WPC Estimated Delivery Date for WooCommerce

Description

This plugin allows customers to plan ahead, choose the best time to receive their parcel and make sure there is someone to pick up the goods in time. It’s also a subtle way to urge the buyers to place their order to receive their package as soon as possible so the order can arrive quickly.

WPC Estimated Delivery Date notify buyers about the earliest and latest dates for the package to arrive. Users can exclude the holidays, weekends or vacation breaks from the estimated time so customers can have a precise estimation.

The estimated delivery date can be configured at multiple levels, storewide or individually for each product. Users can also display a general estimation for all items on the cart page so buyers will acknowledge when they are expected to get the whole order. This is especially necessary when combining items of different shipping methods, zones, classes, etc.

Complex Estimated Delivery Dates

The estimated delivery time can either be a date range, just the earliest date or just the latest date. The corresponding message will appear based on the input of minimum and maximum delivery time counted in days.

Users can display the delivery message for each item or hide them on the cart page and show the general estimated date instead. There is a general estimated delivery date for all items on the cart page and it’s customizable as well.

It’s possible to change the wording of these texts by filling in the corresponding boxes in the plugin setting under WPClever >> Estimated Delivery Date. So the delivery messages can be localized to the target languages.

To display the delivery date on custom positions other than on the given ones, using the shortcode [wpced] is ideal. Extra CSS codes might be needed to adapt the display to your theme or template.

Global vs Individual Estimated Delivery Dates

Global rules for calculating the estimated delivery dates can be configured in the plugin setting for all products (storewide), selected products, products with specific tags, categories, types, brands, collections, attributes, visibility, shipping classes, etc.

The delivery dates will be calculated based on the global rules for different shipping methods and zones. When customers change the shipping methods and their address on the cart page, the estimated delivery date will be re-calculated and updated accordingly. If there are no rules specified for a particular shipping method or shipping zone, the default rules will be utilized.

Individual delivery dates can be specified in the Estimated Delivery Date tab of single product pages. Users can simply choose to disable the global rules or configure new rules applied for that product specifically. Individual rules are prioritized over the global ones.

Extra Timeline & Skipped Dates

The Extra timeline option is available to help sellers have more time processing their order. This is the time point to mark when it’s late for an order to be packed and shipped in time, so orders placed after this hour will be counted with an extra shipping day.

Skipped dates are added to let our plugin know when the sellers are unavailable or unable to prepare for the order delivery. So skipped dates can be weekdays, weekends, holidays, vacation time, etc.; what’s more, multiple skipped dates are possible. Dates added as skipped dates will not be counted when calculating the delivery time for the order. This will apply to all products throughout the store.

Best flexible delivery date plugin

terrato31 January 10, 2024 1 reply

I have tried 4 different plugins, this one is the best by far for me. The date format can be changed on the free version, unlike other plugins, the plugin can be deactivated on product categories on the free version as well unlike others plugins, positions and translation can also be changed easily. An additional value to the plugin would be some design options to custom the message font and color and background.

Good plugin, better than other

Plugin at first look is ok, but bad works. Plugin make incorrect calculation for weekend days (saturday and sunday) and finally shows possible send or delivery at sunday…it is misleading for customers. Sorry but it need to correct.

Works very well and gives you flexibility, even in the free version

Works as expected, great!Absolutely brilliant flexibility. Even in the free version you can override the global settings on a single product base.Looks really great out of the box and the functionality of this plugin gives a professional feel to my sites.I am a huge fan of your plugins ??

Poor

reintjan June 14, 2023 1 reply

This plugin does not do it’s job. Days that have to be skipped in delivery are not. This is reported earlier to developers. Response was maybe theme not compatible, so i tried with default woocommerce theme. That does not work either. If calculated deliverydays for individual products are all identical overall deliverydate does not match. Plugin is not useable on live websites at this stage

Great plugin!
