Instead of accepting orders without a specific fulfillment time, businesses can allow customers to select an available delivery or pickup slot during checkout. This makes the ordering process more predictable for both shoppers and store staff. Administrators can configure business operating hours, available time intervals, preparation buffers, blocked dates, holidays, and pickup locations. These controls can help businesses avoid accepting orders for periods when they are closed or unable to fulfill additional requests. The scheduling functionality can be especially useful for businesses where order preparation and fulfillment need to happen at specific times, such as restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, florists, catering businesses, and local retailers. 📊 Delivery & Pickup Date Time Pro vs. Default WooCommerce Feature Delivery & Pickup Date Time Pro Default WooCommerce Delivery Date Selection Yes, customer-selectable dates Not included by default Delivery Time Slots Configurable time windows Not included by default Store Pickup Scheduling Supported Requires additional configuration/extensions Multiple Pickup Locations Supported Not a standard feature Business Hours Configurable scheduling hours Limited native scheduling controls Holiday Blocking Available Not provided as a dedicated feature Preparation Time Can be configured Not available as standard Customer Notifications Scheduling-related notifications Standard order notifications Admin Notifications Available for scheduled orders Standard WooCommerce notifications ⚙️ Installation Guide Follow these steps to install and configure the plugin: Download the WooCommerce Delivery & Pickup Date Time Pro GPL Plugin package from your 5ivecode.com account.
