    if ( isset( $wpide_slots[ $slot ] ) ) {
        $order->update_meta_data( '_wpide_time_slot', $wpide_slots[ $slot ] );
    }
}, 10, 2 );

add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_shipping_address', function ( $order ) {
    $slot = $order->get_meta( '_wpide_time_slot' );

    if ( $slot ) {
        printf( '<p><strong>Delivery slot:</strong> %s</p>', esc_html( $slot ) );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_order_meta_fields', function ( $fields, $sent_to_admin, $order ) {
    $slot = $order->get_meta( '_wpide_time_slot' );

    if ( $slot ) {
        $fields['wpide_time_slot'] = array( 'label' => 'Delivery slot', 'value' => $slot );
    }

    return $fields;
}, 10, 3 );
```

## Notes

Edit $wpide_slots to match your delivery rounds; the chosen slot appears on the order screen and in order emails.
