Barn2 WooCommerce Lead Time

Description

WooCommerce Lead Time displays estimated production or shipping times on each product in your WooCommerce store, showing the time required before dispatch on the product page, cart, checkout, and order emails. The extension serves merchants who work with made-to-order items, custom pieces, handmade production, or variable inventory, allowing you to set lead times per product, per category, or globally across the store with just a few clicks.

Key Features

• Per-product lead time field: adds a dedicated field on the product edit screen to enter the production or dispatch time in days, weeks, or months.
• Category and global default lead times: sets lead time at the category level or a default value for the entire store, with automatic inheritance when the product has no value of its own.
• Display at key funnel points: shows the lead time on the product page, the shop listing, the cart, the checkout, and the transactional emails sent to the customer.
• Customizable text and formatting: adjusts the text that accompanies the lead time, along with the display color and style, to align communication with the store’s identity.
• Stock-based conditional logic: applies different rules for in-stock, made-to-order, or out-of-stock products, avoiding conflicting information in the storefront.

Benefits of WooCommerce Lead Time

• Aligned expectations before purchase: the customer knows how long the order takes to ship, reducing pre-sales doubts and post-purchase complaints.
• Fewer cancellations and chargebacks: making the lead time clear at checkout reduces orders canceled due to mismatched delivery information.
• Fast setup at scale: using default and category lead times avoids filling in each product individually in large catalogs.
• Consistent communication across all touchpoints: the same information appears from the storefront to the confirmation email, with no rework in other channels.

Who Is It For?

• WooCommerce stores that sell made-to-order, custom, or handcrafted items.
• Businesses with in-house production, woodworking, jewelry, apparel, printing, or custom furniture.
• Merchants who need to communicate different lead times per product or category without installing a complex inventory management layer.

Recommended for WooCommerce operations where predictable production or dispatch times are part of the sales agreement with the consumer.
