Order Limits That Protect Fulfillment Quality

Q: How is this different from Shopify's native inventory or availability settings?

Shopify doesn't cap orders by delivery date natively. Without Flare there's no way to prevent 100 orders landing on the same day. Flare adds date-level capacity limits that close automatically when reached - protecting your team without any manual date management.

Q: Can I set different limits for different days of the week?

Yes. Weekdays might allow 50 orders, weekends 30 and prep days 10. Each day of the week has its own capacity limit configured independently in Flare.

Q: Can I apply capacity limits to specific products or channels?

Yes. Set global daily limits or apply them at product or channel level. Limit same-day cake orders to 20 per day while keeping standard delivery products on a separate or uncapped limit.

Q: Can I adjust capacity for a specific date?

Yes. Increase capacity for a specific date in the Flare dashboard - for example opening extra slots for a holiday rush period. Changes apply immediately to the picker.

Why Capacity Limits Matter

Small fulfillment teams and local delivery businesses can only handle so many orders in one day. A bakery preps 20 cakes daily. A florist delivers 30 bouquets. A meal kit service packs 50 boxes. Without limits 100 orders land on the same day - overwhelming the team and forcing late deliveries, rushed fulfillment or refunds. It's better to spread demand across available days than to overpromise and underdeliver. Capacity limits in Flare close delivery dates when they reach their maximum automatically and move customers to the next available date - so every order books into a slot your team can actually fulfill.

How Flare Solves It.

Set daily order caps by day or day of week

Set maximum order counts per delivery date. Assign different limits per day of the week - weekdays at 50 orders, weekends at 30, prep days at 10. When a date reaches capacity it closes automatically and the picker defaults to the next available date.

Set limits by product or sales channel

Apply capacity rules at a granular level - limit specific products or sales channels independently. Useful when different product types have different fulfillment constraints or when retail and wholesale channels share the same team.

Dates close and reopen automatically

No manual date management needed. Flare tracks orders in real time and closes dates the moment capacity is reached. If an order is cancelled that capacity opens back up automatically - available dates always reflect what you can actually fulfill.

Common Challenges.

Delivery in Furniture is Complex. Flare Makes It Simple. More sales. Better customer experiences.

Deliver on time every time

When your team is never overloaded fulfillment quality stays consistent. Every order gets the attention it needs instead of being rushed on an overwhelmed day.

Spread demand without turning away business

Full dates close automatically so customers book into the next available slot. You capture the revenue and spread it across capacity you can actually deliver on - no manual intervention needed.

Build trust with honest availability

Showing tomorrow as unavailable when you're at capacity is better than promising it and delivering late. Honest availability builds the customer trust that drives repeat orders.
