# DingDoong FAQ: frequently asked questions

# DingDoong FAQ: frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions merchants ask us most, with links to the full guides.



## Setup & compatibility

### Does DingDoong work with my theme?

Yes — DingDoong is designed to work with all Shopify themes. Most work out of the box; some custom themes need a small free adjustment from our team. See [Ensuring App Compatibility with Your Theme](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/ensuring-app-compatibility-with-your-theme-ci7r7o/).

### Where can the date picker appear?

Product page, cart page, cart drawer, or checkout. The cart page is the most popular position. See [Where can you display date picker?](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/where-can-you-display-date-picker-lhbf39/)

### Can I test without affecting my live store?

Yes — duplicate your theme and test there. See [How to create a test theme](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-create-a-test-theme-1n949f1/) and [How to place an order test](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-place-an-order-test-rjbxys/).

### Does the widget slow down my store?

No. The widget script loads asynchronously through Shopify's app embed system and only on pages where it's displayed.



## Delivery methods & scheduling

### Can I offer different schedules for different products?

Yes — use [Product availability](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/product-availability-1adob22/) to scope each method, and [override rules](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-override-schedule-for-exception-products-ubnc4f/) for exception products.

### Can I limit how many orders I take per day or per time slot?

Yes. See [How to limit orders](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-limit-orders-xiw9n0/). When a day or slot reaches its limit, customers can no longer select it.

### Can I block holidays?

Yes — add [blackout dates](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-block-dates-from-calendar-jh27z7/) per method. For extra working days outside your normal schedule, use [exception dates](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/add-exception-date-bmkxlb/).

### Can I charge extra for specific days or time slots?

Yes — see [Add surcharge per day](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/add-surcharge-per-day-1kpof9i/) and [Add surcharge per timeslot](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/add-surcharge-per-timeslot-oohn4a/).

### Does DingDoong create shipping rates?

You can manage rates with DingDoong's [Rates](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/rates-ola4f4/) feature, or keep using [Shopify native rates](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-creat-delivery-rates-cm6j4z/). We recommend managing rates in DingDoong for the smoothest checkout.



## Orders & customers

### What happens if a customer checks out without picking a date?

Two options: make the date [required before checkout](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-require-date-before-checkout-or-add-to-cart-kj2bc1/), or enable Auto-Recovery so DingDoong automatically emails the customer to pick a date afterwards — see [Auto-Recovery: Automatically recover orders with missing delivery dates](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/auto-recovery-automatically-recover-orders-with-missing-delivery-dates-uyiedo/)

### Can customers change their delivery date after ordering?

Yes — add the reschedule date picker to your order status page, and customers can pick a new date themselves. Confirmation emails are sent to both the customer and your staff. See [Let customers reschedule their delivery date from the order status page](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/let-customers-reschedule-their-delivery-date-from-the-order-status-page-a0zmau/)*(Widget Appearance & Placement)*.

### Where do I see all scheduled orders?

In the **Order report** — sync, filter, update statuses (ready for pickup, out for delivery…) and export CSV. See [How to sync Shopify orders for report in DingDoong](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-sync-shopify-orders-for-report-in-dingdoong-o68oem/).

### Does the selected date appear in the order confirmation email?

Yes, with a small snippet added to your Shopify notification template. See [How to confirm selected schedule in order confirmation email](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-confirm-selected-schedule-in-order-confirmation-email-phdc64/).



## Languages & display

### Can the date picker display in my language?

Yes — translate every text field, with an auto-translate option. See [How to have date picker in another language](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-to-have-date-picker-in-another-language-tb669e/).

### Can I change the calendar colors and layout?

Yes — 5 layouts, custom colors, button shapes, date formats and more. See [Customize your widget appearance](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/customize-your-widget-appearance-1oefyzq/)



## Billing & data

### How does billing work? Can I change plans?

Plans are billed through Shopify. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime from the in-app **Pricing** page. See [DingDoong plans, billing & how to upgrade or downgrade](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/dingdoong-plans-billing-how-to-upgrade-or-downgrade-zlo70r/) *(Plans, Billing & Upgrades)*.

### How long is my order data stored?

You control it — set a data retention period and older records are automatically deleted. See [Data privacy](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/data-privacy-1bw0pna/)

### What happens to my settings if I uninstall?

Uninstalling removes the widget immediately. If you reinstall later, you'll need to reconfigure your settings, so we recommend disabling the app embed instead if the pause is temporary.
