Description
BrandBees Delivery Scheduling for WooCommerce allows you to create and manage delivery time slots for your WooCommerce store. Perfect for restaurants, grocery stores, florists, and any business that needs to schedule deliveries or pickups.
With BrandBees you can offer a modern, guided delivery experience at checkout that matches how your operations really work. Instead of a simple “notes” field, customers choose a clear delivery date and time window based on the rules you configure, so you stay in control of capacity while still giving customers flexibility.
Store owners can define which days of the week are available, what pickup or delivery windows are offered, and how many orders can be accepted in each slot. The plugin automatically hides fully-booked or unavailable options, preventing overbooking and last‑minute rushes for your team.
Because both delivery and pickup are supported, BrandBees works equally well for local delivery businesses (restaurants, grocery, florists, furniture) and stores where customers collect their orders. Preparation time, cutoff times, and holiday rules ensure that only realistic, operationally-safe dates and times are shown to the customer.
The plugin integrates deeply with WooCommerce: selected delivery details appear on the checkout page, in the order thank‑you page, inside customer and admin emails, and in the WooCommerce order admin view. This keeps your fulfillment and support teams aligned on what the customer actually requested, without needing extra plugins or manual spreadsheets.
