Yes. Display Arrives Jan 15 (Ships Jan 12) in date picker or order confirmation. Full transparency on timeline.

Q: Does this work with subscriptions?

Absolutely. Recurring orders follow same logic. Subscription can be set by delivery date or shipping date based on your configuration.

Why Date Selection Type Matters

Some businesses need customers to choose when items arrive (delivery date). Others need to know when items must leave the warehouse (shipping date). Food brands need delivery dates because freshness matters at arrival. Wholesale B2B needs shipping dates for warehouse coordination. Shopify doesn't support this distinction natively - you pick one and manually calculate the other. Flare lets you configure which date customers see while automatically calculating both for fulfillment.
