Cut-off time is the deadline by which a customer must place an order if they want it to be eligible for same-day delivery or pickup. Orders placed after this time will only be available for the next eligible delivery or pickup date.
What is the “Multiple Cut-Off Time” Feature?
Previously, you could only set one global cut-off time that applied to all days of the week. Now, with the Multiple Cut-Off Time feature, you can configure different cut-off times for each day. This gives you full flexibility to match your store’s actual operating hours and order-handling capacity.
For example, you might have longer working hours on weekdays and shorter hours on weekends — this feature allows you to adjust accordingly.
How to Set Up Multiple Cut-Off Times
1. Open the Stellar Delivery Date & Pickup App.
2. Go to App Settings.
3. Enable the Cut-Off Time option.
4. You will now see each day of the week listed (Monday to Sunday).
5. Use the On/Off toggle next to each day to enable or disable the cut-off time for that specific day.
6. Set a custom cut-off time for each active day.
7. Click the Save Changes button to apply your settings.
Example Scenario
Let’s say you run a bakery that takes same-day delivery orders. Your kitchen is open longer on weekdays and closes early on weekends. Here’s how you can use Multiple Cut-Off Time:
- Monday: 3:00 PM
- Tuesday: 3:00 PM
- Wednesday: 3:00 PM
- Thursday: 3:00 PM
- Friday: 4:00 PM
- Saturday: 12:00 PM
- Sunday: Cut-off time disabled (No same-day delivery)
If a customer places an order at 2:30 PM on Tuesday, they can choose same-day delivery.
If a customer places an order at 3:30 PM on Saturday, they won’t see Saturday as an available delivery date. The earliest delivery shown will be Sunday or next eligible day based on your setup.
