Edit an order delivery date in WooCommerce

Updated September 20, 2026

Edit order delivery date lets you correct or add the delivery promise saved against an individual WooCommerce order. This is useful when a customer needs a revised date, or when an older order was placed before Delivery Dates could save an estimate.

Edit order delivery date in WooCommerce#

1. Open WooCommerce > Orders and select the order.
2. Find the Estimated delivery card in the order details area.
3. For an order with one delivery date, enter the revised value in Delivery date.
4. For an order with a saved delivery range, edit the From date and To date values.
5. Optionally add a reason for the order notes and select Email the customer about this change.
6. Update the order as normal.

Single-date orders keep a compact one-field editor. Delivery ranges retain two fields so their original promise remains clear. If no estimate was captured when an order was placed, entering a valid delivery date creates a saved order estimate without recalculating the historic order.

What the customer sees#

The revised saved message is used on enabled order-received, account and email surfaces. It remains an historical record for that order and does not change when you later alter store rules, holidays or global wording.

If the customer email is not sent#

• Confirm Include estimated delivery in emails is enabled.
• Confirm the relevant WooCommerce email type is selected.
• When editing the order, select Email the customer about this change to send the dedicated delivery-update email.
• Check WooCommerce email settings and your mail-delivery logs if the email is queued but not received.
