Delivery Blackouts tab
In coordination with Saddle Creek, configure “delivery blackout” dates.
*Any configured dates will prevent customers selecting those dates during the checkout.
Configuring Location Preferences tab
By default each distribution center can ship to anywhere around the globe. UltraCart will select the distribution center that is the shortest distance away from the customer as long as there is available inventory there. There may be circumstances where you have a distribution center that can only serve a particular set of places. For instance you may have a Canadian distribution center that is only meant to handle Canadian orders. Using preferences you can enforce these types of restrictions.
If you have a single distribution center configuration, then this tab will not apply
Order Status Codes tab
This tab will not apply. This tab applies only to distribution centers configured with the “None” option in the Transmission Mechanism tab.
Shipment Blackouts tab
In coordination with Saddle Creek, configure any applicable shipment blackouts.
Shipment Cutoff Times tab
Time each day that orders must be received by in order to ship. This information will be used to calculate the shipment day. Some shippers will provide a number of days in transit which will be used to tell the customer the estimated date of delivery. Enter all times in 24 hour format EST/EDT time zone.
If you only ship on certain days of the week, fill out cut-off times for those days and leave all the other days blank.
Shipment Processing Time tab
If any order takes time to prepare for shipment then you can configure additional processing days. This will increase the date that the order actually ships. If you leave the processing days blank then UltraCart will assume that you are shipping same day as long as the cut-off time has been met.
