Product Availability

The Product Availability feature enhances the customer experience by displaying lead times on a product-by-product basis. With transparent expectations, buyers can plan purchases confidently and avoid surprises.

Product Availability
Details

Product Availability helps B2B customers place orders with confidence by clearly communicating expected fulfillment timelines per product. Using a product-level lead time value, the storefront can display an estimated ship date or "lead time” message directly on the product page, or within product cards. This sets expectations upfront, reduces order follow-up, and helps buyers plan around real-world supply constraints.

How It Works

A product metafield is used to store the average lead time (for example: “3–5 business days” or “Ships in ~2 weeks”). That value is then rendered on the front end as a standardized message such as “Estimated ship date” or “Lead time,” typically on the product page and optionally in the cart.

Because the lead time is stored at the product level, it can be maintained by your internal team, updated as supply conditions change, and referenced dynamically across multiple templates without rewriting product descriptions.

B2B Use Cases
  • Set clear fulfillment expectations for made-to-order or variable-lead-time products
  • Reduce customer service follow-up by making timelines visible before purchase
  • Support mixed carts where items have different fulfillment speeds
  • Improve buyer confidence for procurement-driven orders and planned purchases
