We’re excited to announce a new option for businesses who prepare orders in batches instead of on a rolling basis.
We're currently looking for sellers to test this feature, and would love your help.
Batch Production/Cutoff Times will allow you to:
- Define an order cutoff time. For example, all orders placed before 10am can be fulfilled same day, and orders placed after that time will be automatically rolled over to the next day
- Define lead times. For example, with a 1 day lead time, the earliest an order placed today could be picked up would be tomorrow
- Show an all-day fulfillment window, instead of a specific time. For example, if my business hours are 9am-5pm daily, I can show my buyer that they can pick their items up today between 9am-5pm, instead of showing them that they need to pick it up at a specific time (e.g. 1:45pm)
Key limitations you should be aware of:
- These settings only apply to pickup and delivery orders
- For now, these settings only exist at the location level, not the item level.
- The lead time feature ('minimum days required') uses business days, not calendar days.
