Everything you need to manage order dates

From simple store closures to complex per-product rules, Blackout Dates handles it all.

📅

Block dates store-wide

Mark specific dates or whole days of the week as unavailable — bank holidays, your days off, a break period. One setting, every product in your store.

🚚

Collection, delivery, or postal

Let customers choose how they receive their order — collect from your shop, get it delivered locally, or have it posted. Each option runs on its own set of open days, and you can limit certain products to one method only.

🎯

Checkout matches the chosen method

When a customer picks Collection on the cart, checkout only offers pickup. Local delivery and postal are hidden until they're the chosen method. No more accidental postage charges on a collection order, or pickup selected on a cart meant to be delivered — the checkout honours the date-picker choice automatically.

Lead time & order cut-off

Set a minimum preparation window so customers can never pick a date that's too soon. Add a daily cut-off time (e.g. 2 PM) and anything ordered after that is pushed to the next available day automatically.

🎁

Per-product date rules

Give individual products their own schedule. A Valentine's bundle available only on 14 February. Saturday-collection products available only on Saturdays. Full flexibility.
