Proposal: show Delivery datepicker values on Shopping Cart page

Squarespace Datepicker is a versatile plugin that integrates a date picker into Squarespace forms, including Custom Product forms. This allows users to easily select dates via a calendar UI, minimizing errors and facilitating better communication with shop owners. This post outlines a proposal to display the selected datepicker values on Shopping cart page line items, enhancing the shopping experience.

Why Do We Need a Date Value on Each Line Item?

Displaying date values on cart page line items is essential for several reasons:

  • Clarity: Provides clear information about selected delivery or event dates for each product.

  • Convenience: Allows customers to verify and adjust their selected dates if needed.
