# Get Started with SafeShip: Check Before You Ship

SafeShip adds a Weather Forecast block to your Shopify orders, so you can see the expected weather at the delivery location and on the delivery date, right inside the order page.

## ❓ What is the Weather Forecast block?

The Weather Forecast block shows a 5-day forecast for the delivery address of an order, centered on the customer’s chosen delivery date. Instead of switching between your admin and a weather website, you can check conditions directly from the order and decide whether to ship as planned, reschedule, or add extra protection.

The block helps you:

- Spot rain, storms, or extreme temperatures before an order leaves your hands

- Protect weather-sensitive products such as food, flowers, cakes, plants, or electronics

- Contact customers early when the weather may affect a delivery

Each forecast shows:

- **Delivery date and location:** for example, "Delivery Sunday, October 18 - Chicago, IL, 60606"

- **Daily conditions:** a weather icon and description (Light rain, Clear sky, Scattered clouds…)

- **Temperature range:** the low and high for each day, in °F

|| 💡 On your SafeShip Dashboard, you can also see an hourly and 5-day forecast for your own shop location, so you always know the conditions where you ship from.

## 🛠 FAQs

1.  **Which location does the forecast use?**
The Weather Forecast block on an order uses the order's delivery address and delivery date. The forecast on your SafeShip Dashboard uses your shop location.

2. **Does the forecast update automatically?**
The forecast reflects the latest weather data available when you open the order. Reopen or refresh the order page to see the newest information.

3. **Does this change my order or notify my customer?**
No. The Weather Forecast block is for your reference only. It does not change the order, its fulfillment status, or send any message to your customer.
