Delivery days, time slots & repeat orders

What delivery scheduling is

It is a delivery-day picker on your checkout, for shops that run their own deliveries on fixed days instead of couriering every order. You tell LentloSites which days you deliver; the customer picks one of those days while ordering, and the chosen day shows on the order in your dashboard.

Turn on delivery days

Use this when you deliver on the same days for everyone — say Monday, Wednesday and Friday across your whole city.

Run different days in different parts of your city? If your Shipping page already has area zones, an Apply this schedule to dropdown appears at the top of this box — set one schedule for All areas, or a separate one per area zone. For full route delivery with its own calendar, use Zone Delivery Days instead.

Time slots (optional)

Slots split a delivery day into windows — useful when your van does a morning round and an evening round, or when you can only handle so many orders per trip. In the same box, under Delivery time slots (optional), tap + Add a time slot — up to 8, each with a name (like "Morning"), a start and end time, and Max orders per day (leave it blank for no limit). When a slot fills up for a date, customers simply can't pick it — no overbooking, no awkward calls.

The "get it sooner" fee

This is an optional extra charge for priority delivery — it turns your cut-off from a hard wall into a paid fast lane. Say your cut-off is 6 PM: a customer ordering at 8 PM would normally wait for the next delivery day. With a "sooner" fee set, the earlier day stays available — for a little extra.

• In the amber "Get it sooner" box of the same settings, pick Flat ₹ extra or % of order and type the amount. Leave it on Off and the cut-off simply applies to everyone.
• The fee is calculated on our servers from your setting — a customer cannot change it from their browser.
• It appears as its own line at checkout, and on the bill as a separate "Priority Delivery" line — so the invoice total always equals what the customer paid.
• Not on an order request: when you confirm orders first, no fee is added to the request — you set the day and any charge when you confirm it.

Repeat orders (subscriptions)

Repeat orders let a customer say "send me this same order every week" — perfect for milk, water cans, tiffin, or a monthly grocery basket. You switch it on from Manage → Sales → Subscriptions with one master switch, "Let customers subscribe to repeat deliveries".

• Once on, a Subscribe button appears next to past delivery orders in the customer's account on your website. They pick a rhythm: every day, every week, every 2 weeks, or every month. (Pickup orders can't be subscribed — this is for home delivery.)
• Each cycle, LentloSites creates a normal order in your Orders list automatically. It is priced fresh from your current prices each time — if you raised the milk price last month, the next repeat uses the new price, never the old one.
• Repeat orders are paid the way your other orders are — cash on delivery is the common choice, and customers who keep a balance in your store wallet can have each delivery settle from it automatically. Weekday schedules, subscriptions you set up yourself, a Subscribe box on the product page, holiday skips and a monthly statement all live in Repeat orders & subscriptions — read that one for the full picture. Items that go out of stock simply skip that cycle rather than creating a bad order.
• Customers manage themselves: skip the next delivery, pause, or cancel anytime from "My Subscriptions" in their account. You can also pause, resume or cancel any subscription from your Subscriptions page.

What's off by default

All of it — nothing on this page touches your store until you choose it. Day scheduling, time slots, the sooner fee, and repeat orders are each separate switches; you can use one without the others (for example, delivery days without slots, or repeat orders without any day picker).

Common questions

Quick answers to the doubts owners raise most often about delivery days and repeat orders.

Can a customer pick a day I don't deliver? No. The server double-checks every chosen date against your schedule — days you didn't enable, holiday dates, and made-up dates are all rejected, even if someone fiddles with the page.

Do subscription prices stay locked at the old price? No — each repeat is priced from your current product prices on the day it's created. You never accidentally honour last year's rate.

Do coupons or points apply to repeat orders? No. Repeats are plain orders of the same items — no coupon, loyalty or referral discounts are attached automatically.

How is GST handled on the sooner fee? It stays its own Priority Delivery line on the bill, separate from your products. On a GST-registered store the tax on that line follows the goods it is delivering (the law treats a seller's own delivery charge as part of the sale), and because your prices already include GST, the customer's total does not change — only how the bill splits it. Bills for orders placed before this rule started stay exactly as they were printed.
