# Add the Shipping info block (ships-by date and country flag)

> Show a ships-by date and a shipping line with the shopper's flag and country code.

The **Shipping info** block shows a line like "Ships by Thu, Nov 6" and a line like "🇺🇸 Fast US Shipping". The date is today plus the days you set. It doesn't use carrier data, cut-off times or holidays.

## Before you start

You need Section Store Plus or its free trial.

## Add the block

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Conversion Blocks**.
2. On the **Shipping info** card, click **Edit In Theme**.
3. Pick your theme. Your live theme has a green dot.
4. The theme editor opens on your product template with the block added.
5. Drag the block where you want it.

## Set the date

1. Under **Ships by**, set **Text**. The default is "Ships by".
2. Set **Days after today**. The default is 3. Keep a number here, because an empty field breaks the date.
3. Set **Include weekend**. On counts every day. Off skips Saturday and Sunday.
4. Click **Save**.

To show a delivery date, change **Text** to "Arrives by" and add your usual delivery days.

## Set the shipping line

1. Under **Shipping text customization**, edit **Text**.
2. Keep `COUNTRY_FLAG` and `COUNTRY_CODE` where you want the flag and country code. Each works once per line.
3. To show this line to some countries only:
    - Turn off **Allow all countries**.
    - In **Allowed countries ISO code**, enter codes with commas, like US,CH,DE.
    - Set **Text for rest countries** for everyone else.
4. Click **Save**.

## How it works

- The date comes from the shopper's device.
- We write the date in the storefront language.
- The country comes from Shopify's guess of the visitor's location. If that's missing, we use the storefront's country.

## Other settings

- **Icon:** **Use dot**, **Custom icon**, **Color** and **Size**. With **Use dot** off and no image, no icon shows.
- **Ships by:** **Font size** and **Color**.
- **Shipping text customization:** **Color**. This line has no size setting.
- **Appearance:** **Border**, **Thickness**, **Color**, **Roundness** and **Background**.
- **Padding:** **Vertical** and **Horizontal**.
- **Custom CSS**.

## If it doesn't work

- **The date looks wrong:** check **Days after today** and **Include weekend**.
- **The date says Invalid Date:** **Days after today** is empty. Enter a number.
- **The flag is wrong:** VPNs and some networks confuse Shopify's location guess.
