How do I set up scheduled pick ups?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Help please - setting up scheduled pick ups

Hi

I am currently setting up an online shop for my home bakery.  I plan on baking 'specials' that will change each week.  When I put the item live it allows customers to select a pick up date up to 3 weeks in advance.  I only want to offer pick ups for the coming week - is there a way of setting this?

Thanks

@Honeysuckle The short answer is no, there aren't any options on there. 

My pizza menu changes weekly & I've never had an issue thought. Even when I have something on the menu that's only available on a Friday & not on the Saturday then as long as I've put a note at the top of the description then I've not had any miss-orders. 

If you pop a note on the ordering page, or even in the description of the special with it's available dates you'll be good. 

I'll tag @Helen as she'll know if there's anything in the works for it - but I'd really not worry about it 👍🏻

Hello! That is correct, at this time the best workaround is to add a note in the item description.

I definitely appreciate why you'd like to limit the pick up time frame, but I don't have a timeline for when this might be added. For now, I'm marking @Sam_400º's answer as the Best Answer so that other business owners can find this post and share their interest in this feature!

Just curious is there's been any updates to this? Would be great to have this option

Hey @CaliGirlUk - yup, you can now limit scheduled orders from anything from 7 days to 90. I’ve set mine for 7, so customers can only order for the week.
