Now when you are familiar with the most important features of the Wyomind Estimated Delivery Date Magento 2 module, we can proceed to is backend section.

Backend

Let’s start our backend exploration with the configuration page which is traditionally available under Stores -> Settings -> Configuration. Next, go to Wyomind -> Estimated Delivery Date. Here are 10 sections of settings: License, Global settings, Estimated Delivery Date Message, Default settings for in stock products, Default settings for out of stock products, Lead time based on attributes, Lead time based on custom options, Countdown, Estimated Delivery Date Preview, Leadtime by shipping method and shipping rate codes. As you can see, all the aforementioned features have their individual sections with settings.

The license section displays the current extension version in the following way:

In ‘Global settings’, you can turn on the delivery date Magento 2 module, enable debugging, select store opening days, specify store days off, and create date format. Note that is your store is closed orders are handled the day after.

As for the aforementioned date format, it will be used in messages and emails. There is a grid that fully describes characters recognized in the date format in this section:

In ‘Estimated Delivery Date Message’, specify a text you want to show to your customers informing them about the estimated delivery date. Note that it is possible to use variables here. The message is displayed in cart, transaction emails, and customer account by default. Besides, you can enable it at the top of the cart and on the checkout page.

Now, let’s see what happens in ‘Default settings for in stock products’. First of all, you can specify default lead time in days. If it is a range, use hyphen: 1-2 – from 1 to 2 days. Next, choose the last shipping time of the day. After that time orders are handled on the following day. Besides, it is necessary to specify shipping days – days when carriers work.

And don’t forget about shipping days off – days when carriers don’t work. Next, enable a message on the product pages to let your store visitors know when the product could be delivered. Specify the message using variables.

Besides, you can create a message for each item in a cart. Set ‘Display a message foreach item in cart’ to ‘Yes’ and type variables-based text in ‘Message foreach item in cart’. The same option can be activated for each item in a transactional email.

The same options are available in ‘Default settings for out of stock products’. Thus, you can create absolutely different configurations for in stock and out of stock products.

To manage lead time based on attributes, select attribute(s) to use for additional lead time and choose the scope of the additional lead time:

• In stock and out of stock products;
• In stock products;
• Out of stock products.

In ‘Lead time based on custom options’, select the desired calculation method: ‘highest custom option’s leadtime’ or ‘sum of all custom option’s lead time’.

In ‘Countdown’ select the countdown format. It can display only days or a more precise data up to seconds. Besides, it is possible to show it in real time.

In ‘Estimated Delivery Date Preview’, the Magento 2 delivery extension by Wyomind allows to type a product SKU to get the preview:

In ‘Leadtime by shipping method and shipping rate codes’, select a shipping method, click ‘Add a new method’, and then specify lead time and type a message for the selected shipping method.

Now, go to Products -> Inventory -> Catalog. Here, choose a product and click ‘Edit’. Scroll down the page until you see the ‘Estimated Delivery Date for In Stock’ section. Specify individual delivery date for the selected product if it is in stock.

The next section is designed for out of stock conditions. The only major difference is the ‘Back in Stock’ field. The Wyomind Estimated Delivery Date Magento 2 extension allows to specify individual date when the product will return to stock.

That’s all about the admin interface of the Wyomind Magento 2 Estimated Delivery Date module, so let’s proceed to the frontend section.
