How to set up next-day delivery
To use the next-day delivery feature, you must set up your same-day delivery first. After setting up your order cut-off time, you can choose to display an annotation that the same-day delivery items are also eligible for next-day delivery when the orders are placed after the specified cut-off time. The next-day delivery annotation will appear from the selected cut-off time until 12 AM.
Set up same-day delivery first
