## Notes

* The daily order deadline is interpreted in the server's PHP timezone. Make sure the server time is configured correctly.
* In the **Earliest date**, **Latest date**, and **Date range** modes, the product's Shopware delivery time is used. Products without an assigned delivery time automatically fall back to the configured shipping days.
* The plugin is configurable per sales channel. Settings apply to all sales channels by default but can be overridden per channel.
