Configuring Timepicker Fields in Custom Checkout Fields

The Timepicker field type in Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce lets customers choose a time at checkout, for example a preferred delivery or pickup time. This guide covers the Timepicker options and how they interact with the shared Input options.

Timepicker field options

Before you start #

  1. Go to WPFactory > Custom Checkout Fields (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Custom Checkout Fields).
  2. Open a field tab and set Type to Timepicker. The Timepicker Type Options group then applies.

Timepicker Type Options #

Label Option ID Default
Time format alg_wc_ccf_type_timepicker_format_1 hh:mm p
Interval (minutes) alg_wc_ccf_type_timepicker_interval_1 15
Min time alg_wc_ccf_type_timepicker_mintime_1 Empty
Max time alg_wc_ccf_type_timepicker_maxtime_1 Empty

Notes #

  • Time format uses the timepicker library’s tokens: hh:mm p gives a 12-hour clock with AM/PM, while HH:mm gives 24-hour. This is different from the time format used by the datepicker’s Timepicker addon.
  • Interval sets the step between selectable times. With 15, customers can pick 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, and so on.
  • Min time and Max time use HH:MM, for example 09:00 and 17:00, to limit the selectable window.

Input options and this field #

The shared Input Options group (Max length, Min value, Max value, Step) is aimed at Number and Range fields and does not apply to a timepicker. Two Input options are still useful here:

  • Autofocus (alg_wc_ccf_autofocus_1, default No): focus the field automatically when the page loads.
  • Autocomplete (alg_wc_ccf_autocomplete_1): a text field whose value becomes the input’s HTML autocomplete attribute. Enter off to switch browser autocomplete off; leave it blank otherwise. It is not an on/off checkbox.

Get more fields #

You can add one timepicker in the free version. Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce Pro lets you add up to 100 fields, so you can pair a date and a time field on the same checkout. Get Custom Checkout Fields Pro.
