Order Hours

Description

The Order Hours module allows the store owner to display time and message to customers for getting any promotional offer or displaying shipping cut-off notices.

For example, if the business provides next-day delivery to a customer if the order has been placed before 11 am, with the module's help, you can configure and show messages like "Order before 11 am to get next-day delivery".

Admin Configuration

When the module is installed and enabled, a new Widget Type appears " Order in the next X hours."

Path: Admin > Content > Widget > Create new Widget

Select the Design theme and click on the continue button. Here, you will need to enter Widget Title, Select the store view and then select the Layout. You will need to choose Layout according to the position/place where you want the message to appear on the front end. Here in the below image, we have selected that the message will appear on all product pages after the header.

This is similar to how you set up the widget. If you are unsure about setting up a widget and need more information, here is the guide that you can check.

In the Widget Options tab, you will need to configure the given options, and the message will appear on the front end based on the configuration.

• Cut-off time = Select the time when the promotion/discount expires. This is the server time.
• Active days = Select the days when the promotion/discount is enabled.
• Message Text (Today) = During the cut-off time, the message defined in this field will appear on the front end.
• Message Text (Future) = When the cut-off time has passed the current time, the message defined in this field will appear on the front end.

Time variable

The {{time}} variable is used to display the remaining hours/time to the user based on the cut-off time configured in the widget and server time.

Time variable use in admin message	Front-end

The message on the front end shows "next 4 hours 27 minutes" & "next Sunday at 06:00" because of the time variable.

Different ways to use the module.

Display messages anywhere on the website.

The module uses Widget functionality. With the help of Widget Layout options, you can display the message anywhere on the website. As per the below example, the messages have been shown on the category page and product detail page.

Display Layout	Front-end

Similarly, you can use your desired layout position to display the message available in the widget configuration.

Ability to show different messages on same page

You can create multiple widgets and show them on the same page. Below is an example where two different messages appear on the product page.

Include widget using PageBuilder

As the module extends the Widget options, the functionality can be used, and the promotional message can be displayed using the PageBuilder element. PageBuilder HTML code element provides functionality to add widget. The promotional message can be added directly to the specific product, category, or CMS page using the widget.

Here is an example that shows the use of Pagebuilder widget functionality to display a message on the category page.
