<hr class="wccom-product-single__section-hr" />
<p>Customers often abandon carts or raise support tickets because they don’t know when their order will arrive. Missing delivery information is one of the top reasons for lost sales and post-purchase complaints.</p>
<p>This plugin solves that by automatically calculating and displaying estimated delivery dates based on your store’s actual shipping rules, accounting for minimum and maximum processing days, cutoff times, and excluded dates, so buyers always see a realistic delivery window before and after purchase.</p>
<h2>What This Plugin Does</h2>
<p>The Estimated Order Delivery and Pickup Date plugin automatically calculates and displays delivery date messages in real time. The delivery window calculation accounts for:<br />
• Minimum and maximum processing days you define per rule<br />
• A daily cutoff time after which next-day processing begins<br />
• Specific weekdays or custom dates excluded from delivery calculations<br />
• The customer’s shipping method, zone, or country<br />
• The product’s current stock status (in stock, out of stock, or on backorder).</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<h3>Multi-Page Display Support</h3>
<p>Show estimated delivery messages on five separate pages of your WooCommerce store. Each location can be independently enabled or disabled:<br />
• Single Product Page — primary delivery message display<br />
• Shop / Archive Page — show estimates below product cards<br />
• Cart Page — reinforce delivery expectations before checkout<br />
• Checkout Page — display estimates while the customer selects shipping<br />
• Thank You / Edit Order Page — final confirmation of delivery window</p>

<h3>Stock-Status-Based Messages — Product Rules</h3>
<p>When using product-based rules, configure three separate messages — one for each stock status:<br />
• In Stock Message — shown when the product is in stock<br />
• Out of Stock Message — shown when the product is out of stock<br />
• Backorder Message — shown when the product allows backorders</p>

<h3>Single Unified Message — Shipping Rules</h3>
<p>When using shipping-based rules, a single message applies to all products matched by the rule. This message displays on the cart and checkout pages when the customer’s shipping details match the rule conditions.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734006440197" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734006440197" style="width: 980px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/estimated-delivery-message-for-shipping.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-18734006440197" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/estimated-delivery-message-for-shipping.png" alt="Set estimated delivery message on the basis of shipping details" width="980" height="453" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734006440197" class="wp-caption-text">Set estimated delivery message on the basis of shipping details</figcaption></figure>

<h3>Dynamic Date Shortcodes</h3>
<p>Use two built-in shortcodes inside your message text to automatically insert calculated delivery dates:<br />
• [delivery_minimum_date] — inserts the earliest estimated delivery date<br />
• [delivery_maximum_date] — inserts the latest estimated delivery date<br />
Dates are calculated and displayed in real time using the rule’s day settings, cutoff time, and excluded dates. No hardcoded dates — the message always shows the correct window.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734006440156" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734006440156" style="width: 980px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/estimated-deliver-message-for-products.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-18734006440156" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/estimated-deliver-message-for-products.png" alt="Set custom message for estimated order delivery date and time for different stock status" width="980" height="456" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734006440156" class="wp-caption-text">Set custom message for estimated order delivery date and time for different stock status</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Advanced Features</h2>
<h3>Multi-Rule Priority System</h3>
<p>Multiple rules can coexist. The plugin evaluates all enabled rules and applies the one whose conditions are currently met. Use enable/disable toggles to control which rules are active at any time.</p>
<h3>Next-Business-Day Processing Logic</h3>
<p>The cutoff time setting ensures delivery estimates account for real-world order processing windows. There is no need for manual intervention — the plugin determines day 1 of processing automatically based on the time of day.</p>
<h3>Shipping Country Targeting</h3>
<p>For international stores, rules can be scoped down to specific shipping countries, giving you precise control over per-destination delivery windows.</p>
<h3>Backorder-Specific Messaging</h3>
<p>Configure separate messaging for backordered products to communicate extended timelines clearly and honestly — reducing post-purchase disappointment and support queries.</p>
<h2>Why Choose This Plugin</h2>
<h3>Condition-First Rule Engine</h3>
<p>Unlike simple date-adder plugins that add a fixed number of days to today’s date, this plugin calculates delivery windows dynamically based on layered conditions — product type, stock status, shipping destination, cutoff time, and excluded days — giving store owners precise, real-world accuracy.</p>
<h3>Stock-Status-Aware Messaging</h3>
<p>Separate messages for in-stock, out-of-stock, and backorder products mean customers always see contextually accurate delivery communication — not a generic estimate that applies regardless of availability.</p>
<h3>Shortcode-Powered Dynamic Dates</h3>
<p>No hardcoded date text. Estimated delivery dates are calculated automatically and displayed in real time. When your processing time or excluded dates change, the message updates automatically — no manual edits required.</p>
<h3>End-to-End Customer Journey Coverage</h3>
<p>From the shop page to the thank you page, the delivery message follows the customer through every step of the purchase process, building trust and confidence at every touchpoint.</p>
<h3>Non-Developer Friendly</h3>
<p>Every setting is managed through a visual rule builder with dropdowns, checkboxes, and color pickers. No PHP, no template editing, no custom CSS required. If you can manage products in WooCommerce, you can configure this plugin.</p>

Estimated Order Delivery and Pickup Date

<p>Show estimated order delivery date on your WooCommerce shop. Configure rules based on product, category, shipping country, shipping zone, and shipping method.</p>

<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Offer shipping rates based on <strong>distance</strong> or <strong>total travel time</strong> to your customer.</li>
<li>Charge extra based on <strong>total weight</strong>, the <strong>total cart value, </strong>or <strong>the number of items in the cart.</strong></li>
</ul>
<hr class="wccom-product-heading__hr" />
<p>Perfect for the store owner who wants to charge customers for delivery of items based on how far away they are from the store. A perfect example would be for store hiring out equipment or a takeaway store.</p>
<p>For example say you are a company hiring out Keg Draught Beer setups and deliver the equipment however want to charge different rates for the delivery based on how far away the customer is from you and how many kegs they hire, then WooCommerce Distance Rate Shipping extension is for you.</p>
<p>Or if you run a service that produces home cooked meals but would like to charge more for delivery based on the further the customer lives from you then the WooCommerce Distance Rate Shipping extension is perfect.</p>
<p>The use cases are endless and can cover pretty much every scenario for charging shipping based on the total distance or travel time.</p>
