How do I show the Estimated Delivery Date?

With the Order Delivery Date Pro for WooCommerce plugin, you can choose to show the estimated delivery date text for the customer on their checkout page. Here’s how to configure it:

Earlier, store owners could not set the text note if they wished to. However now, we have made the text note dynamic.

This means that the store owners can make changes to it however they would like. With this feature, store owners can choose to either display a delivery date picker on the checkout page or simply show the estimated date text.

To set up your text block, go to Dashboard > Order Delivery Date > Delivery Schedule > Choose a schedule > Edit option.

For now, let’s go with the Default Delivery Schedule.

Go to Date Settings and Enable the Delivery Date. Next, click on the option ‘Text block’ in order to display the estimated delivery date on the checkout page.

Enter the estimated delivery range. For instance, you can go with 1 and 3 as shown below. The message that would be displayed to the customer will therefore mention that it will take an estimated time of 1-3 days for their delivery.

Here, the store owners can customize the text they wish to display on the front end. Feel free to use HTML tags to style your texts.

For instance, if you want the text to appear a little bigger, then you can add the HTML tags for font size and define how big you require the font to be as shown here:

Here the estimated shipping date will appear to the customer first. The shipping date will be the same date on which the customer has placed the order.

Following this, the customer will get to view the delivery days, which means that the customer will get to know that they will receive their order between 1-3 working days from the shipping days.
