NACSTech Delivery and Pickup Date Time Scheduler for WooCommerce helps stores collect delivery or pickup dates, time slots, and customer instructions directly on the cart and checkout pages.
It is built for stores that need a practical scheduling workflow for both customers and store managers. You can run delivery only, pickup only, or both together from one WooCommerce settings panel.
Key features
- Delivery and pickup scheduling on cart, checkout, or both
- Separate delivery and pickup labels, rules, holidays, and cut-off times
- Day-based time slots with an order-count limit and an optional total-quantity limit per slot
- Blackout dates, recurring holidays, shipping method rules, zone rules, and product/category restrictions
- Special working dates that stay bookable even beyond the normal booking window (e.g. pre-orders for a known future date)
- Hide specific payment methods for Delivery or for Pickup (e.g. no Cash on Delivery for Delivery orders)
- Optional per-product preparation days that extend the lead time automatically when that product is in the cart
- Multiple pickup locations, each with its own address, map link, and shipping-zone restriction
- Customer reschedule controls for allowed order statuses
- Reminder templates for email and SMS notifications
- Manual reminder tools for store admins
- Schedule exports, analytics views, and calendar feed sync

External services
This plugin can connect to external services in the following cases:
- Help request email to NACSTech
The Help tab can send a support email to NACSTech when a store admin submits the help form.
What the service is used for:
To send a support request from the plugin settings page to NACSTech support.
What data is sent and when:
The support request is sent only when the admin manually submits the Help form. It sends the subject, sender email address, message, site name, site URL, WordPress version, and WooCommerce version to NACSTech support using your site’s WordPress mail configuration.
Service provider:
NACSTech

- Deactivation feedback email to NACSTech
When the plugin is deactivated, the plugins screen can show an optional feedback form. If the admin chooses “Submit & Deactivate”, the plugin sends a feedback email to NACSTech.
What the service is used for:
To collect optional product feedback and troubleshooting context when a site admin deactivates the plugin.
What data is sent and when:
The feedback request is sent only when the admin manually chooses “Submit & Deactivate” in the deactivation feedback form.

- Optional SMS gateway chosen by the store owner
The Notifications > SMS Gateway tab lets the store owner connect any third-party SMS provider that supports GET or POST API requests.
What the service is used for:
To send manual or automatic SMS notifications related to delivery or pickup scheduling.
What data is sent and when:
SMS data is sent only when the store owner enables SMS notifications and configures an SMS gateway URL. Depending on the gateway template configured by the store owner, the plugin may send the customer’s phone number, the SMS message content, order-related schedule details included in that message, and any additional gateway fields required by the selected SMS provider.
Service provider:
Any SMS gateway selected and configured by the store owner.
Terms of service and privacy policy:
This plugin does not include, bundle, or enable any SMS provider by default. The plugin only sends SMS-related data if the store owner manually configures a third-party SMS gateway endpoint.
Because the SMS service is chosen entirely by the store owner, the applicable terms of service and privacy policy are those of the selected SMS provider. The store owner is responsible for reviewing and accepting that provider’s terms and privacy policy before enabling SMS notifications.

Changelog
1.0.36
- Added: hide specific payment methods at checkout for Delivery or for Pickup separately (e.g. no Cash on Delivery for Delivery orders), available on both Delivery Settings and Pickup Settings tabs. Works on classic and block checkout.
- Added: special working dates that stay bookable even beyond the normal max-booking-days window, for example opening pre-orders for a known future date. Configurable separately for Delivery and Pickup.
- Added: an optional total-quantity capacity per time slot, alongside the existing order-count capacity, so a slot can also cap how many items (not just how many orders) it accepts.
- Added: an optional “Preparation days” field on each product (WooCommerce Product data > General tab). When a product with preparation days is in the cart, the lead time automatically extends to at least that many days.
- Added: multiple pickup locations, each with its own name, address, map link, and optional shipping-zone restriction. Customers choosing Pickup select a location at checkout, shown on the order and in admin.
- Fixed: the block checkout’s date picker did not enforce the minimum lead-time (including the new per-product preparation days) the way the classic checkout already did; it only enforced the maximum booking window. Both are now enforced consistently on classic and block checkout.
- Fixed: the Time Slots and Pickup Locations tables could overflow and break the admin page layout on narrower screens; they now scroll neatly within their own bordered container instead.
- Improved the settings page design: refreshed the tab navigation with a cleaner look, better-balanced column widths in the Time Slots and Pickup Locations tables, and a trash icon for the row “Remove” action.
1.0.35
- Added a WordPress Playground blueprint so the plugin supports a “Live Preview” on its WordPress.org listing page (installs WooCommerce, activates the plugin, enables delivery and pickup, and adds a sample product so visitors can try the checkout flow immediately).
1.0.34
- Delivery/Pickup schedule fields now render natively inside the WooCommerce Checkout block’s “Additional order information” section, using the official Additional Checkout Fields API, instead of falling back to the classic checkout layout on block-based checkout pages.
- The classic-checkout fallback is now used only on older WooCommerce versions (before 8.9) that don’t support the Additional Checkout Fields API.
- Fixed an issue where an untouched, optional schedule field could block checkout with a confusing validation error on the block checkout.
- Removed unused legacy validation code from the checkout flow and de-duplicated repeated request-parsing logic.
- Completed uninstall cleanup: the calendar sync feed token option is now removed when the plugin is uninstalled.
- Verified compatibility with WooCommerce 11.0.2, including delivery-and-pickup checkout with both schedule types enabled.
- Internal: reorganized the settings code into smaller, tab-specific files for easier maintenance, with no change in behavior. Added automated tests and coding-standards tooling for future releases.
1.0.33
- Added a translation-ready
.potfile for the plugin’s own UI text. - Registered Delivery/Pickup labels and schedule headings for WPML String Translation and Polylang, so multilingual sites can translate them per language.
1.0.32
- Fixed Delivery Schedule field layout on the Cart page for block themes (e.g. Twenty Twenty-Five).
1.0.31
- Updated “Tested up to” compatibility header to WordPress 7.1.
1.0.30
- Added 8 plugin screenshots covering Delivery, Pickup, Time Slots, Holidays, Calendar Sync, Analytics, Exports, and Notifications tabs.
1.0.29
- Trimmed plugin tags to a shorter, already-recognized set so they display correctly on the plugin directory page.
1.0.28
- Renamed the plugin to “Delivery & Pickup Date Time Scheduler for WooCommerce” for clarity.
- Verified compatibility with WordPress 7.0.4 and WooCommerce 11.0.1.
- Updated “Tested up to” and “WC tested up to” compatibility headers.
- Added directory tags to improve plugin discoverability.
1.0.27
- Consolidated the recent approval-focused updates into one release.
- Reworked request readers and hardened admin, checkout, reschedule, AJAX, and dashboard filter handling.
- Improved deactivation feedback disclosure, neutral wording, and consent messaging.
- Added external service disclosure details for support email, deactivation feedback, and optional SMS gateway usage.
- Removed leftover pro/license compatibility files and aligned public release metadata.
- Replaced the remaining reviewer-sensitive request helper patterns with explicit nonce-validated field reads and removed the cart POST loop.
- Removed leftover internal pro/trial wording so the public plugin build stays fully neutral and directory-safe.
