Delivery cost and date shown near Add to cart


01What we found
Neither a shipping cost or threshold nor a delivery estimate was found near Add to cart.
02Why it costs sales
A cost that appears only at checkout feels like a loss; a concrete date is easier to judge than 'ships in 3 to 5 days'.
03The fix. Who: Theme + Content/Ops
- 1Add a Text block under Add to cart: 'Free delivery over $75 · otherwise $6.95 · arrives in 3 to 5 business days'. Repeat it in the cart drawer. Later, show a date ('Arrives by Thu 9 Oct').
04What should change
High impact on add-to-cart
43% of benchmarked sites don't show shipping cost on the PDP while 64% of users look for it there (Baymard UX statistics); 40% of US abandoners cite extra costs (Baymard abandonment survey).
benchmark, not this store's forecast
If we show delivery cost, free-shipping threshold and arrival window under Add to cart, then checkout completion will rise, because shoppers can predict the total and no loss appears at the last step.
