Allowing Next-Day Delivery Outside Market Subscription and Order Settings
If you'd like to enable next-day delivery for specific delivery windows (e.g., 4pm - 8pm window only), this can be done outside the standard Market Subscription and Order Settings. This allows merchants to offer next-day delivery for select time slots, provided the order is placed before the configured cutoff time.
Impact on Market Settings
Allowing next-day delivery outside the standard Market Subscription and Order Settings provides greater flexibility. Merchants can enable next-day delivery for specific windows (e.g., the 4 PM – 8 PM window), even if the default settings—such as ordering lock days—would normally prevent it.
While the market may typically require more lead time, customers can still receive next-day delivery for the selected windows, provided the order is placed before the designated cutoff time.
How to check your ordering lock time
- Go to Admin > Fulfillment
-
Under the Market Section > Select the Market

-
Review the Subscription and Order Settings shown on the interface, and verify the Ordering Lock Time.

Currently, the order lock configuration (e.g., 3-day lock) controls the earliest available delivery date. For example, if today is June 2 and the merchant has a 3-day lock, the earliest delivery date shown is June 5.
Note: Allowing next-day delivery will override the ordering lock days as shown in the Subscription and Order Settings.
For example
- Order placed on June 2 before 11PM
- Delivery window: Evening (e.g., 4PM – 8PM)
- Fulfillment date allowed: June 3, 4PM – 8PM and the rest of the regular delivery windows
- If they place an order after 11PM on June 2 they they will see the regular delivery windows.
How to Allow Next-Day delivery
- Navigate to Admin > Fulfillment, then select the relevant Market
- Under the selected market, click on Delivery Zones
-
Choose the delivery zone you want to update

- In the Delivery Window section, click Edit Windows.
-
Within the Edit Delivery Windows screen, choose the specific window(s) you want to allow for next-day delivery

Once enabled, this setting will allow customers to select next-day delivery for the chosen delivery window.
