Backorder ETA Display for Magento 2

Show customers when their backordered items will actually ship.

Turns "this item is on backorder" from a customer-service nightmare into a clear, dated promise. Renders on product page, cart, checkout, and order confirmation email.

What's new

The full version history lives in CHANGELOG.md. Highlights:

• v1.1.0 — Module Status banner at the top of admin (shows whether the module is actually active), inline tooltips on every field, backorder_eta attribute now visible + filterable in the product grid, expanded i18n CSV, stale install guides removed.
• v1.0.2 — Production Environment toggle for non-standard dev domains.

What it does

Magento's default backorder message tells customers nothing — just "available for backorder", no date. Customers either don't notice (then complain when packages are late) or they cancel rather than wait an unknown amount of time. This module:

• Adds a per-product backorder_eta text attribute ("Ships in 5-7 business days", "Available Dec 15", "Pre-order — January 5")
• Falls back to a configurable store-wide default ETA if a product has no specific value
• Renders the ETA in four places: product detail page badge, cart summary, checkout summary, order confirmation email
• Three colour styles to match your store branding: warning (amber), info (blue), neutral (grey)
• Fully Hyvä compatible with dark-mode support

Requirements

Installation

Option A — Composer (recommended)

composer require etechflow/module-backorder-eta-display:^1.0
bin/magento module:enable ETechFlow_BackorderEtaDisplay
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:flush

Option B — Manual (from zip)

1. Unzip etechflow-module-backorder-eta-display-1.0.1.zip into:

   <magento-root>/app/code/ETechFlow/BackorderEtaDisplay/
   

   Directory MUST be ETechFlow (capital E, T, F) — case-sensitive on Linux.

2. Enable and set up:

   bin/magento module:enable ETechFlow_BackorderEtaDisplay
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   

After install — quick start

1. License key

Admin → Stores → Configuration → eTechFlow → Backorder ETA Display → License

Paste the key from your purchase email. Skip this on dev/staging — see USER_GUIDE for the auto-bypass patterns.

2. Enable + set defaults

Same admin page:

• General → Enabled = Yes
• General → Default ETA = "Ships in 5-7 business days" (or whatever your default backorder window is)
• General → ETA Label Prefix = "Estimated delivery: " (or leave blank if you prefer the raw ETA)
• Display → Badge Style = warning / info / neutral (pick the colour that matches your branding)
• Display → Show on PDP / Cart / Checkout / Order Email = all Yes (or pick the ones you want)

Save Config.

3. (Optional) Customise per product

Edit any product → eTechFlow Shipping → Backorder ETA field. Type whatever ETA you want for that specific product (e.g. "Available December 15" for a pre-order). Save.

Products with no custom ETA fall back to your store-wide default.

What customers will see

The module only renders when a product is genuinely on backorder AND has a non-empty ETA. In-stock products show nothing.
