In the hyper-competitive world of e-commerce, the checkout process is a critical battleground where sales are won or lost. A clunky, confusing, or inflexible system can lead directly to cart abandonment. Modern customers expect clarity, control, and a seamless experience that aligns with the brand they are shopping with. Providing this level of service requires tools that are not just powerful, but also intuitive, flexible, and fully integrated.
We've listened closely to the needs of online merchants. The demand is clear: more control over branding, smarter logistics management, and clearer communication throughout the customer journey.
That’s why we are thrilled to announce the launch of CX Elevate v1.1.2. This isn’t just an incremental update; it's a fundamental reimagining of the date and time picker experience. We’ve rebuilt, refined, and packed this version with features designed to solve real-world business problems, boost conversion rates, and create a superior shopping experience. With the release of CX Elevate v1.1.2, we are putting unprecedented control directly into your hands.
This blog will walk you through the groundbreaking new features, focusing on how each one can be leveraged to improve your business operations and customer satisfaction.
A cohesive brand identity builds trust, and the checkout is where that trust is put to the ultimate test. A generic, out-of-the-box date picker can feel disconnected from a carefully curated brand aesthetic, creating a jarring experience for the customer at the most critical moment. With the CX Elevate v1.1.2 update, this compromise is a thing of the past.
We've supercharged the Theme Editor for all Date Picker Extensions. First, we’re introducing 10 new, modern date picker themes. These are thoughtfully designed styles, ranging from the default "Black Circle" to vibrant "Orange Square" and elegant "Purple Circle" options. Whether your brand is playful, corporate, chic, or rustic, there's a theme that will feel right at home, ensuring visual consistency across your entire site.

Beyond pre-set themes, CX Elevate v1.1.2 provides deeper customization for the appearance of your date picker, drastically improving its user-friendliness and giving it a truly modernized design. You can now adjust every visual element to perfection:
1. Calendar Border Radius: Fine-tune how rounded the corners of the calendar are, from sharp and modern to soft and friendly, to perfectly match your site's design language.
2. Calendar Visibility: Choose precisely when the calendar appears—instantly on page load, or only when a customer clicks the input field to reduce initial clutter.
3. Calendar Alignment: Align the calendar to the left, center, or right of the input box for a perfectly balanced and professional layout.
These tools allow you to craft a date picker that feels like a native part of your theme, strengthening brand identity and building customer confidence during the final steps of their purchase.
For any business offering local delivery or in-store pickup, balancing customer demand with operational capacity is a constant challenge. Unchecked order volumes for specific time windows can lead to service bottlenecks, stressed staff, and delayed fulfillment, ultimately harming the customer experience. The latest updates to Time Slots in CX Elevate v1.1.2 are designed to solve these exact logistical problems.
Our enhanced Time Slot feature is now more stable and powerful than ever, offering new customization and order management capabilities to streamline your business. Customers can now enjoy a seamless experience, easily selecting their preferred delivery or pickup date from the calendar. Once a date is chosen, a clean and intuitive grid of available time slots appears, allowing them to conveniently choose the specific window that works best for them. This stable, user-friendly system ensures a smooth and reliable scheduling process for every order.
1. Set Limits on Orders Per Time Slot: This is a game-changing feature for businesses with capacity constraints, such as bakeries, florists, or appointment-based services. You can now set a hard limit on the number of orders allowed for each specific time window. For example, a 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM slot can be configured to accept only 10 orders. Once that threshold is met, the time slot automatically becomes unavailable, gently guiding customers to the next open window. This prevents overbooking, manages customer expectations, and ensures every order gets the attention it deserves.

2. New, Sleek Display Styles: Visual presentation is key to a smooth user experience. We’ve added new style options for your time slot display. You can now choose a Radio Grid format with either clean square buttons or modern, rounded pills. This allows you to present your time slots in a way that is clear, clickable, and perfectly aligned with your brand’s aesthetic.

3. Ability to only show Time Slot when buyer selects a delivery or pickup date: To create a cleaner and more logical user flow, CX Elevate v1.1.2 now includes the ability to only show the Time Slot options after a buyer selects a delivery or pickup date. This declutters the initial view and creates a natural, step-by-step process: the customer first chooses the date, and then the time. This simple change reduces cognitive load and makes the entire process feel smoother and more intuitive.
Post-purchase anxiety is a significant issue in e-commerce. After placing an order, customers need immediate reassurance that their purchase details, especially delivery information, have been captured correctly. In the absence of clear communication, customers may worry, leading to preventable and time-consuming support inquiries.
The CX Elevate v1.1.2 update bridges this communication gap by ensuring delivery information is front and center, exactly where customers expect to find it.
1. Add Delivery/Pickup Info to Order Confirmation Emails: We now provide clear instructions and simple tools to add the selected delivery or pickup date and time directly into your shop’s standard order confirmation emails. By embedding this information, you provide immediate confirmation and reassurance. This proactive communication drastically reduces "Where is my order?" (WISMO) inquiries, freeing up your support team and increasing customer confidence.
2. Display on Thank You & Order Status Pages: The reassurance doesn't stop at the inbox. CX Elevate v1.1.2 introduces an extension to display the selected time slot and delivery date information directly on your post-checkout flow, including the Thank You page and the Order Status page. This provides immediate on-screen confirmation and a constant, easily accessible reference point for the customer. It reinforces their choice and helps them review their order's details at a glance, turning a simple transactional page into a valuable hub of information.
A powerful tool is only useful if it's accessible. Busy merchants don't have time to decipher complex settings or hunt for hidden features. We believe that empowering the merchant with intuitive controls is just as important as delighting the customer with a great interface.
1. A New Setting Onboarding Guide: To flatten the learning curve and help you get the most out of our app, CX Elevate v1.1.2 includes a brand-new setting onboarding guide. This interactive checklist walks you through the essential steps of setting up the app, from adding the date picker to your theme to configuring your first delivery rule. It helps you quickly understand what's possible and shows you exactly where to find the settings you need, ensuring you can leverage the app's full power from day one.

2. Smarter Max Delivery Date Limit: We've also made our delivery logic smarter to support businesses that operate on dynamic schedules. With the new Smarter Max Delivery Date Limit in CX Elevate v1.1.2, you can now set the calendar to only allow selectable dates within the current week or the current month. The best part? It automatically resets when the new week or month begins. This is ideal for businesses that release new menus, plan promotions, or manage inventory on a weekly or monthly basis. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it feature that adds a layer of intelligent automation to your operations.

Any great structure needs a solid foundation. Alongside these headlining features, the CX Elevate v1.1.2 update includes numerous other bug fixes and improvements.
Our team is constantly monitoring feedback, addressing issues, and working to make the entire platform faster, more stable, and more secure. While a new theme or a smarter limit might be more exciting to announce, it’s this relentless, behind-the-scenes work that ensures the app runs smoothly for thousands of merchants. The release of CX Elevate v1.1.2 is not just about what's new; it's about making what's already there better. This commitment to continuous improvement is our promise to you.
