Arrival for Woo

Every shopper asks the same question: when will it get here? Arrival reads your shipping zones, schedules and order cutoffs, then answers that question everywhere it matters — product page, cart, checkout — the way a board announces flights: a date, a time, a countdown. No guessing before the buy button. Fewer "do you deliver to…" emails. Fewer abandoned carts. What the board shows

• A real delivery date — "Get it by Wed 22 Jul", calculated from your zones, schedule and cutoffs, shown on product pages, cart and checkout.
• An order-cutoff countdown — "Order within 2 h 14 m" states the deadline as a fact, so urgency never has to shout.
• Postcode-aware answers — shoppers enter their postcode once and see the methods, prices and dates that actually apply to them.
• Free-shipping progress — "Add $7.20 more to unlock free delivery" builds baskets with information, not persuasion.
• Cache-compatible behaviour — dynamic postcode and date messaging designed for real WooCommerce environments with page caching.

Why store owners install it Clarity converts. When the answer to "when will it arrive?" is on the page, shoppers don't leave to ask it by email — or leave for a store that answers it. Arrival exists to raise conversion, cut cart abandonment, and shrink your support inbox by moving fulfilment answers in front of the buy button. Bricks Builder dynamic tags

• {delivery_date} — calculated delivery date
• {delivery_date:X} — delivery date with additional days
• {delivery_location} — postcode display or entry prompt
• {delivery_cutoff} — order cutoff countdown
• {postcode_display} — plain-text postcode display
• {order_delivery} — the estimate saved against a placed order (also {order_delivery:range} and {order_delivery:both})
• {delivery_hours} / {pickup_hours} — opening hours for that channel

Arrival Pro — know when to arrive Delivery tells shoppers when it lands. Pickup tells them when to arrive — and that's what Arrival Pro adds:

• Pickup readiness — "Ready from 16:40 · Open until 17:30", aware of your store's opening days and hours, so the trip is never a guess.
• Unlimited pickup locations — multi-branch and multi-yard support.
• Holidays — one-off closures the board respects automatically.
• Recurring holidays — set Christmas once, forget it forever.
• Custom styling — brand colours and CSS variables to match your storefront.
• Google Places — address-assisted location entry.

Arrival Pro is sold separately at embark.studio. Everything described above the Pro section works in this free plugin, forever.

1.1.0 - 2026-08-21 New

• Opening hours can now be set per delivery method. A next-day service and a weekly run no longer have to share one cut-off, so each one tells customers the truth about when it dispatches.
• Where the order is going and who paid for it, and the service the order is on, are now available for your order confirmation page — as elements for Bricks, and as shortcodes for anywhere else.
• New values you can drop into your own wording: the customer's name, the delivery or billing address, and the fulfilment method.
• The opening-hours output is now placeable in Bricks as well as by shortcode, with an option to open it in a pop-up rather than sitting on the page.

Improved

• The "order within" countdown now changes as the cut-off gets closer, so a customer with ten minutes left sees something different from one with six hours.

Fixed

• Cart and checkout could take many seconds to load on stores that ship to a single country. The plugin was re-checking your shipping zone setup hundreds of times on every page load instead of once; it now works it out once and remembers the answer until you change your zones. Stores that ship to several countries were never affected.
• A number of smaller corrections to the opening-hours output.

1.0.3 - 2026-08-20 Fixed

• The settings screen no longer cuts content off. The panel had been scrolling inside the page instead of with it, which left blank space below the shorter screens and put anything past the fold — the Save button included — behind a second scrollbar that was easy to miss.

Improved

• The [arwoo_service_hours] shortcode is now listed under Documentation. It has worked since 1.0.2, but there was no way to find it without being told it existed.
• Shorter, plainer help text under the settings fields.

1.0.2 - 2026-08-19 New

• The delivery estimate now appears on the order summary — thank-you page, the customer's account order page, and order emails. It is saved with the order too, so packing slips, dispatch labels and exports can print it. Put it anywhere else with the new [arwoo_order_delivery] shortcode or Bricks tag.
• A new After-order message under Arrival > Delivery tells customers what happens next — "we will call to confirm your slot" — on the confirmation page, in their account and in the order email. Web and email addresses in it become links, so you can send people straight to your contact form.
• Opening hours can now be shown anywhere, with the new [arwoo_service_hours] shortcode or Bricks tag. Consecutive days are grouped for you, so seven rows read as "Monday to Friday 07:30–16:30, Saturday 08:00–15:00 and Sunday 09:30–13:00". Write {hours} in your after-order message and they appear there too — and stay right when you change them.
• On an order being collected, the estimate is headed with your own word for collection — "Ready for Pickup", or "Ready for Click & Collect" if that is what you call it — instead of "Estimated delivery".

Fixed

• A cancelled, failed or refunded order no longer shows the after-order message telling the customer their order is on its way.
• General fixes and polish: a same-day estimate no longer reads as a span from a date to itself, the after-order message keeps the paragraphs you type and is set apart so it reads as guidance rather than stray text, and long messages sit correctly on themes with their own spacing rules.

1.0.1 - 2026-08-17 Improved

• Deleting the plugin now keeps your settings. If you do want everything removed, there is a new option under Arrival > Debug — it is off by default, so deleting to reinstall, or moving between the free and Pro editions, no longer loses your setup.
