WooCommerce, for makers
Stop promising delivery dates
you cannot hold.
If you make your products by hand, a fixed ships in 5 days breaks the moment orders pile up. CraftDate computes the next honest shipping date from your real production capacity, and shows how many slots are left for that day.
Your queue is the truth
You tell CraftDate how many orders you can produce per day. The date shown is the first day that still has room, not a number you picked once and forgot.
Scarcity that is real
The counter shows the slots actually left for that day. It creates urgency because it is true, not because it resets every night.
The date follows the order
Once paid, the date is locked onto the order. The customer keeps the day they were promised, and you can read it from any template, invoice or email.
Set it once, in plain language
Preparation delay, daily quota, the categories you make to order. No HTML needed for your messages: buttons insert the date and the counter, and a live preview shows exactly what the customer will read.
Pro
Emails that carry the date
Order confirmation, a reminder before the production day, failed order recovery and a post-delivery follow up. Branded with your colors and your logo, sent from your own site. No marketing suite to subscribe to.

Questions
How is this different from a delivery date plugin?+
Most plugins display a fixed promise: ships in 5 days. CraftDate computes the date from the orders already in your queue. When a day is full, the date rolls over on its own. You never promise a day you cannot hold.
Does it work with my theme?+
Yes. Four standard positions cover most themes. If yours ignores them, the message falls back just above the add to cart button. You can also place a shortcode anywhere, or name your theme's own hook.
Does it support High Performance Order Storage?+
Yes, and it checks at runtime which order query form your install actually honours, rather than assuming one.
Does the plugin send data anywhere?+
No. CraftDate makes no external HTTP request. Everything is computed on your own site, which keeps your GDPR record simple.
What happens when my licence expires?+
Nothing breaks. Your shop keeps every feature it had, exactly as configured. You stop receiving updates and support until you renew. We will not take a live shop down over a lapsed subscription.
