How it sells itself

Made for florists, bakeries, cake makers, gift shops and local food. A missing or impossible date means a failed delivery and an upset customer. Delivery Guard adds a date and time slot picker to your product page and cart, then checks the choice again at checkout, even with Buy it now. Set your open days, cutoffs, closed dates and slot limits once.

Whenly adds a date and time slot picker to the cart, cart drawer and product page. You set the delivery days, cut-off times, lead times, holidays and how many orders each day and slot can take; buyers only see what fits, and checkout validation stops orders without a valid date.

Key points
  • Calendar date and time slot picker on product pages, the cart and cart drawer
  • Checkout refuses closed, past, late and full dates, even with Buy it now
  • Holds orders with no date until the customer picks one after checkout
  • Slot limits with overbooking alerts, cutoffs, prep time and closed dates
  • Date and time slot picker in the cart, drawer and product page
  • Daily and per-slot capacity, cut-offs, lead times, holidays in 25 countries
  • Checkout validation: no order goes through without a valid date
  • Calendar, preparation list, route and driver lists, CSV and iCal
