HDWebmobile Delivery Date & Time Slot Picker
Let customers pick a delivery date and time slot at checkout. Works correctly on both classic and block-based Checkout.
Overview
HDWebmobile Delivery Date & Time Slot Picker adds a “Delivery date” and “Delivery time slot” dropdown to checkout, so shoppers can choose exactly when they want their order delivered. Merchants control which weekdays are never available (e.g. no Sunday delivery), block out specific dates (holidays, stock-take days), and set how many days of lead time are needed before the first available delivery date.
Many delivery-scheduling plugins were built only for the classic WooCommerce checkout and silently fail to save the customer’s choice on the newer block-based Checkout, since the two use entirely separate rendering systems. This plugin registers its fields using WooCommerce’s own native Checkout Fields API for the block-based Checkout, and a traditional hook-based implementation for classic checkout — both paths save to the same order data, so the chosen date and time slot always show up correctly in the admin order screen and order emails, regardless of which checkout your store uses.
Key Features
- Works correctly on both classic (shortcode) Checkout and the modern block-based Checkout — a documented gap in some competing plugins
- Native field rendering with zero custom JavaScript on the block-based Checkout, using WooCommerce’s own Checkout Fields API
- Blocked weekdays (e.g. no Sunday/Monday delivery) and specific blackout dates (holidays, stock-take days)
- Configurable lead time (minimum days ahead) and how many days ahead to offer
- Delivery date and time slot are shown automatically in order emails and on the admin Edit Order screen, using WooCommerce’s own order-field display
- Every submitted value is re-validated on the server against the live availability rules, so a tampered or stale value can never be saved
- Works for guests and logged-in shoppers alike
How to Use
1. Configure availability. Go to WooCommerce > Delivery Date & Time Slot. Set how many days of lead time are needed, how many days ahead to offer, which weekdays are never available, and list any blackout dates (one per line). Add your time slots as plain text, one per line (e.g. “9:00 AM – 12:00 PM”).
2. Customers choose at checkout. On checkout, shoppers see “Delivery date” and “Delivery time slot” dropdowns, populated only with dates that respect your blocked weekdays and blackout dates. Both fields are required.
3. View the chosen delivery info. The selected date and time slot appear automatically on the order confirmation page, in order emails, and on the admin Edit Order screen, since they’re saved as standard WooCommerce order fields.
Limitations
Please read before installing:
- No per-slot capacity limits — every time slot is offered on every valid date regardless of how many orders have already picked it; there’s no “this slot is full” cutoff in this version
- Time slots are a fixed global list, not date-specific — the same slots are offered for every valid date; slots that vary by day of week aren’t supported
Quick Setup
- Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/hdwebmobile-delivery-date-time-slot directory, or install through the Plugins screen directly.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. WooCommerce must already be installed and active.
- Go to WooCommerce > Delivery Date & Time Slot to configure lead time, blocked weekdays, blackout dates, and time slots.
