Custom text feature allows you to replace information received from the carrier with your own, fixed content.
What is "Custom text" feature?
Custom text is a string that appears on the checkout instead of usual ETA prediction, ignoring both carrier API responses and previous IMP configuration.
Purpose of "Custom text"
For specific or special circumstances, the feature overwrites delivery time calculations to secure the custom delivery time in checkout.

- Placeholder for any text message that can be placed instead of ETA
After applying it, a fixed message will be visible on the checkout below the Delivery Category name:
