Setting delivery hours and windows
If your store is on WooCommerce or Shopify, you can use Breadstack Delivery to customize the hours your customers can select for local delivery when checking out.
If your store is on Breadstack
Note that you must set delivery hours in Breadstack. Once you've done that, Breadstack Delivery will import your store's delivery hours directly. Learn more about setting delivery hours in Breadstack.
To adjust delivery hours and window settings:
- Go to Settings > Stores and select the store for which you want to set up hours.
- In the store information panel, open the Delivery Hours tab.
- Click to toggle on Enable Custom Hours.
Delivery Hours
For each day of the week, set your store's delivery hours.
If your store does not offer delivery at all on a certain day of the week, uncheck the box next to that day.
If your store offers 24-hour delivery, select the "..." symbol and click Open 24 Hours.
Time Slot
Select the length of each delivery time slot customers can select.
Available lengths range from 15 minutes to 5 hours.
Next Available Time
Choose how much buffer time to leave between delivery windows.
For example, if a customer has placed an order for delivery between 9am and 10am, and you've set Next Available Time to 1 hour, the hour between 10am and 11am will become unavailable to future customers.
Special Hours
Complete this section if your delivery hours will be limited on specific days of the year - for example, on public holidays.
- Provide the Name of the holiday (or the reason for closure).
- Select a Start Date and click Apply. Do the same for the End Date.
- Add special hours for each day in the range. If you'll be completely closed for delivery on any days, uncheck the box beside that day.
- If desired, adjust your Time Slot length and Next Available Time buffer for this period.
- Click Save when finished.
