Order Shipping Notifications for clients
Clients will be able to view the estimated arrival time for product orders in their shopping cart and confirmation email. To prevent any uncertainty with deliveries, if your client chooses a product that won’t be delivered in time for Christmas, a checkbox will appear in their cart to verify that they understand and accept that their order will not arrive before December 24th. They will be able to place their order only after they check this box.
