Local Delivery: Product Override

Use Product Override to set custom lead times and availability rules for individual products in your local delivery workflow.



What is Product Override?


Product Override lets you apply different preparation times and availability rules to specific products for local delivery. Use it to manage products that need more or less time to prepare, or to control when certain products can be delivered.


Why use Product Override?


  • Set flexible lead times for products with different preparation needs
  • Control product availability for special dates or limited-time offers
  • Prevent delivery orders for specific products on certain dates

Key notes and best practices

  • If a cart contains products with different overrides, the widget shows only the common available dates.
  • If a day is disabled in your main Availability Settings, it cannot be enabled through Product Override.
