WooODT Extended v1.2.5 Release Notes

We’re thrilled to introduce WooODT Extended v1.2.5, packed with robust enhancements that offer greater flexibility for store owners and a smoother shopping experience for customers. This release includes category-specific availability periods and product-level date-time management to refine delivery and pickup settings.

1. Category-Specific Availability Period

Effortlessly control product availability for entire categories.

  • Set Category-Specific Date Ranges: Admins/store managers can assign a specific date range (From Date to To Date) for a product category. Products in that category will only be available within the defined timeframe.
  • Real-Time Checkout Validation:
    • If the cart contains products from a restricted category, customers attempting to choose a delivery/pickup date outside the allowed period will see a notice.
    • The system restricts order placement and prompts the customer to select a valid date.

2. Product-Level Date-Time Management

Gain precise control over delivery and pickup schedules at the individual product level.

  • Order Type and Scheduling on Product Pages: Customers can select the order type (Delivery or Pickup), date, and time for each product directly on its page.
  • Blackout Dates (Validated During Add to Cart): Admins can define blackout dates for individual products. If a customer selects a delivery/pickup date within the blackout period, the product cannot be added to the cart, preventing scheduling conflicts early in the process.
  • Custom Pre-Order Lead Times: Each product can have its own minimum pre-order days, allowing customers to select only those delivery/pickup dates that respect the specified lead time.
  • Unified Delivery Date and Time:
    • For delivery orders, all products in the cart must share the same delivery date and time, ensuring seamless logistics for the entire order.
    • For pickup orders, customers can choose separate pickup dates and times for different products, offering flexibility for staggered pickups.
  • Delivery and Pickup Separation: To simplify operations, customers cannot combine delivery and pickup products within the same order.

3. Flexible Field Placement for Delivery/Pickup, Date, and Time

With WooODT Extended v1.2.5, you can now control where the delivery/pickup, date, and time fields appear:

  • Single Product Page: Allow customers to select delivery/pickup options, dates, and times for each product directly on its product page for greater flexibility.
  • Checkout Page: Alternatively, consolidate the delivery/pickup, date, and time selection fields on the checkout page for a streamlined order process.
  • Admins can switch between these placements to suit their store’s needs, providing better control over the user experience.

  • Better control over product and category availability.
  • Enhanced delivery and pickup scheduling options.
