Preparation time & Date range
Store owners now have the flexibility to control which shipping days are displayed to customers on their store site by configuring preparation and cut-off times.
Example
If a store offers shipping on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with a prep time of 3 days, they can set it up so that customers who place an order before 1 PM on Sunday can see the upcoming delivery slots for regular orders. However, for pre-order products, customers placing orders after 1 PM will only see shipping slots available after 1 week.
Here’s how to set it up:
Set the prep time before the cut-off time on Sunday to 3 days.
Set the cut-off time on Sunday to 1 PM and delay days to 10 days.
Enable preparation time
If you need time to prepare an order for shipping, you can enable preparation time by selecting Enable. Once enabled, it will appear as shown below:

If you need the same preparation time for every day, select "Basic settings"
If your preparation time varies by day, select "Advanced settings."
Enable cut-off time
If you need to set a cut-off time for orders on specific days of the week, simply tick the "Add a cut-off time" option.

Configure date range
If you want to limit how far into the future customers can choose for their shipping, you can set up a date range. This allows you to control how many days in advance customers can select a shipping slot.
Simply enter the number of days (the range) you want to allow for shipping.
For example, if you set the range to 7 days, customers will only be able to choose a shipping date within the next 7 days from the first available date.
