Flexible Fulfilment ASAP and Preorder Configurations

Only availble for customers using Web and App 6+

We’ve introduced Flexible Fulfilments to give outlets more control over how they offer Delivery and Collection services. Outlets can now configure their fulfilment options based on their own operational needs — whether they want to accept ASAP orders, Preorders, or both.

This flexibility ensures that each outlet can manage orders in a way that works best for their business operations, staffing, and customer experience - whether they’re running a restaurant, grocery store or retail shop.

Here are some examples of real-world scenarios:

Bob's Bakery wants to let customers collect as soon as they like, on the same day, but he can only make deliveries the next day in the morning. This outlet would have the following configuration with ASAP Collection enabled, and Preorders only enabled for Delivery:

Peters Pizza House can make 8 deliveries per hour on the same day and up to 14 days in the future, but can handle any volume of collection orders. This outlet would have the following configuration with ASAP only enabled for Collection:

How to Configure Fulfilments

Important Note for Marketplace Admins

Ordering app: Flexible fulfilments are not supported on ordering apps below v6. This means that customers may be offered unexpected delivery windows and collection slots Customers on older app versions will still be able to order, for example, when Allow ASAP and Allow ASAP Delivery is enabled and Allow ASAP Collection is disabled, the customer will be able to place an ASAP Collection order.

Outlets can configure their fulfilments by:

• Allow ASAP orders - When enabled, the user can choose to set this by fulfilment:

  • Allow ASAP Delivery

  • Allow ASAP Collection

• Allow Preorders - When enabled, the user can choose to set this by fulfilment:

  • Allow Delivery Preorders

  • Allow Collection Preorders

If 'Allow ASAP' is enabled only, when an outlet is within its ordering times customers are able to place ASAP orders only, and Preorders will not be offered.

If 'Allow Preorders' is enabled only, the outlet will only offer pre-orders according to the Days Offered Slider, and ASAP will not be offered.

If ‘Allow ASAP' and ‘Allow Preorders’ are enabled, when an outlet is within its ordering times, the customer will be able to place ASAP orders, and will be offered Preorders according to the 'Days Offered’.

‘Days Offered' can only be configured when 'Allow Preorders’ are enabled. The first slider sets when the first preorder slot/window will be offered, the second slider sets when the last preorder slot/window will be offered. See below table on slider setting examples:

Slider Controls	Days offered
	Preorder for today only.
	Preorder for today and tomorrow.
	Preorder for today and the following 30 days.
	Preorder for tomorrow only.
	Preorder for tomorrow and the following 29 days.
