Often you won't know the exact date, so you enter a best estimate. On a current Downpay plan, you can use [due on fulfillment](https://docs.downpay.app/en/article/understanding-balance-due-dates-in-downpay-xntch6/) instead of a fixed date. On a legacy plan, you'll need to give Downpay a due date, then change what customers see on your storefront. In both cases, you can edit your theme content to control exactly what appears. Here is every place the date (or the "due on fulfillment" wording) shows up, and how to edit or remove it: * Edit or remove it on the [product page](https://docs.downpay.app/en/article/modify-date-and-content-display-about-deposits-on-your-theme-13dgsid/#2-edit-or-remove-due-date-in-downpay-block) * Edit or remove it on the [checkout and order pages](https://docs.downpay.app/en/article/modify-date-and-content-display-about-deposits-on-your-theme-13dgsid/#1-checkout-order-status-page-and-customer-accounts) * Edit or remove it in [customer emails](https://docs.downpay.app/en/article/modify-date-and-content-display-about-deposits-on-your-theme-13dgsid/#1-email-notifications) --- [Jump to top](#6-on-this-page) --- --- Looking for more?
