Order Delivery Date & Product Delivery Date for WooCommerce plugins allow your customers to choose a delivery date and time.
Both of these plugins solve the same problem. At times, this creates some confusion when a customer is looking at these 2 plugins.
Customers often ask this question that what are the differences between these 2 plugins? In many cases, some customers also purchase the wrong plugin i.e. they would purchase the Product Delivery Date plugin when they really needed to buy the Order Delivery Date plugin or vice-versa.
This is the reason why I thought of writing up this detailed comparison between the two plugins:
