Block Dates & Prevent Failed Deliveries
Customers see only available delivery dates at checkout with blocked dates hidden automatically.
Your warehouse closes Christmas week. Your kitchen doesn't bake on Sundays. Your courier doesn't deliver on UK bank holidays. Shopify still shows these dates as available delivery options. Customers choose blocked dates. orders arrive late or not at all. and support teams scramble to reschedule. Blackout calendars prevent orders on unavailable dates before checkout. eliminating the problem entirely.
