Delivery capacity limits

1 min read

Capacity limits stop you overbooking days you can't fulfill. They're the delivery side of the same idea as OrderRules' order caps.

  • Per-date and per-slot caps. Limit how many orders each delivery date — and each time slot within it — can take.
  • Atomic booking. Two shoppers can't grab the last slot at once; booking is atomic, so there's no overbooking.
  • Auto-release on cancel. When an order is cancelled, its slot is released and becomes bookable again.
  • Optional "slots left" display. Show shoppers how many places remain to nudge urgency.

Caps are enforced at checkout by the OrderRules Shopify Function, so back-door checkout paths can't exceed them.
