What will an order window look like to your customers?
Once you’ve set up an order window, your customers can choose when they want to receive their order. In this example, an order window of one hour has been configured.
How does order lead time affect the checkout experience?
Order lead time affects the order windows that are presented to your customer during checkout. For example, if you’ve set an order lead time of 45 minutes and your customer places an order at 6:15pm, they will see a set of order windows beginning at 8:00pm instead of 7:00pm, giving you the time you may need to fill the order.
(In this example, if you changed the order lead time to 30 minutes or less and your customer places an order at 6:15pm, they would see a set of order windows beginning at 7:00pm.)
What does advanced ordering look like to your customers?
If you set up advanced ordering of one day or more, your customers will be able to choose a delivery date and time during checkout. In this example, advanced ordering of three days has been set.
