How to Configure Global Settings

The Global Settings section allows you to define default lead time behavior across your entire store. This is especially useful if you want consistent messaging based on stock status, without configuring each product individually.

You can find these settings by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → WooCommerce → Lead Time

Then scroll down to the Global Settings.

Lead Time Per Stock Status

Set default lead times for each product availability condition. This helps automate customer communication depending on whether a product is In Stock, Out of Stock, or On Backorder.

Lead Time Prefix

Add a custom prefix to appear before the lead time text (e.g., “Estimated Delivery:”).

Lead Time Type

You have two options for entering lead time values:

  • Manual Input (Text)
    Enter custom lead time text (e.g., “Ships within 1–2 weeks”).
  • Specific Date
    Choose a calendar date, and the plugin will automatically show that as the expected availability or delivery date.

Lead Time Text

This is the core message that appears to customers. Customize it based on the nature of your products and shipping process.
