Delivery time slots

Time slots will be displayed on the homepage of the business
They will act as the Delivery Hours of the business.
The overall opening hours of the business can be 09:00 to 18:00 but for deliveries they may only be open from 12:00 to 18:00.

When you’ve just created a business/restaurant from + Create a new restaurant the Delivery Time slot under Fulfillment will show no time slots. Click Add to create a new time slot.

By clicking Add a new time slot field will become available. Choose the corresponding Time and Days. See example below:

TIP: Saving settings only works if a Time Slot has a selected time and at least one (1) checked ☑️ day. See below:

If you need to remove a Time Slot click the button on the right-end of the Time Slot.

As soon as possible (ASAP)
This option works best when the delivery opening hours of the business is set in a single Time Slot. See the above image, e.g. 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM. This option allows the customer to place an order to be delivered as quickly as possible. Go to Prepration to check how the ASAP times are configured. See images below for ASAP delivery times examples:

Cart	Popup

Time slot
This option works best when you create multiple time slots within the delivery opening hours of the business. Se image below:

In this case, the delivery opening hours of the business are 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. But the whole schedule has been split into hourly slots. When Time slots is selected, customers will see multiple hourly slots as delivery times. See images below (click to open full-size images in a new tab):
TIP: You don’t necessarily have to create hourly slots, you can create shorter or longer slots.

Cart	Popup

TIP: You can use the ASAP option with multiple slots.
WARNING: If you have one (1) slot, 09:00 AM - 6:00 PM, and you choose Time Slots, the delivery option for the customer will show up as only one time slot of 9 hours.

Minimum cart amount

By setting a minimum cart amount the system doesn’t allow purchases under the set amount. If minimum cart amount is £8 than only purchases that equal or are above £8 can be placed.

Additional delay before ordering

This option is one of the methods that allows pre-ordering. When either Day(s) or Hour(s) is set with a value equal or greater than 1 the delivery time will be displayed in the future from the current time of ordering.

If Day(s) is set to 1 the first available delivery time will always be displayed as +1 day from the current day. See images below (these screenshots were taken on a Friday):

Delay: 1 Day	Delay: 2 Days

If Hour(s) is set to 1 the first available delivery time will always be displayed as +1 day from the current day. See images below (these screenshots were taken at 13:00. The extra time after o’clock is the delivery and preparation times):

Delay: 1 Hour	Delay: 2 Hours

Allow pre-ordering

When this option is checked ☑️ it allows customers to order before the delivery or collection opening time of the restaurant. Specifically the Order button on the restaurant homepage will be disabled.

Before this option was implemented, customers could always pre-order.

Allow editing

When this option is checked ☑️ it allows the business owner to edit the Delivery Time Slots.
This option is unchecked by default.

Number of shipping choices (in days)

The default value is 2. It cannot be changed to anything lower than 2. The default value 2 means the cutomer will be presented with two delivery days (current day and the next day). If the value is 3 the customer will be presented with three (3) delivery days. See images below:
TIP: The days when the business is closed do not count towards the Number of shipping choices (in days).

Shipping choices: 2	Shipping choices: 3

Delivery perimeter

The first option has two choices, Zone and Distance.

Selecting Zone allows you select a delivery zone previously configured and uploaded under Settings > Zones. It will turn the second option into a dropdown menu from which you can select a pre-configured zone.

Selecting Distance (km) allows you to input a value in numbers representing the radius in kilometers with the center at the address of the business.

Payment

Connect with Stripe

In the Payment section you will find two Connect with Stripe buttons. One for Test and another for Live mode. You should connect Test mode first and make Test payments to make sure the Restaurant and Stripe account of the restaurant are configured correctly.

Go to Creating a Stripe account to begin setting up the account.

To know more about Test (how to make Test payments) and Live mode go here

Allow the restaurant to manage Stripe account on its own

This option should be enabled only if the restaurant owner already has a Stripe account and if they know how to set up Test and Live mode. However, it is preferrable if the coop sets up the restaurant Stripe's account.

When enabled this option makes the Payment section visible on the restaurant’s owner account. Meaning they will be able to connect Stripe themselves. The option is disabled by default.
