The cutoff time feature in a delivery app for a Shopify store allows you to manage same-day delivery effectively by defining a deadline time each day. Here’s how it works:
Purpose
It ensures that you have enough time to fulfill same-day delivery orders placed before a certain time of day (for example, 11:40 AM). Orders placed after this time will not be eligible for same-day delivery, helping you manage logistics more smoothly.
How it works
Before Cutoff Time: Customers see all available same-day delivery slots and can select one at checkout.
After Cutoff Time: The app hides all same-day delivery slots, so customers can only choose delivery slots for the next day or later.
