What’s New?

Delivery Dates: Exclude Unavailable Days From Lead Time and Limit Date Range

Delivery dates is a very important feature in the e-commerce business. Clear delivery dates set accurate expectations, reducing uncertainty and improving customer satisfaction. Also, correctly configured delivery dates reduce the chances of missed deliveries and the associated costs and inconvenience. In this release we improved our Delivery dates feature. We added two new settings: the Exclude unavailable days from lead time option and the Date range limiter (days) field.

If a customer places the order later in the day on Friday and your business does not work on the weekends, probably, you will not be able to deliver the order on Monday. The Exclude unavailable days from lead time setting can help you in cases like this, providing you with extra time to deliver the order.

Let’s say you configured the delivery dates in the following way:

• The Exclude unavailable days from lead time option is enabled

• Cut-off time: 12:00 PM

• Lead time before cut-off (days): 1 day

• Unavailable days: weekends

If a customer places the order on Friday before 12:00 PM, you still have the rest of the day to prepare and ship the order, thus the first available delivery date a customer can select will be Monday.

If a customer places the order on Friday after 12:00 PM, considering that weekends are non-working days for your business most likely you will not be able to deliver the order on Monday, thus the first available delivery date a customer can select will be Tuesday.

Using the Date range limiter (days) field, you can limit the delivery dates which will be available for selection in the checkout, preventing customers from selecting delivery dates in the distant future.

For example, the value set in the Date range limiter (days) field is 20. It means that 20 days starting from the next day after the current day will be available for selection. The days which are not in this range will be unavailable for selection. Non-business days, as well as any other designated unavailable days such as holidays, will remain unavailable.

Other Changes

• We have removed the CustomerID replacement tag from the following areas: Content elements, Page elements & messages. Previously, this tag allowed displaying customer IDs within various content elements and texts throughout the Sana webstore user interface. Although it was not shown by default, it could be used by webstore administrators. For security reasons, we have decided to remove it. If you were using this tag, please be aware that it will no longer be supported or displayed.

• We made Ratings & Reviews functionality in Sana Admin available for users with the Marketer role.

• Security improvements.

Bug Fixes
