How do I set a future processing start date for pre-order products?
When managing pre-order products, you may want to delay order processing until a specific future date. This can be easily configured using the "Start date" field in the processing schedule.
For pre-orders, customers can place their orders in advance while the processing begins on a scheduled date, such as when the product becomes available. This ensures that your estimated delivery dates reflect accurate timelines and align with product availability.
To set a future processing start date for pre-order products, navigate to the "Processing schedule" section in Delm and click "New rule".

Set conditions that target pre-order products, such as Tag, Collection, or Vendor, to ensure the rule applies to the correct products.

In the scheduling section, find the "Start date" field and enter the future date when processing should begin (e.g., the product launch or availability date). Leave it blank for immediate processing.

Save the rule and test it in the "Test data" section to ensure the start date and conditions work correctly.


This configuration ensures accurate processing times and delivery estimates for pre-order products. Contact support if you need further assistance.
