Cut-Off Times That Stop Late Orders

Q: How is this different from Shopify's native delivery date settings?

Shopify doesn't support cut-off times natively. Without Flare the delivery dates shown at checkout don't change based on when the order is placed - so a 5 PM order shows the same next-day option as a 9 AM order. Flare adjusts delivery dates dynamically based on your cut-off rules.

Q: Can I set different cut-offs for different days?

Yes. Weekdays might have a 3 PM cut-off while Saturday cuts off at 12 PM and Sunday has no same-day at all. Each day can have its own cut-off time configured independently.

Q: Do cut-offs work with product lead times?

Yes. If a product needs 2 days prep and the cut-off has already passed Flare calculates the combined lead time automatically and shows the correct earliest delivery date.

Q: Can customers see when the cut-off is?

Yes. Show a countdown timer like order in the next 2 hours for next-day delivery to create urgency and set clear expectations before checkout.

Why Cut-Off Times Matter for Shopify Stores

Your courier collects at 2 PM. An order placed at 3 PM can't go out until tomorrow - but Shopify still shows next-day delivery at checkout. The customer expects it tomorrow. You can't fulfill until the day after. That gap between what checkout promises and what operations can deliver creates disappointed customers and avoidable support tickets. Cut-off times automatically adjust the delivery dates shown at checkout based on when the order is placed - so next-day only appears when you can actually deliver it.

How Flare Solves It.

Define cut-off times for your operation

Set the time each day after which next-day or same-day delivery is no longer possible. Orders before the cut-off show tomorrow. Orders after show the next available date. No manual intervention - the picker updates automatically in real time.

Set different cut-offs per day of the week

Weekday cut-offs might be 3 PM when your courier collects, Saturday at 12 PM and Sunday not at all. Each day (including Fridays and Weekends) operates independently so the picker always reflects real availability regardless of when the customer orders.

Set different cut-offs by shipping method or delivery zone

Next-day express cuts off at 3 PM when your courier collects. Standard delivery at 1 PM. Local delivery at 6 PM. Remote postcodes might cut off earlier because the courier needs more transit time. Each method and zone uses its own cut-off so the picker always reflects what your courier can actually achieve.
