Decide whether you want to include non-working days in prep day:
Note: By default, DingDoong includes non-working days in the preparation time. The preparation time starts from the order day (which is counted as Day 1).
Read the two scenarios below to decide if non-working days should be included in the prep time for your business:
Working Days for Delivery: Monday and Wednesday
Prep Days: 3 prep days
Order Date: August 21st
If non-working days (like weekends) are included in the prep time calculation, prep will be counted over three days, even if some of those days are non-working days:
Prep Time: August 21st to 23rd (Mon to Wed)
Available Delivery Dates (based on the date picker): August 28th (Mon), August 30th (Wed), September 4th (Mon), September 6th (Wed), September 11th (Mon)
If you choose to exclude non-working days from the prep time, prep will only count on working days:
Working Days for Delivery: Monday and Wednesday
Prep Days: 3 prep days
Order Date: August 21st
With non-working days excluded, prep time will only count on the working days:
Prep Time: August 21st (Mon), August 23rd (Wed), and August 28th (Mon)
Available Delivery Dates (based on the date picker): August 30th (Wed), September 4th (Mon), September 6th (Wed), September 11th (Mon), and September 13th (Wed
The table will display how many themes you have for this store and which one is enabled with our app. If the embed status is "Inactive," please go to "Open" to embed DingDoong, so the scheduling widget can appear on your storefront.
You can choose to enable local delivery or pickup for your customers.
Note:
If you turn on the date picker for either of these methods, a scheduling widget will appear on your storefront.
If you turn off the date picker, the delivery or pickup option will still show on your storefront, but without the scheduling widget.
With DingDoong, you can embed a Google map under the date picker so your customers can find the pickup location faster.
Your pickup locations will be shown on map on your website like this:
All you need is to give the app a Google Maps API key so it can fetch the map upon request.
Step 1: Choose or create a new project
Click the project drop-down and select or create the project for which you want to add an API key
Step 2: Create an API key
Click the menu button and select Google Maps Platform > Credentials
On the Credentials page, click + Create Credentials > API key

Click the menu button and select APIs
On the APIs page, choose Distance Matrix API and enable it
