How to Set Up Business Hours vs. Order Hours

Learn the difference between physical store hours and online order hours, how to update daily schedules in WM Admin, and how to manage order intake across delivery and pickup zones.

Written by Weedmaps Onboarding

Overview

Taking control of your listing's availability ensures customers always know when your business is open and when online ordering is active. WM Admin allows you to configure physical storefront hours independently from online ordering windows, giving you precise control over customer expectations and team fulfillment capacity.

Business Hours vs. Order Hours: What’s the Difference?


​Feature

Business Hours
​(Hours of Operation)

Order Hours

What it Represents

The operation hours your doors are open for walk-ins and deliveries.

The specific window of time when customers can place pickup or delivery orders online through your menu.

Default Setting

Configured during initial listing setup.

Defaults to matching Store Hours unless manually customized.

Why It Matters

Informs customers when they can visit your physical location in person or order delivery.

Controls online order volume and helps manage team fulfillment capacity before opening or after closing.


How to Set Store (Hours of Operations) Hours

Your Store Hours reflect your standard daily schedule displayed on your public Weedmaps listing:

  1. Log in to WM Admin.
    ​

  2. In the left navigation menu, click Listing to view your business details.
    ​

  3. Scroll to the Hours section.
    ​

  4. Enter the opening and closing times for each day of the week.
    ​

How to Set Up Order Hours

Customize your online ordering schedule for specific pickup or delivery zones:

  1. Log in to WM Admin.
    ​

  2. In the left navigation menu, go to Orders and select Zones.
    ​

  3. Select the specific delivery or pickup zone you want to adjust.
    ​

  4. Click Edit zone.
    ​

Zone Changes Impact:

Adjustments made to a zone, such as updating order hours or pausing incoming orders, apply to all locations and listings assigned under that specific zone.

How to Pause Incoming Orders in a Zone

If you need to temporarily pause incoming online orders during an operational rush or emergency:

  1. Log in to WM Admin.

  2. In the left navigation menu, go to Orders and select Zones.

  3. Select the specific zone you want to adjust.

  4. Locate the toggle switch for Incoming orders next to the zone name and turn it OFF.

Important Note: Toggling off incoming orders pauses online ordering temporarily until 11:59 PM on the current day. Normal scheduled order hours will resume automatically the following day unless toggled off again.
