If you have specific products, product tags, or collections that need different preparation times, you can set it up using the Preparation time override without changing the preparation days used for the rest of your store.
Example Scenario: A custom bouquet takes longer to prepare than a standard one. Your store normally requires 1 day to prepare products before they are shipped. However, some customised bouquets require 3 days to prepare.
How to set product overrides by preparation time for shipping
1. Under the Product overrides section, click on Add overrides.
2. From the options given, click Create under the Preparation time option.
3. Name your override. (Example: Same day orders)
4. Choose one of the following ways to apply the override:
- Specific products – Apply the rule to selected products.
