Prestashop Marketplace Delivery Time Slot module will offer your customers to choose a preferred delivery slot.

The functionality to choose a preferred delivery time slot is very useful. It allows the customer to get the product at their convenient date & time.

This way, a shop owner also doesn’t face any problem as he/she can easily perform the actions to deliver the product at the customer’s preferred time.

Delivery Time Slot Settings

Time Slot

Time Slot: On enabling this option, your customers will get an option to choose the preferred time slot for the delivery.
Minimum Time Gap: Enter the time gap that you want your customers to choose between the time slot.

For example: If you keep the minimum time gap as 20. Then, your customers must select a time slot that has a gap of 20 or more than 20 minutes.

Say a customer selects a time slot of 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Then, it’d be okay as the time slot contains more than 20 minutes gap.

Whereas, if a customer tries to select the time slot as 10:00 AM to 10:19 AM. Then, in this a case, a customer will see an error message.

Day Slot & Date Slot

Day Slot: Enable this option to let your customer select a day as the preferred delivery slot.
Date Slot: This option will allow your customers to select a date as the preferred delivery slot.
Minimum Time Lead: Enter the minimum time lead in days. The minimum time lead ensures that a customer can choose a delivery date after the minimum time lead only.

Let me just explain with an example to make it clearer.

Say you keep the minimum time lead as 5 days. Now, a customer begins to select a preferred delivery date on the checkout page.

Now, what they will observe? They will observe that they can only select that delivery date which is 5 days after today.

For example: Say, today is 16th August. Now on the checkout page, your customers would only be able to select a delivery date as 21st August or any date after that.

Note: You can either enable the date slot or day slot. Both of them can not remain active at the same time.

Various cases arise by enabling or disabling options of the configuration settings. To have a look at all those cases, please view the user guide of the module.
