Availability Calendar

Use case: The availability calendar can be used if you want to offer your customers the possibility to select a delivery/pickup date for their subscription product when they are on your checkout page and finalising their order.

The availability calendar feature can be used to display a calendar in checkout. You can use the calendar for either a delivery or a pick up logic for the product or both.
