Now Recruiting: Create Preorders by testing Custom Pickup & Delivery Timing

[kellyj]

You’ve asked for it - a way to create Pre-orders on your online store and manage pickup and delivery in a way that supports your business. 

Square Beta is now testing Custom Pickup & Delivery Timing. 

What: 

This new feature now allows you to accept orders without providing your customers a dedicated pickup or delivery time -- giving you control of how you fulfill online orders.

Current limitations in this test allow your entire item library to be sold without Fulfillment ETA. This means that in order to have specialized items for pre-order or without a set date, you will need to make a secondary location for your orders if you allow for pickup/delivery on scheduled or ASAP items as well.

We are working towards item level fulfillment options in the future.

If you would like to test the current functionality of Custom Pickup & Delivery Timing, we have few steps to enroll:

1. Reply to this thread that you are interested.
2. Please take a second to join our Square Online Group in the Beta Community. Getting involved is as easy as requesting to join and singing the NDA embedded in your request to join.
3. Use the support materials to set up your store for Fulfillment without ETA.
4. Test and provide Feedback. Part of launching successful products for Square Online is making sure we have properly tested the feature and provided feedback for needed and wanted changes to the team. This includes bugs that you may find during the test.

Fine print:

• If you are currently using On-Demand Delivery, you will not be eligible to test this feature. On demand delivery requires that Square sends a pick-up notification to your courier, as we are not able to work around this, it will not work in tandem with services like Postmates and Doordash.
• Again, setting orders without a fulfillment time is location-specific. 

Happy testing and see you in the Beta Community!

I have been searching hi and low for this feature and now I see that you don't have it. I would like to take part in this. I need it as soon as possible as I run an embroidery store that sells School Shirts and this would be a huge help.

[Reena]

I'm missing something... I don't understand how to set this up.
What Support materials?  
I don't understand what to do... Either I am missing something or my system won't do this?
