WooCommerce Rest API & Delivery Dates #265

Open Malcolm-K-S opened 3 years ago

Malcolm-K-S commented 3 years ago

Current situation:

  1. I have a WordPress site running WooCommerce.
  2. A fulfilment company collects new orders (using the API) every 30 minutes and will then pick and package the order and send it to the customer.
  3. The fulfilment company have a simple interface that collects all new orders and then processes them for next day delivery.

The Problem:

  1. There is a need for customers to enter their required delivery date.
  2. The fulfilment company say they have no mechanism to put orders 'on-hold' until the delivery date. Also, I don't believe that the standard Rest API includes a delivery date.
  3. The fulfilment company say that the management of orders needs to happen at my end and that I should only release orders to them that require immediate fulfilment.

I cannot find a way of doing this. Has anybody got any ideas?

Your help would be appreciated.
