Product Group Cut-Off Times

For w3shops and Flyerlink, a cut-off time can be added to ensure your production teams have enough time to fulfil your customer's expectations.

Default Cut-Off Times

There are 3 types of cut-offs.
By default, all products have in the UK have:

1. Cut-off for 081 jobs
   7pm for jobs placed in Flyerlink
2. Cut-off for online orders
   3pm for customers who order online
3. Cut-off for templates
   3pm for customers who order templates online

If someone orders online before 3pm, the turnaround time on their w3shop will show as:

If someone orders after 3pm, the turnaround time on their w3shop will show as:

Product's time in production +
 Supplier's default despatch methods delivery time (1 day for products from HubM) +
 1 day (since cut-off has passed).

For more on how turnaround times work, see w3pedia article 5583.

Product Group Custom Cut-Off Times

If you want to choose a different cut-off to the default, you can change this for each product group.

Simply

1. Go to Workgroup > My Products > Products > Product Group > View/Amend
2. Tick Use Custom Cut Off
3. Add the cut off time you need for Flyerlink orders, online orders and template orders.

In this example, the Template Orders are given more time as they are require less intervention for a sales team.
