Same Day Cut-Off for Suburb

Same Day Cut-Off for Suburb

Set a same-day cut-off time for each delivery suburb so customers can only order same-day delivery when you`ve actually got time to make and send it. Once the cut-off passes for a postcode, customers ordering for that suburb are automatically moved to the next available delivery day.

What you can do here

  • Set a different same-day cut-off time for each suburb or postcode you deliver to.
  • Stop last-minute orders coming in for suburbs that are too far or too busy to reach in time.
  • Give customers a clear, automatic next-day option once the cut-off has passed.
  • Adjust cut-off times any time your delivery routes or capacity change.

Step by step

  1. In your dashboard, go to Settings and select Delivery Options.
  2. Open Delivery Suburb Postcode.
  3. Find the suburb or postcode you want to set a cut-off for.
  4. Enter the same-day cut-off time for that suburb, then save your changes.
  5. Repeat for any other suburbs that need a different cut-off time.
  6. Check your live website to confirm the cut-off is working as expected.

Tips

  • Give yourself enough buffer time before the cut-off to prepare and dispatch orders comfortably.
  • Set earlier cut-offs for suburbs that are further away or harder to reach.

Ask the assistant

Not sure where to start? Try asking the assistant things like:

  • "Set a 12pm same-day cut-off for postcode 3000."
  • "Change the same-day cut-off for Richmond to 1pm."
  • "Show me all the suburbs with same-day cut-offs set."
