Delivery Window Desk — concept preview of the proposed WordPress plugin

The problem

Checkout promises a date the warehouse cannot honor, because lead times, cutoffs, and holidays live in someone's head instead of the order.

Who this WordPress plugin is for

WooCommerce stores that deliver on a chosen day: bakeries, florists, furniture, and local couriers.

Delivery Window Desk is a proposed WordPress plugin for stores that let shoppers choose a delivery day.

It blocks dates the warehouse cannot fulfill — after the daily cutoff, on holidays, or when a category needs extra lead time — and stores the chosen day on the order. The first release is a date promise, not a routing or carrier product.

Proposed plugin features

What this WordPress plugin would include in an initial release.

  • Cutoff and holiday calendar

    Same-day orders stop at a cutoff you set, and holidays are closed on the picker before the shopper can select them.

  • Lead time by category

    A cake can require three days while a greeting card stays next-day, based on the categories in the cart.

  • Capacity per day

    Each date shows remaining slots. A full day disappears from checkout instead of becoming an overbooked route.

Not in the first release

Kept out of scope on purpose, so the first version ships small and focused.

  • Carrier rate shopping
  • Route optimization
  • Subscription renewal calendars
