Description

1045AM Checkout Slot Scheduler for WooCommerce adds a focused delivery and pickup scheduling flow to WooCommerce Blocks checkout.

The plugin lets store owners configure separate availability rules for delivery and pickup, including active weekdays, Saturday and Sunday overrides, start and end times, same-day order cutoff times, and different slot durations for delivery and pickup.

It is designed for stores that need a simple checkout date and time selector without replacing WooCommerce shipping logic. Shipping methods, pickup methods, prices, coupons, and locations remain managed by WooCommerce and compatible shipping plugins.
