What is order delay?
By default, order delay is turned off, and orders are automatically sent to print labs for fulfillment as soon as an order has been placed. With the order delay turned on, new orders will be put on hold up to 7 days depending on your store checkout settings. While the order is in order delay status, you can review the order and do the following:
- Edit the shipping address
- Adjust the crop
- Replace photos
- Add boutique packaging
Setting up order delay
Steps:
- From your dashboard go to Store > Settings.
- Locate the Order Delay.
- Select how many days you would like the order to be on hold before it is fulfilled automatically.
How do I review orders?
You can review the new orders by going to Store > Orders and clicking View next to the Order you wish to review.
When you click through to view the Order while it is on Order Delay, you will have the option to:
- Edit crops selected by your clients
- Replace images used for fulfillment
- Send the order to lab immediately
- Add more time to order delay
- Add boutique packaging
While your order is in order delay, you can click on the Send Order button to submit the order for fulfillment at anytime. If you don't do anything with the Order, the order will be automatically processed at the end of the order delay period. You will not be able to make any changes once the order has been sent to for fulfillment.
How do I replace images or edit crop?
If you want to edit, adjust, or preview the crop, simply click on Edit Crop. You can also click on Replace Photo to upload a new image. Editing or replacing the images within the order only applies for automatic fulfillment products. With self fulfilled items, you are able to download, edit, and crop the photo yourself before sending it to the lab of your choice.
