It adds a delivery date picker to checkout so customers choose the day (and optionally time slot) they want their order to arrive. Store owners define which days are available, block holidays, set preparation time, and cap how many deliveries can be booked per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a free Lite plugin with a paid Pro upgrade ($119\/year, or $238 for two years). People land on this page for a fairly specific reason: they installed it expecting an automatic delivery <em>estimate<\/em>, and found a customer-facing date <em>picker<\/em> instead. Those solve different problems, and mixing them up is the single most common reason people go looking for an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picker vs. estimate \u2014 the distinction that actually matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Order Delivery Date <em>collects<\/em> a date from the customer: they see a calendar at checkout and choose when they want the order to arrive, within the windows you allow. QuickShipD <em>shows<\/em> a date: it calculates an estimate from your processing time and shipping method, and displays it \u2014 no customer input required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your store fulfills on a schedule the customer controls \u2014 local delivery slots, bakery pre-orders, furniture delivery windows \u2014 you want a picker. Tyche&#8217;s plugin is the mature, well-reviewed option for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your store ships on your own schedule and you just want customers to see an accurate &#8216;arrives by&#8217; date before they buy, a picker is more plugin than you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Order Delivery Date vs. QuickShipD, at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Plugin<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What it does<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pricing model<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Active installs<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce<\/strong> (Tyche)<\/td><td>Customer picks a delivery date\/slot at checkout<\/td><td>Free core, Pro from $119\/yr<\/td><td>10,000+<\/td><td>4.3 stars (61 reviews)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>QuickShipD<\/strong><\/td><td>Automatic delivery estimate, no customer input<\/td><td>Fully free, no paid tier<\/td><td>30+<\/td><td>5.0 stars (6 reviews)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">QuickShipD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full disclosure: this is our plugin, and against Tyche&#8217;s 10,000+ installs and six-figure review count, it has no track record to point to yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What it does have is a much narrower job: calculate an accurate delivery estimate from your processing time, cutoff, and excluded weekends and holidays, then show it automatically. No calendar UI, no per-day booking limits, nothing for the customer to configure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automatic delivery estimate on product, cart and checkout pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live order cutoff countdown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Per-product delivery day overrides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weekend exclusion plus recurring yearly holidays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully free, no license key, no Pro tier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What it doesn&#8217;t have: a customer-facing date picker, per-day delivery capacity limits, or time-slot booking. If customers need to choose when their order arrives, QuickShipD can&#8217;t do that job \u2014 Tyche&#8217;s plugin can, and its review count reflects a decade of stores relying on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose it if:<\/strong> you want an accurate delivery estimate shown automatically, not a booking calendar, and you&#8217;d rather not pay $119\/year for a feature you won&#8217;t use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/quickshipd\/\" style=\"background-color:#16a34a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get QuickShipD Now!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Order Delivery Date is still the right answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If customers need to actually choose their delivery day or time slot \u2014 local delivery, appointment-based fulfillment, capacity-limited daily bookings \u2014 that&#8217;s exactly what Tyche&#8217;s plugin is built for. Nothing in this comparison replaces it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10,000+ stores and 61 reviews at 4.3 stars is a real, earned track record. The Pro upgrade adds features like advanced booking rules and integrations that a picker use case genuinely needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which one should you pick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Customers need to choose their delivery date or time slot<\/strong> \u2192 Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce (Tyche).

If you need customers to choose a delivery date, Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce is built for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lite version is free on WordPress.org.
