How can I set my online store's operating hours and days?
You can set your online's store operating hours and days in your Enstack webstore.
To set:
Go to the "Online Store Settings" in your dashboard.
Scroll down to “Business Hours.”
Choose one of the following options to customize your hours:
Always Open: Toggle this if your store is open to accept orders 24/7.
Edit Per Day: Customize each day's hours by selecting:
Open 24 Hours: Keep your store open all day for a specific day.
Closed: Set your store to be closed for the entire day.
Custom Hours: Define specific open and close times. Add multiple time slots if needed by clicking “Add Hours” (e.g., 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM - 10:00 PM).
Click "Save" to apply your business hours settings.
Helpful Tips for Setting Business Hours:
- For Split Shifts:
If your store operates during split hours, like a food stall open in the morning and evening, you can set up two time slots per day. For example: - Morning: 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM
- Evening: 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
- For Night or Mid-Shift Operations:
If your store operates late at night or into the early hours of the next day, you’ll need to break the hours into two slots to match the calendar day. For instance: - First Slot: 10:00 PM - 11:59 PM
- Second Slot: 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM (next day)
This setup ensures your operating hours are accurately reflected without overlapping or scheduling errors.
Overlapping Times: If your hours overlap, you’ll see an error message saying, “This time slot overlaps with your existing business hours. Please choose a later time.” Past-Midnight Times: If you’re setting hours that go past midnight, remember to set the end time for the next day. You’ll get a message reminding you: “Time slots after midnight should be set for the next day. Please set the end time no later than 11:59 PM.”
