This setting impacts when shoppers can place orders and determines whether next-day ordering (including delivery) is permitted.

The After Hours Ordering feature allows shoppers to place orders for the next business day when the store is closed. This provides flexibility by enabling shoppers to schedule future orders even outside regular hours.

Example: If a shopper places an order at 8:57am (before the store opens at 9:00am), the system still allows them to place an order if this setting is enabled.

Enabling Next-Day Orders: Ensure the 'After Hours Ordering' toggle is turned ON to let shoppers order for the next day even when the store is closed.
​
The following message will be shown on your menu if After Hours Ordering is enabled:

Restricting Orders to Same-Day Only: If you prefer limiting orders to same-day only, turn the 'After Hours Ordering' toggle OFF. This prevents shoppers from scheduling orders outside business hours for future dates.
