Is there any way to limit the number of orders that can be sent on certain days?

Organic Feast

With the current COVID 19 situation we are being inundated with orders...not a bad problem to have. But we are finding that we can't keep up.

We only deliver to our local area in our own trucks, so I have set up a custom carrier (ourselves) and we deliver to certain zones (that I have created) and these are limited to certain days of the week. A customer gets to chose their delivery date .

What we'd like to do is say that we can only accept say 50 orders per zone per day. Once those 50 slots are filled then the customer has to choose the next available day.

I see I can limit the number of consignments per manifest for the custom carrier, but I don't think that will work in the way I want, given that the manifest won't be created until after all the orders have come in.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

Hi. Apologies we couldn't reply you earlier.

 

I understand the situation. I recommend to setup your location as Warehouse so you can adjust stock quantities according to shipping zones.

 

Please refer to the articles below for more detailed information:

I hope this helps. Feel free to reply back with any other queries.
