Settings reference
Booking rules
Settings → Modules → Delivery Scheduling → Configure (or Booking rules on the Delivery Scheduling page).
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Days bookable ahead | 14 | How far ahead a shopper can book, 1 to 60 days. |
| Require a delivery slot | On | A shipping method that has slots cannot be ordered at checkout without one. Orders from the mobile app, admin orders and POS are never blocked. |
Calendar rules
Delivery Window settings (or Calendar rules on the Delivery Scheduling page). They are shared with the Delivery Window "arrives by" estimate and work whether or not that module is on.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Processing days | 1 | Working days to prepare an order. A product's own processing days would replace this value (there is no field for it in the product editor yet); a cart waits for its slowest product. |
| Cut-off time | 14:00 | Orders after this time start counting from the next day. |
| Working days | Mon–Sat | Days that count as processing days. Which days you deliver is decided by your slots. |
| Holidays | — | Dates with no deliveries, one-off or every year. A holiday is never offered and never counts as a working day. |
| Time zone | UTC | The zone dates are computed in. Left at UTC, your store's time zone is used; the Scheduling rules card warns if that is UTC too. |
The earliest date a shopper can pick: today (tomorrow after the cut-off), moved to a working day, plus the processing days. The shipping method's estimated days are not added — they are transit days for the Delivery Window "arrives by" estimate.
Per slot
Shipping method, day of the week, start and end time (HH:MM, store time, start before end), label (up to 100 characters), capacity (orders per date, at least 1), Active or Disabled. See Slots, capacity + bookings.
Order emails
The order emails receive two variables when the order has a booking (both empty otherwise):
| Variable | Example |
|---|---|
{{delivery_date}} | Thu, 8 Oct 2026 |
{{delivery_window}} | 09:00–12:00 · Morning |
The standard Order confirmation and New order (admin) emails show them in a "Delivery" row under the order number. If you have edited one of these emails, your text is kept: add a line with {{delivery_date}} and {{delivery_window}} yourself. The vendor's new-order email receives both variables too. Reset to default restores the standard text with the row.
Permissions
View shipping opens the page, Manage shipping changes slots and calendar rules, View orders shows Scheduled Deliveries and the delivery on orders, Manage orders cancels a booking. See Permissions & roles.
When the module is off
- Checkout shows no calendar and no new booking is accepted; a shopper on an open checkout page is asked to pick again.
- The admin pages say the feature is not available.
- Orders keep the booking they already have, on every page, email and packing slip; the orders list hides the Delivery column and filter.
