Is there a way to limit the number of orders per hour?

[The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Limit orders per hour?]

 

Is there a way to limit orders per hour in the square store? Like I get a pile of orders and they are all set for being ready in a certain time from the ordering time. But is there a way to set it so if you have say 20 orders for 10:15am after 20 it will bump the next ones to be ready for like 10:30 or 10:45?

Hey there! I've got an update on this feature ๐Ÿ’ฅ

 

We've just launched Order Staggering for Square Online Store, which lets sellers set the number of orders they can take every 15 minutes (so that they don't get flooded with too many orders at once that they can't fulfill).

 

This can be found in our dashboard > Settings > Pickup & Delivery > select a location > edit Hours.

Let me know if you have any questions about this, or any additional feedback regarding this update ๐Ÿ’ก

Thanks for following up, @bryan2!

 

We do have an option in the online store now to limit the number of orders you receive in a given time frame. Check out the post from @isabelle that includes instructions on how to turn on order staggering.

I'm working on using square for my cabinet business, and this might be the biggest deal breaker. The # in 15 minutes is still very restrictive. For my needs I need to setup # per day. I feel like # per # hours would be compatible with a lot of the situations I've seen in this thread, including mine. And being able to choose the units minutes/hours/day would be even better.
