Banner to show shipping timeframe

Hi, this year my shipping times fluctuate. I want to show customers what my current shipping time frame is. It would be a neat app to have. I asked ChatGPT for an idea on webflow but i was thinking if this something you can do.

Shipping Timeline Status Widget (Visual)

What the customer sees

A small, polished status card like this:

⏱ Current Shipping Timeline
■■■■■■■■□□
4–5 Weeks
Updated Dec 23

Or color-coded:

:green_circle: 2–3 weeks
:yellow_circle: 3–4 weeks
:orange_circle: 4–5 weeks
:red_circle: 5+ weeks


:brain: How YOU control it (One Toggle)

You only ever change ONE value.

Admin Control Options (pick one)

:white_check_mark: BEST: Webflow CMS Toggle

Create a CMS Collection called:

Shipping Timeline Status

Fields
Status Level (Dropdown)

  • Fast (2–3 weeks)

  • Moderate (3–4 weeks)

  • Busy (4–5 weeks)

  • Very Busy (5+ weeks)

Label Text

  • Example: “4–5 Weeks”

Progress Percent

  • 40 / 60 / 80 / 100

Last Updated

You bind:
• Progress bar width
• Color
• Text

Change one dropdown → publish → done.

Hi there and welcome aboard, @Texas_Nights :waving_hand:

Many thanks for the feedback!

We already have a similar idea on the Wishlist and I’ve merged your comment with it. In the meantime, could you please share more details on your use case?

The delivery timeframe will be individual for each client/ right? If so, would you like to manually set the delivery time for each user, or it should be automatically defined based on the product, delivery destination, etc?

No, i already have an app that has a timeline for individual shipping orders that customers can look up on there status order page. The widget i would like would show estimated shipping time frames on the front page of the site so customers know how busy we are before placing an order. It would be like an announcement type of widget but it could be placed anywhere on the front page. On my end i can toggle 1 weeks, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, etc.

Got it, thanks!

I guess our Banner app might be a nice option for you. You just need to add a Text element, where you’ll show the estimated shipping timeframe.

Give it a try and let me know if it meets your needs :slightly_smiling_face:
