Override: Preparation time

Last updated: April 22, 2026

Require more hours or days before matching products can get a delivery or pickup slot.

Use this for made-to-order, custom, or slow-prep items. The app pushes the first available slot later in time only when a matching product is in the cart.

When you would pick this in the app

In "Product-based override by", select Preparation time.

Steps

1

Add a product-based override, Enable it, and choose Preparation time.

2

Add the tags or SKUs for products that need extra lead time.

3

Open the Local Delivery tab. Enter a number and choose hours or days — this is how long you need before a delivery slot can be offered for these products.

Preparation time number and hours or days on Local Delivery tab

Example: 1 day means the first bookable day shifts forward by one day for matching carts

4

Open the Store Pickup tab. Use "Same as local delivery" if pickup should use the same prep time, or set pickup time separately.

5

Save the location.

This is per location. For store-wide product prep rules, you may also use Settings → Product Preparation Time — overrides here apply only at this location and only when tags or SKUs match.
