# Shipping choice & avaibility

## Requirements

* You need to DingDoong in your theme so all your settings for shipping will work in storefront
* If you haven't enabled our app yet, please follow the steps in **How to embed app in** [How to create a test theme?](/how-to-create-a-test-theme.md)

## Shipping choice 

Once you enable shipping method you'll need to configure the type of delivery scheduling you'd like to offer your customers. You can choose from three options:

* **Single Date**
* **Date with Exact Time**
* **Date with Time Range**

After selecting the type of delivery scheduling you want to set up, go to **Shipping Availability** to define your shipping working days and the times you offer to customers.

## Single date&#x20;

If you provide shipping to customers on a specific date without specifying a time, in **Shipping Availability**, simply select the days you offer shipping and define your working days.

**DingDoong** allows you to choose from the following options:

* Offer shipping every day of the week.
* Offer shipping on specific days of the week.
* Offer shipping on specific dates of the year.

### Date with exact time & Date with time range&#x20;

With these two options, our app allows you to set shipping times in two different ways: **Fixed Time** and **Time Range**.
