FAQ
Short answers about capacity, optional dates, pickups, fees, translations and your data.
Can customers skip the date?
Only if you untick Required in the Delivery schedule section. Then the date is optional.
Can I offer dates without time slots?
Yes. Remove every row from the time slots table and save: customers choose a date only. Orders per day still limits each date.
Do cancelled orders keep their place?
No. Cancelled, failed and refunded orders free their place straight away. Pending, processing, on-hold and completed orders keep it.
Can I book a full slot for a customer myself?
Yes, on the order screen. It lets you choose any date and slot; only customers at checkout are held to the schedule.
Can pickups have dates too?
Not in Slotline: local pickups aren't asked for a date. Slotline Pro adds a pickup schedule of its own, with or without time slots.
Can I charge more for evening or weekend slots?
Not in Slotline. Slotline Pro adds a fee per slot, shown at checkout and added to the order.
Does it work with HPOS and the Checkout block?
Yes, with both of WooCommerce's order storages and both checkouts.
Can I translate Slotline?
Yes, on translate.wordpress.org. WordPress downloads the translations for your site's language automatically. The template is also included as languages/slotline.pot for tools such as Loco Translate.
What happens to my data if I delete Slotline?
When you click Deactivate, Slotline asks what should happen to its data if you then delete it. Keep it (the default) leaves your schedule and the dates on orders in place for a reinstall. Delete it permanently removes them when you delete the plugin. Your orders themselves are never deleted, and Slotline Pro's settings are left to Slotline Pro.
