I am finding Square is giving delivery and collection dates that I don’t want which is causing me a lot of problems. I may sell an item that won’t be ready for a few weeks and want to pre set the collection and delivery date to my choosing, not the customers.

I would also like a comment box so customers can add messages

Hi @Krust, thanks for letting us know! I know there are plans to set pickup & delivery without an estimated time but I don't have a set timeline for when this will be available right now. I'll be sure to follow up once I have more to share.
