Hi, I need to be able to go in on an ad hoc basis and grey out dates my customers won’t be able to get a delivery. I also need to be able to start the date selection options a minimum of 48 hours from the day a customer places their order as that’s how long it takes me before I can ship. I’ve had a quote of $900usd through ‘hire a partner’ to do this which seems very high to me. Is this sort of thing not standard when you have a date picker like being able to block out dates when an online store is closed? I’d love to know if anyone has done this so I can have a go at the code myself as I am a new business and don’t have $900 going spare. Thanks.

yes this is usual for wix, unfortunately. simple request, complicated solution; I needed to set their countdown timer based on a future date from a database row. I had to build my own timer and message function to accommadate ( 15 minute job in a normal dev environment, 2 hour job in wix!!)
however i will say $900 is a little steep but i have not seen your set up;
you would need a custom database to hold your non dates, likely a custom element or html frame on page and a calendar plugin of some sort to go inside; most javascript involved plugins, like jquerys one, have an option to provide an array of dates not available;
Thanks for the reply - a few things have popped up lately that just seem awkward for e commerce and I’m only a small company with basic needs. Wondering if I should transfer to Shopify?? I’m going to have to find someone to do that for me I think on Wix as I don’t have the know how but I’d need to learn how to update the dates as can’t pay someone each time I need to change something.
Same here, I was quite vocal on here about some basic issues, like not being able to turn off quantity changes for custom items. To be fair some of the wix devs contacted me and helped resolve some issues; not that that helps yourself;
I haven’t used Shopify myself as I build my own e-shops etc, only on here as a client was already invested in wix;
I also haven’t used it, but have you looked into combining the wix store with wix bookings?
Updating the dates would be simple (depending on developer building it) after it was built/setup. you would Just have a duplicate [admin accessed] calendar that writes the dates selected to the database rather than reading them;
Also just found this: https://support.wix.com/en/article/velo-tutorial-creating-a-bookings-timetable
any help?

Thanks. I don’t even need to go as far as selecting a pickup time I just want customers to be able to choose a delivery date but I don’t want the options for delivery to start until 48 hours after they place the order and I need to be able to grey out dates that aren’t available for delivery other than just the auto days per week the template lets you select.
