for delivery. For example, we will set

interval, which will be available
for customers. This interval will
include the day of the order and N -

the same day as the order was placed
after a certain time period. We will set
10:00, in this case for the orders, which
were placed after 10:00 the delivery for
the same day won’t be available. Now it
is 15:01 and it means that all orders
which will be placed can't be delivered
today.
If we try to place the order at 15:03,
according to the Delivery day settings,
the same day delivery won’t be available
for us

It is also possible to restrict
delivery for the next day as
the order was placed after a
certain time period. We will
set 10:00, in this case for the
orders, which were placed
after 10:00 the delivery for
the next day won’t be
available. Now it is 15:03 and
it means that all order s
which will be placed can't be
delivered next day.
According to the Delivery Date
settings, delivery will be
available the same day and on
other days, except for the next
day.

It is possible to set a Time
