This article explains how the minimum delivery interval interacts with holidays and non-working days in your store. You can choose whether to include holidays in the delivery interval, which affects the final delivery date for your customers. If you do not check the “Include holidays in interval” option, holidays will be excluded from the count, extending the delivery date.
Conversely, if you check the option, holidays will be included, resulting in a shorter delivery timeframe. For example, if you set a minimum delivery interval of 4 days starting from March 3rd, and Sunday is a holiday, the delivery date will be March 8th if holidays are excluded, or March 7th if included.
If you have set a minimum delivery interval and marked certain dates as holidays or non-working days, the behavior depends on whether the “Include holidays in interval” option is checked.
- If the option is unchecked:
All disabled dates and non-working days will be excluded from the interval count. This means they will be added on top of the minimum delivery interval days. - If the option is checked:
Holidays and non-working days will be included in the interval count, so they won’t extend the delivery date further.
Example:
If today is March 3rd and you’ve set a minimum delivery interval of 4 days, and Sunday is a non-working day:
- With the “Include holidays in interval” unchecked, Sunday is excluded from the count, so the delivery date becomes March 8th.
- With the option checked, Sunday is included in the 4-day count, so the delivery date becomes March 7th.
