Reviews
Doesnt work with 5.9, until they fixed it! Update: I complained and they fixed it in a week. That's amazing support. I did swap to something else but this support was so great, I went through the work to switch back. Before: Since updating to 5.9 this plugin no longer works. Often I am unable to update the date field and it just shows 1970. If I can get to the point of choosing a date, it doesn't save it correctly and I have to try again. Very rarely it works now. I have to use something else I cant have this going on.
This guy hit it spot on. Wasted allot of time looking for something that was right in front of me. Thanks Chetna Patel
This plugin can do just about everything you need, when it comes to delivery dates and times. Also rather complex calculations. Most will only need the free version, but the paid version offers a lot from what I can see.
This is one of my favorites and what a support team, quick to respond/answer, quick to improve the plugin and just one of the best out there
Very pleased with the support received from Chetna. We had an issue with deliveries that only affected two days within the week and with access to the site, Chetna fixed this issue. Would definitely recommend this company.
So excited to use this plugin which works perfectly on my web page. Of course I must say the support helped me out easily and quickly. Thank you!
I sent two tickets to the support team on separate occasions for 2 different bugs. Both questions were handled by Chetna. She did a great job by testing and informing her team to fix the bugs. Both problems were solved following the next 2 plugin updates. Chetna was reliable and responsive. Thank you very much! Responsive Support and Follow Up on Bug Fix
Custom Delivery Time Slots
I needed to find a plugin that could allow my client to have specific days and time slots for different categories. I used the Custom Delivery Settings to have many different configurations for different days. This allowed them to take pre-orders of food too. It was worked perfectly so far and plan to use again.
Gutted, I so hopped this would be the plugin I needed. Firstly, the date selection did not appear on the checkout page. I could only get it to appear on the Cart page. Secondly, was unable to limit plugin’s visibility /availability based on shipping method.
Great plugin and for sure immediate support! I had an issue after a recent wordpress update and they fix it only in a couple of days after my first mail! Keep going
Easy to get the delivery date into all manner of exports and other places due to the way they have decided to store the data – very clever!
Even this free lite version has a ton of options. And from my research, this is the only delivery date plugin for Woocommerce that has such a granular adjustment on the minimum delivery date. It can be set in hours, not just days like the rest of them. So for instance, I’m using this on the floral shop website and I set the minimum delivery date to 13 hours. That means that someone can order flowers for same-day delivery up to 11:00 AM. That’s a pretty important little feature…great job Tyche Softwares!
The plugin and support are excellent. The option to trial using the ‘lite’ version is a great feature. You don’t have to upgrade to use it long term but the amount is earned back quickly as pointed out by the devloper
Works well. A conflict between this plugin and another plugin I am using was resolved within a week in the next release. Simple, no fuss, does the job.
Great plugin that does exactly what it says.
I had a minor conflict with another plugin & within 4 hours they provided a new version of the plugin to solve the issue. Now, that’s good support.
I will consider upgrading to the Pro version!
Custom cut off times for each day.We use this plugin for the web shop of our florist for customers to arrange deliveries Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings. Being able to set an earlier cut off time for Saturdays (or Sundays when applicable) is great.
Great plugin, fast support! I had a problem in the configuration and where the calendar had to be displayed, and very kindly and in a short time they facilitated the help
Using order delivery date LITE. Fantastic plugin for woocommerce. Even though LITE version is free, support is clean fast and magnificent. After my request for help they fixed my issue in no time and released an update of the plugin. Tremendous job guys, keep up the superb work!
brandonecarr — This plugin is the perfect solution for allowing your customers to tell you when they’ll be available for delivery. Especially if you’re a small business that tends directly to your customer, this plugin will allow you to ensure their happiness with their order in that they’ll know exactly when to expect their delivery. A definite 5 star rating for the plugin and a 5 star rating for the support that it comes with! Please don’t have any doubts purchasing this one! Best money you’ll ever spend!
creaselambert — A perfect plugin, says what it does and adds the functions simply with no fuss. I even had additional support when I wanted to tweak the plugin to fit my site better. Would recommend this to everyone.
DR Designs — Absolutely amazing support from @tychesoftwares with his WooCommerce Delivery Date plugin! Amazing #Happy #Customer #CustomerService

Can you help me? One more issue in cut off time, I need your help
Can you help me this is possible to in “Order Delivery Date Pro for WooCommerce” plugin
I have purchased this plugin
1.2 We need a cut off time for orders. Orders after 20:00 should be considered as the next day. Please see an example below.
User(s) who place orders on 2nd November between 12:00 to 20:00 are only able to select delivery/pick-up from 5th November 2022 onwards (excluding Sundays as we do not operate on Sundays).
From 20:00 (2nd November) to 20:00 (3rd November), they are only able to select delivery/pick-up from 7th November 2022 onwards (should be 6th Nov but it falls on a Sunday and our shop is closed so orders can only be fulfilled on 7th instead).
Hi Urvisha,
Thank you for purchasing our Order Delivery Date plugin and for explaining your requirement with examples.
To meet your requirement, please follow below steps.
1. On Delivery Schedule page, set Minimum Delivery Time to 76( 24*3+4 remaining hours )
2.. Go to Settings > Business Days page, enable “Calculate delivery by working days” setting and select all business days to apply minimum delivery time on non-working days too. Here is the screenshot of the setting page for your convenience – https://prnt.sc/q8RJ6swDS1at
Do let me know the result after making these changes or if you have any questions about this.
Regards,
Chetna Bhutka
I want to disable orders on Sundays and Mondays. On the shipping and delivery page I have selected Sunday and Monday in the “day you can not supply orders” list but it is still allowing orders to be placed both for pickup and delivery. Seems like a bug.
Hi Matt,
Currently, from our plugin, we do not provide any such field named ‘day you can not supply orders’ either from Pro or lite version.
Can you please mention the exact field name to me or else can you please provide me the screenshot of the same?
This will help me provide you with a better assistance.
My apologies, it appears this feature is related to a different shipping and delivery plugin I am using not yours. Thanks.
Hi Matt,
That is absolutely fine.
Even our plugin has got a feature of adding days (holidays) when you don’t want to deliver and it is working perfectly fine.
If you want you can test the same in our demo site and the link for the same is http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommerce/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tychesoftwares.com%2Fwoocommerce%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin.php%3Fpage%3Dorder_delivery_date_lite&reauth=1
This is our lite version, just have a look at the same in case you feel more convinced. 🙂
Hi there, I’m using your plugin and I’ve added a few holidays on the new Holidays tab option. But it’s not working at all? No changes to the calendar in the checkout. Other than adding the Holiday dates, is there anything else I need doing? Your help would be much appreciated!
Hi Irene,
I have tried to replicate the issue on our staging site with the latest version of our lite plugin(3.2) where I have added few holidays in the Holidays tab. But, I am unable to replicate the issue as the set holidays are been shown as disabled in the calendar on the checkout page.
Can you please create a ticket on tickets at tychesoftwares dot uservoice dot com with the URL of your website and the admin access of your site, so we can check the issue on your site?
https://vleeschenco.nl
Don’t know if it happened before or after updating Wc to the latest version. I’m only aware with this issue since this weekend when customers start to react the chosen date didn’t’t match their email confirmation. Since yesterday I was noticed customers couldn’t even choose a calendar pre set date.
Ok. What’s the website where you are facing the issue?
Hi,
I’m using the lite version on my website for approx 18 moths. All the time it worked fine. Since this weekend the calendar isn’t visible anymore on the field on the check out page, so it means customers can’t choose a pre set day, and jus fill in a random date. Not good… since our distribution is aligned with just 2 days per week.
Is there something changed last week in the plugin, that this doesn’t appear anymore where it should?
I’m using it with Woocommerce latest version.
Hi, The plugin was updated 4 weeks ago. Nothing has changed in the plugin in the last week. Did this happen after you updated WooCommerce to it’s latest version?
Hi, After the latest woocomerce update, this plugin is not working, its only showing a blank field.
Hi Cesar,
I have tested the latest version (2.9) of our Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce plugin with the latest version of WooCommerce (3.0.1) on our staging site.
And the calendar is working properly fine on our staging site. I am attaching a screenshot for reference: http://prntscr.com/eth4wt
Can you please check by the switching the theme (currently active) to the default WordPress theme, if the calendar works fine?
If it does not, please deactivate all your plugins and check if it works fine and try activating the plugin one by one and check the conflicting plugin.
If still, the calendar does not work, please create a ticket on tickets at tychesoftwares dot uservoice dot com with the URL of your website and the admin access of your site, so we can check the issue on your site.
Is it possible to change the delivery date after it has already been chosen and the sale has gone through?
Hi Rami,
Currently, it is not possible from our Lite version of the plugin to add/edit the Delivery Date of an order from the WooCommerce->Add/Edit Order page.
However, it is possible to edit/add the Delivery Date for an order from admin side in our Pro version.
If you want, you can try your requirements on our demo site. Here are the links to our demo site: http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommercepro/wp-admin and this is the front end link: http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommercepro/?page_id=5
Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Just started trialing this with the idea that a step up to pro if all goes well.
I have noticed that in the Lite version I can only set the calender to 2 months max is this just a Lite constraint as I’d like to be able to offer up to 12 months in advance, so people can plan ahead
Yes. That is a Lite constraint. You can setup 12 months calendar in advance. And the Pro version has many other features that are tremendously helpful.
I need some help with woo commerce. I just want to have a drop down menu on check out for free delivery for certain days depending on zip code. I want to deliver product to certain zip codes on certain days of the week. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
Currently, from our Lite version plugin, it is not possible to set different date settings for different shipping methods.
However, from our Order Delivery Date Pro for WooCommerce plugin (Pro version) it is possible to set different date and time settings based on different shipping methods added under the new Shipping Zones in WooCommerce or for different shipping classes under the Custom Delivery Settings tab present in the settings page of our plugin.
You can try your requirements on our demo site. Here are the links of our demo site: http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommercepro/wp-admin and this is the front end link: http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommercepro/?page_id=5
Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Hi, is it possible to choose a “Delivery Date” (from a date picker) when I add an order from admin panel ?
That is not possible in the Lite version. You can do that in the PRO version of the plugin.
Hi Adekunle,
The issue could be happening due to some conflict with the theme which you are using on your site or with some other plugins which are active on your site.
Can you please try by deactivating other plugins and by changing the theme to WordPress default theme and check whether the calendar appears fine on the checkout page?
If the issue still exists on your site then could you please email me (on komal at tychesoftwares dot com) with your site details and with the admin access so that we can check the issue on your site?
Hi, I am trying out the lite version before buying the pro.
I installed the plugin and got the delivery textbox appearing in my checkout page.
When I clicked the Delivery date text box, the date picker does not appear.
I don’t any other plugins install, beside Woocommerce.
Is there any solution to this?
Hi,
I’m trying the free plugin now and for now it looks great. I have only one question. When the date picker is available at the checkout page, the box were you can set the date is empty. Only when you select a date, the date will appear in the box.
Is it possible to get as default the first optional date, and when a customer want to change it, they can change it to the specific date?
Thanks, Melvyn
Hi Melvyn,
Sorry for the delay in response.
Currently, it is not possible in our Order Delivery Date Lite version to auto-populate the first available date in the Delivery Date field.
However, we have released this feature in our Pro version of the plugin. You can check this feature in our demo website. Here are the links to the demo website:
Frontend: http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommercepro/?post_type=product
Admin: http://demo.tychesoftwares.com/woocommercepro/wp-admin/admin.php?page=order_delivery_date
Can you please point out the main differences between the lite and the pro version of this plugin?
Hi Patricia,
There are a lot of differences. I won’t be able to list them all. Some of the features in PRO (which aren’t available in Lite) are: Custom Delivery Settings based on Shipping methods & Product Categories, Google Calendar integration, Time Slots & a few others.

Hi,
In the description above (Version 1.8 Lite) you say that the delivery date shouldappear in the customers email notification. This doesn’t work for me. Any suggestions why this could be?
Greetings
Nik
Hi Nik,
It should be appearing. Did you try by deactivating other plugins & by changing the theme to WordPress default theme?
If not, can you try that? If that still doesn’t work, then you can create a request on the support forums & the team shall check it tomorrow.
:Vishal
Hi, is there a way to have a specified date only, so user only have a limited choices of date for delivery. Like example 4-5 dates only for delivery date options.
Yes, you have the option to enter specified dates of your choice in the PRO version. You can do so from the “Delivery Dates” tab in the “Order Delivery Date” settings in admin.
I hope you got my reply Christian. Did that work?
Hi, I am trying out the lite version before buying the pro.

Hi KC, It could be happening due to some conflict with your theme.
Could you please email me with your site details & with the wordpress admin access so I can check this?
Hello KC,
How are you? I seem to be having the same problem. Was your issue resolved? Can you share the solution?
Many Thanks,
Ok – I see the feature is listed on the Pro plugin.
Thanks
Neil
That’s right. That feature is already present in the Pro version.
Is it possible to add the requested “Delivery Date” to the WooCommerce Email Templates so the Shop Admin and Customer get the “Delivery Date” listed on their email confirmation?
Thanks
Neil
