WooCommerce Checkout Date Time Picker - Intro

I respect your time. That's why I want to show you the final effect first. This way you'll be sure that this is what you are looking for.

I have a default styling of the checkout in my store (learn how you can set yours). I use the Storefront theme. So, my WooCommerce Checkout Date picker looks like this:

Of course, you can add more fields (like a time field) and rearrange them.

You can place a new field wherever you want in the WooCommerce checkout form!

Also, you can set this field as required if you need to. There are many more options such as conditional logic or custom validation as well. I'll tell you more about this later in this article.

Add a new checkout field (date picker)

So, let's see the select box of the new WooCommerce checkout field - let's call it the delivery date picker:

I didn't set any time range. However, it is possible, of course!

Below you can see the select box where I set the time range to:

• 7 days after

Take a look at the field with the maximum date range:

So, I hope this is what you're looking for! Consequently, I'll show you what plugin you need to configure to add such a delivery date field in your WooCommerce checkout.

How to add WooCommerce Checkout Date picker - Steps

1. First, buy and install the PRO version of the plugin.Buy the plugin →
2. Then, go to WooCommerce → Checkout Fields:
3. In addition, you can edit different sections here. By default, we will edit the Billing section. However, you can add WooCommerce Checkout Datepicker wherever you want.
   The Flexible Checkout Fields plugin lets you add custom fields to different sections of the checkout. You easily modify the Order, Shipping, or Billing section. Also, you can add fields before or after:

   • Customer Details
   • Billing Form
   • Shipping Form
   • Registration Form
   • Order Notes
   • Submit Button

   It may be the WooCommerce Checkout Datepicker but doesn't have to. As I said before, Flexible Checkout Fields lets you create 10 types of fields.

4. Select the Field Type, provide a Label and click the Add Field button.
5. After that, you can modify the settings of this new field. Look, you can set the time range here:
   There is a Validation option as you may see. Do you need to add custom validation to this WooCommerce Checkout Datepicker? Read our WooCommerce Checkout Custom Validation Guide →
6. Next option, the Appearance. You can set your own CSS class in the field. Style the WooCommerce delivery date field!
7. With the Display On option, you can set where to display the WooCommerce Checkout Datepicker. For example, you can set the plugin to display this field only in the checkout. This way user won't be able to change the value of this field in My Account.
8. The last option: Advanced. You can configure conditional logic here. I won't cover this topic in this article. If you need conditional logic for your fields, look up our Conditional Logic Guide →

That's it - we've just added the date picker to the WooCommerce checkout. Furthermore, remember you can add a time picker too!
