In some cases, you may want to enforce a different cutoff time for certain products. For example, perishable or made-to-order products might require customers to book delivery slots earlier than usual.

WooCommerce Delivery Slots allows you to apply a global cutoff time, but with a small code snippet, you can override this setting for specific products in the cart.

This guide shows you how to set a custom cutoff time (in minutes) for selected product IDs.

Purpose of the snippet

This snippet checks the customer’s cart, and if any of the specified products are present, the plugin will automatically update the cutoff time to the value you define.

This is useful when:

• Certain items need more preparation time.
• You sell mixed products, but only some need an early cutoff.
• You want dynamic cutoff times without modifying global settings manually.

Code snippet

<?php
/**
 * Iconic WDS - Modify cutoff time for specific products.
 */
function iconic_modify_cutoff_time_for_specific_products() {

	// @todo Replace with your product ids and their respective cutoff times in minutes.
	$product_ids = array(
		// product id => cutoff time in minutes
		120 => '60',
		150 => '90',
	);

	global $iconic_wds;
	
	foreach ( $product_ids as $product_id => $cutoff_time ) {
		if ( iconic_is_product_in_cart( $product_id ) ) {
			$iconic_wds->settings['timesettings_timesettings_cutoff'] = intval( $cutoff_time );
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'iconic_modify_cutoff_time_for_specific_products', 11 );

Modify the code snippet where it says @todo. That’s where you have to replace the product ID’s array. The key of the array is the product ID, and the value of the array is the cutoff time in minutes.
