How can I enable pre-orders?

To get started, log in to the NOQ Backend Portal, go to Stores, and open the store(s) you want to configure for pre-order days.

1. Select Assign Menus, select the edit button on the end of the menu name.
   
   
   
   
2. Select Setup Pre-order Days 
   
   
   
   
   
3. Select the times for when you want pre-orders functioning
   • All times - this is a on going pre-order setup. 
   • On a single date - Use this for a specific event date you’ve got coming up, so pre-orders are automated just for that day.
   • On a custom date range - Use this for a limited period, for example a short-term popup at a venue.
      
   
   
   
   
4. Setup your Pre-Order settings 
   • Start accepting pre-orders from the amount of days in advance 
   • Slot duration the length of slots that you're offering 
   • Max products per slot the amount of products you're available to produce in the slot duration 
   • Max orders per slot 
   • Notification time before is what you're notified before the order is due 
   • Pre-order cut off is how far in advance the cut off is before last orders 
   
   
   
   
5. Set up your pre-order days and times. You can create multiple collection windows throughout the day for when customers can place and collect pre-orders. For example, if your kitchen is closed between 2pm and 5pm, you can set up two separate pre-order time slots to reflect this.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Once completing the setup, please ensure you are always selecting 'activate pre-orders' and then Save the amendments you make.
