  • last-minute orders, or

  • late changes to existing orders.

Set the amount of lead time you based on:

  • Number of Business days

  • Number of Hours (i.e 24hrs)

New Orders

Clients will only be able to choose event dates and times that give you enough lead time.

Example: 2 Business Days

When using business days, you can set the cutoff time to beanytime of the day or after aspecific cut-off time i.e 5PM.
