PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding a calendar to WooCommerce Checkout may cause unexpected errors and may not work as intended. Use at your own risk.

Adding a calendar to your WooCommerce checkout can be a great way to increase customer satisfaction and reduce abandoned carts. By allowing customers to select their delivery date at checkout, you can provide a better shopping experience and ensure that orders are delivered on time.

There are a few different ways to add a calendar to your WooCommerce checkout. One option is to use a plugin like WooCommerce Delivery Date. This plugin allows you to add a delivery date field to your checkout page and manage orders by delivery date.

Another option is to use a WooCommerce extension like Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce. This extension adds a delivery date field to your checkout page and allows customers to select their delivery date. The extension also includes features like order tracking, delivery notifications, and more.

If you want to add a calendar to your WooCommerce checkout without using a plugin or extension, you can do so by adding a bit of code to your theme’s functions.php file. First, you’ll need to install the jQuery UI Datepicker widget on your website. Then, you can add the following code to your functions.php file:

function WooCommerce_checkout_calendar()
{wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-datepicker' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'jquery-ui', "//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css", array(), '1.1' );?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{jQuery('#delivery_date').datepicker({dateFormat : 'yy-mm-dd'});});
</script>
<?php }
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'woocommerce_checkout_calendar', 10 );?>

You can also style the text in your article using HTML tags.
