in one of the following ways:
- Set a minimum (e.g. weight ≥ 2)
- Set a maximum (e.g. inventory ≤ 10)
- Set both min and max to define a range
- Leave both blank to apply the rule to products that do not have this metafield.
Note:
You can add multiple metafields under Product/Variant Metafield conditions. They have an OR relationship at the same level. 
We've introduced a new setting for the
'Inventory locations'
condition when using 'AND'
logic with 'Inventory Quantity'
: "Count inventory only from selected locations"- Turn OFF → Counts the total available quantity across all inventory locations.
- Turn ON → Counts only the available quantity from the selected locations.
Example:
Merchant setup:
- Location A: 0 units
- Location B: 100 units
- Total available quantity: 100
Rule setup:
- Include Inventory Location A
- AND Inventory quantity is min=max=10
Scenario 1: Option OFF (Counts all locations)
- Count total inventory = 100 (A + B)
- ✅ Condition matches → Rule is applied
Scenario 2: Option ON (Counts only selected locations)
- Count inventory in Location A = 0
- ❌ Condition does not match → Rule is not applied
In Rule Display Condition > Location Condition > Countries, Regions, we've added a new option: "Rest of the World."
Selecting "Rest of the World" includes all countries except those specified in other rules. If any country conditions exist in other rules, this option will automatically select all remaining countries.
The new template supports creating rules with most conditions and logic. Instructions are included in the file.

Checkout rule name
When creating a rule, you must now specify an internal rule name that is not visible to customers. Existing rules will have their shipping method names converted into rule names.
You can now easily duplicate estimate and checkout rules. This creates an exact copy of the original rule, including all settings.
Merchants can now override the default order date-based calculation on a per-rule basis by specifying a Custom Date Calculation.
What’s New?
- Custom Date Per Rule– Each estimate rule can now have a specific custom date as the starting point for calculating delivery estimates.
- Ideal for Pre-orders & Scheduled Releases– Supports scenarios where products are not immediately available for shipping.
How It Works
- Create or Edit an Estimate Rule
- Enable "Calculate from custom date" within the rule settings.
- Select a specific date from which the estimated delivery will be calculated instead of the order date.
- Save the rule, and the estimated delivery date will now be calculated based on the chosen date.
Example Use Cases
Scenario: A high-demand item will be back in stock on March 10, 2025 and will start shipping from that date.
Rule Setup:
- Enable “Calculate from custom date” - Custom Date: March 10, 2025
- Minimum Delivery Days: 2
- Maximum Delivery Days: 4
- Supposed that there is no non-working days and blackout dates.
Result:
- Today is Feb 20, 2025
- EDD display: March 12 – March 14, 2025
(March 10 + Min Delivery 2 days = March 12)
(March 10 + Max Delivery 4 days = March 14)
A new configuration option is now available, allowing merchants to choose how the
Minimum and Maximum Delivery Date
is calculated to better match their fulfillment process. 
Merchants can choose between:
1/ Order Date (default)
- Formula: Delivery Date = Order Date + Number of Delivery Days
- Ideal for merchants who want their estimates based strictly on the day the order is placed.
2/ Max Preparation Date
- Formula: Delivery Date = Order Date + Max Preparation Date + Number of Delivery Days
- Suitable for merchants needing to include extra processing or preparation time before shipping.
Example:
Order Date: March 1
Setup:
- Minimum Preparation Days: 1
- Maximum Preparation Days: 2
- Minimum Delivery Days: 3
- Maximum Delivery Days: 5
Result: Min-Max Delivery Date: March 5 – March 7
(March 1 + Max Preparation 2 days + Min Delivery 3 days = March 5)
(March 1 + Max Preparation 2 days + Max Delivery 5 days = March 7)
You can now add
Exceptions
with more item conditions, ensuring that specific products remain unaffected by existing rules for estimated delivery dates.What’s New?
✅ Apply Exceptions when using at least
one
of these conditions:- Collection
- Vendor
- Product Tag
- Inventory Location
- Inventory Quantity
