3. Now we will try to write the following term ‘m/d/Y’.

And as you can see, the plugin displays the official date format. Please note that the variable ‘Y’ represents ‘yyyy’ and this is the reason why the year is displayed as 2018 on the Cart page.

4. Now let us implement the following format(dd/mm/yy). This is the official Indian date format and it can be represented by the term ‘d/m/y’ in the code snippet.

Sometimes it is better tore that is in the US then he or she might get confused with the estimated delivery date format. Especially if the date is something like 10/12/2017.

So, let us try some of the most common date formats that include the month’s name in them.

5. Here, we will try to implement the following date format(dd mmm yy). For this, we will write ‘d M y’ in the code snippet and the final result would display the format as shown in the following image.

Please note that the name of the months will be displayed in three letters only. So, for the month October, the estimated delivery date will show Oct. However for the months June and July, it will be displayed as June and July because they contain just four letters.

6. Another way to write the following term in the code snippet ‘d-M-Y’.

7. (mmm dd yyyy) is also preferred and used by many WooCommerce sto add the following term in the code snippet ‘M d Y’.

8. If you wish to show the complete information including the weekday and the name of the month, then you can choose the following format (Weekday, dd of Month yyyy). Please copy the following line in the code snippet ‘l, dS F Y’.

By making use of the list given above, you can try other display delivery formats as well.
