On Pro, the cart can ask for a delivery date before checkout, from a calendar that only offers the days you deliver. The date arrives on the order, so you know when each one is due.

## Add a date question

1. On **Cart settings**, open **Delivery scheduling & order details**.
2. Turn on **Collect order details in the cart**.
3. Leave **Start the fields collapsed** off so the question shows as soon as the cart opens. On hides it behind a tap, which saves room but is easier to miss.

4. Select **Add a field**. Under **Type**, choose **Date**, and set **Question**, such as **Delivery date**. The question is also the name the answer appears under on the order.

## Set the days you deliver

1. Set **Earliest** in days from today. 0 allows same-day delivery.
2. Set **Latest** in days from today. 0 means no limit.

3. Under **Days you do not deliver**, tick the weekdays you are closed. Set **Message when one of those days is tapped**, or leave it blank for the default.

4. Set **Stop same-day orders after** to a time in your store's time zone. Past it, today drops out of the calendar.

## Add exceptions for particular dates

Under **Exceptions for particular dates**, write one date per line as `YYYY-MM-DD`, read in your store's time zone.

- **Dates you DO deliver**: opens a date your weekday rule closes, like a holiday Sunday.
- **Dates you do NOT deliver**: closes a date. Add `=` and your own words to show them for that date, as in `2026-12-25 = Closed for the holiday`.
- **Different cut-off on particular dates**: a cut-off just for that date, as in `2026-02-14 = 16:30`. Put a date before the time to close orders earlier, as in `2026-12-25 = 2026-12-23 17:00`.

## Finish the question

1. Set **Help text**, a line under the question, if you like.
2. Turn on **Required** if every order needs a date. Checkout is blocked until it is answered.

3. Select **Save**.

## What shoppers see

The calendar offers only the days you deliver. Tapping a closed day explains why, and choosing an open day fills the field:
