PluginCity Order Cutoff Time for WooCommerce shows customers a live countdown to your daily order cut-off, so they know how long they have left to order for same-day dispatch. Once the cut-off has passed, the message gives the next dispatch day instead, or says the shop is temporarily closed. It all follows your shop’s weekly schedule.
The plugin is informational. It does not stop customers checking out or interfere with payment buttons. Your shop keeps control of its orders while customers get the timing information they need.
The free version is permanent, needs no licence key, and never contacts PluginCity.
