Start from Planner
Specific Dates and Drops begin from the same Planner action used for tasks and blocked dates.
Open Planner, select Add to Planner, and choose Create Specific Date/Drop. If you have no location yet, Planner keeps this action available and takes you through location setup first.
- Choose the location and enter a Drop name customers will recognize.
- Set Type to Single day or Recurring.
- Choose Pickup, Delivery, or Pickup + Delivery when the entitlement is available.
- For a single day, pick the Date and add fulfillment time blocks. For a recurring drop, choose Starting Date, Recurrence Pattern, and weekdays when Weekly is selected.
- Use Customer ordering schedule to choose when orders open and stop.
- Save, then use the management sheet’s Products and Inventory sections.
What customers see
Customers see the drop name, location, fulfillment time, and attached products when the occurrence is active, within the booking horizon, and before its cutoff. A future recurring occurrence can be outside the customer booking limit even when it exists in Planner.
Common problems
- Recurring form rejects the save: a recurring window needs a recurrence pattern, and weekly recurrence needs at least one weekday.
- Delivery cannot be selected: choose Pickup or enable the Delivery feature.
- The drop exists but customers see no products: attach products from the management sheet; creating a window does not automatically attach every product.
- Order cutoff behaves unexpectedly: confirm whether the cutoff is anchored to the fulfillment start or end.
Next steps
- Compare Weekly Schedule and Specific Dates/Drops
- Attach products to a drop
- Set order opening and cutoff times
Plan availability
