This feature is only available for Shopify Grow plan (or higher) in Egypt.
Same-day delivery allows customers to receive their orders on the same day of purchase. You configure this directly in Shopify using shipping rates and zones.
Only orders placed before 12:30 PM are eligible for same-day delivery.
Orders placed after this time will be processed for next-day delivery, even if the customer selects “Same Day Delivery” during checkout.
