Business value

It's a common practice in some businesses to order products in advance to ensure they have adequate stock when needed. For example, a hardware store that sells Christmas trees starting the month of December usually places the order for the trees several months in advance to ensure they have enough inventory for Christmas. This feature will enable customers to specify the desired delivery date and include order notes.

Feature details

This feature enables businesses to select the desired delivery method and date for an order so that they can place future orders using Commerce and not have to resort to non-digital means to place the order. This functionality will be available on an opt-in basis so that businesses can enable it on selected websites.
