Deliveries and delivery dates

Depending on the user's role and the configuration of the Business Center, users can arrange an order into separate deliveries by date, by shipping address, or both.

Users select shipping addresses during the Shipping step of the checkout flow. If the Order Line Shipping Address feature element is selected for a user's role, the user can divide orders into separate deliveries based on shipping address. If the feature element is not selected for the user's role, then users can select one address for the order.

Depending on the features that are set up in the Business Center and the configuration of the Order Checkout widget, users select delivery dates in the Shipping step, the Delivery step, or both.

If the Enable Shipping Dates in Step 1 configuration of the Order Checkout widget is set to Yes, then users can also select delivery dates during step 1 of checkout. This table shows the actions that users can take during step 1 when the Enable Shipping Dates in Step 1 is set to Yes:
