Is it possible that when an order is cancelled, the delivery date and time becomes available for other customers? I didn’t see anything like that in the plugin settings and it is a very important feature that I need on my project.
Hi Zik,
Yes, when the order is canceled the delivery date and time will be released for other customers to book.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with the plugin settings, feel free to reach out.

I had earlier tested but I was surprised that thedate remained unavailable even after updating the order status to cancelled, Refunded and even Deleted the order log. The selected date was completely unavailable for new booking and that was why I asked. Please can you check again.
Is compatible with Dokan Multivendors?
Hi Roger,
Thank you for your inquiry. I’m pleased to inform you that our Order Delivery Date PRO plugin is compatible with the Dokan Multivendor plugin. Here, I’m sharing the documentation link for your reference: https://www.tychesoftwares.com/docs/docs/order-delivery-date-pro-for-woocommerce-new/integrations-tab/how-can-i-integrate-with-dokan-plugin/
If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to reach out.

hi there,
do you have report delivery per day in pro version ?
Hi Antoine, You can see the total number of deliveries per day by exporting them to CSV.
:Vishal
Perfect ! Thanks for your answers
Hi, I’m considering this plugin. However looking at the demo site, I cannot seem to get the estimated delivery date to show on the product pages on the front end. Is there something wrong with the demo? Because I would think that this would be one of the fundamental features. Thank you.
Hi Ryan,
I am afraid with the Order Delivery Date Pro plugin we display the estimated delivery date for the whole order so it appears on the cart/checkout pages.
If you want to display the estimated delivery date on single product pages I recommend you to take a look at our Product Delivery Date Pro plugin: https://www.tychesoftwares.com/store/premium-plugins/product-delivery-date-pro-for-woocommerce/
Thanks for the reply. So you are saying I can’t do the following together?
If that is the case that is very unfortunate.
Hi Ryan, Yes I am afraid both the plugins are not integrated so right now there is no direct way to select a delivery date on the product pages and then have a single delivery date calculated per order based on each of the dates selected for individual products.
But in the Product Delivery Date Pro plugin there is an option to auto-populate the same delivery date selected on the first product you add to the cart to all the other products you visit so you can utilize that feature.
Hi, One thing that would be useful is “Collection Date” – We use the delivery plugin for hire of goods, so it would be useful to have a set editable day range to apply a collection date to the order, like default 14 days if enabled, but it can be edited.
Just an idea.
Hi Nathan, So a Delivery Date & a Collection Date, both is what you are saying? We do have a Pickup Date addon which will add another date field after the Delivery Date field. You can check the addon here: https://www.tychesoftwares.com/store/premium-plugins/pickup-date-addon-order-delivery-date-woocommerce-plugin/ . But it doesn’t have the option to set a range right now.
