Collection Rules Settings 

The Collection Rule in NS Estimated Delivery Date is a flexible way to manage delivery estimates for multiple products grouped in the Collection Level. 

Instead of setting individual delivery dates for each item, the Collection Rule enables you to apply a unified estimated delivery time to products within 2 types of collection:

• Pre-set Shopify Collection
• Custom EDD Collection

Priority of Rule Levels: Product > EDD Collection > Shopify Collection > Global

In this post, you will learn how to create and manage Collection Rule. Let’s get started now!
