<h2>Example usage</h2>
<p>Clive manages a WooCommerce store selling party equipment, generally his customers leave ordering until near the party date and they often want to know exactly when a product will arrive. Each product displays the time the customer must order by to receive their party equipment by a specific date. This results in less questions sent to his customer service team and customers know exactly when to expect their products to be delivered.</p>
