The shortcode [alg_wc_ccf_datetime ] for the “Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce” plugin, 

Understanding [alg_wc_ccf_datetime ]

  • Plugin: This shortcode is associated with the “Custom Checkout Fields for WooCommerce” plugin.
  • Functionality: This shortcode most likely creates a DateTime field on your WooCommerce checkout page. A DateTime field allows customers to select both a date and a time.

Using the Shortcode

Placement

    • The shortcode should be placed within the template files that control your WooCommerce checkout page. Common locations include:
      • woocommerce/checkout/form.php (entire checkout form)
      • Specific sections like woocommerce/checkout/billing.php (billing area) or woocommerce/checkout/shipping.php (shipping area)

Configuration (Optional)

    • The plugin might allow you to configure the DateTime field through its settings or within the shortcode itself (e.g., [alg_wc_ccf_datetime label=“Preferred Delivery Date & Time”]). Refer to the plugin’s documentation for details on available configuration options, such as,
      • Label (text displayed next to the field)
      • Placeholder text (hint for the customer)
      • Required (whether customers must fill in this field)
      • Date format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY)
      • Time format (e.g., 12-hour or 24-hour format)
      • Minimum/maximum date or time restrictions (if applicable)

Additional Considerations

  • Plugin Documentation: For specific usage instructions and configuration options, it’s essential to refer to the plugin’s official documentation or contact the plugin developer.
  • Conditional Logic: The plugin might offer conditional logic, allowing you to show or hide the DateTime field based on other customer selections during checkout.
  • Order Data: The information collected through the DateTime field will be stored with your WooCommerce order information and accessible through order details in the WordPress dashboard.
