I am looking for another options for my "delivery date" options on my site. As mentioned in my earlier post, I am using a jquery datepicker that displays on the product page ( via attribute text option). However, the whole cut-off time is driving me nuts. I can t figure out how to have it works on my time zone as opposed to local time. I am PST time and my cut off is 1 PM but if someone try to order from Europe or else, the date options changes based on their local time.

Back to this plugin, can it be displayed on product page instead of checkout? Can a cut-off time be specified that would work on my local time as opposed to user?

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you

My changes are working great for me, but I don't take time into account. Yes, thanks to the international date line I've had people in the US order things for "yesterday", but I take no shame in being unable to provide the impossible. People need to use common sense.

That said, I do believe it is possible to pass the timezone to the datepicker

Thanks for sharing the link. I did came across it while looking. I don t know anything about code so it got even more confused.

I did look at an option of using moment to specify a time zone based on the following post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...er-cutoff-time

I tried with a sample product but it is hard to tell if it works while trying to spoof my IP to a different location.

My issue is the opposite of yours. :-(

For example:

I am on PST time (California) and my cut-off is 1 PM for same day delivery.

Someone in New York ( EST time) want to place an order for delivery. However, they can t pick today because it is 2 PM for them but it is only 11 AM my time ( store location). It getsmore problematic for Canada, Europe....

I understand potential customer could still call to place their order but in today's world, it is all online.

To my other question,

Is there away to have the calendar display on product_info page? instead of the checkout page.

Thank you

I'm not aware of any plugins that do this.

A simple way to do this though would be to add an Option Name to your products of 'Delivery Date'. It would simply be free form text where a requested delivery date can be entered. Obviously there's no verification though.

One solution might be to add an Option Name type of 'date' to Option Name Manager. And then you insert your datepicker code when it comes up - this would eliminate the need to add a date field to relevant Product tables.
