Please use its replacement Shipping Delivery Dates.
This plug-in allows a customer to select an order delivery slot from slots configured by the shop owner. Often used in conjunction with our Order Delivery Date plug-in.
From the plug-in the following site wide parameters can be configured.
- Order cut-off times for selecting a slot.
- Days of week when delivery slots are offered.
- Any additional dates (such as special occassions) when delivery slots are available, although they are not normally offered on that particular weekday. For instance a flower shop may not offer Sunday delivery slots but they do on Mothers Day.
- Dates when delivery slots are not available (e.g. Christmas day) regardless of the day of week.
- Out of hours order collection from numbered lockers using random 4 digit access code.
- The maximum number of deliveries available for a slot (with or without lockers).
- Restrict slots to specific user groups, delivery methods and / or product categories.
Possible scenarios include:
- Morning, afternoon, evening slots.
- Hourly slots between 09:00 and 17:00.
- 5 minutes slots between 19:00 and 22:00.
- Locker collection between 17:00 and 10:00 on next business day.
A simple example of this can be seen in this demo https://hikashop.brainforge.co.uk.
