Delivery Days selection

If you change the delivery days from the Date Settings page, then that will reflect on the Checkout page. Let us understand this with an instance:

Consider selecting the delivery days as Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and save these settings. The checkout page will show calendar for Pickup Date with only these 3 days enabled and rest are all disabled, thus restricting customers to select from them. This is shown in the below 2 images:
