# How to disable past dates , weekends, or specific dates on the Date Picker?
A **Date Picker** field allows customers to select a date from a calendar on the product page instead of typing it manually.
Within Datepicker Field, we offer three different format under the Datepicker Settings:
* Date ποΈ
* Time π
* Date and Time ποΈ, π
You can use a Date Picker when you need customers to choose:
* A delivery date
* An appointment or booking date
* An event or workshop date
* A preferred production or shipping date
{% hint style="info" %}
If you need more control (date limits, disabled days, cutoff rules), you can enable **Advanced Date Picker**.
{% endhint %}
* **Date (Basic):** Simple date selection with no restrictions
* **Advanced Date Picker:** Full control over date rules, formatting, and availability
**Advanced Date Picker** is a customizable calendar field that gives you full control over:
* Date format
* Selectable days
* Minimum selectable dates
* Cutoff time rules
* Disabled weekdays and specific dates
Itβs ideal for delivery dates, booking dates, appointments, and pre-orders.
