You now have the fantastic ability to establish precise opening hours that perfectly align with your actual business operations. To get started, follow these steps:
Access Opening Hours Settings: Navigate to your store's settings by going to Stores > Store Settings > Opening Hours
Customise Opening Hours: By default, the "Open 24 hours" option is toggled on. However, if you want to tailor-fit your opening hours, toggle this button off. This will grant you the flexibility to define specific opening and closing times for each day.
Setting Opening Hours After Midnight: Let's say your store operates late into the night and even crosses over to the following day. For example, if your store is open until 2:00 AM on Monday, and you want this to reflect in your Tuesday hours, follow these steps:
Click on the day following the one with the extended hours. In this case, click on Tuesday.
Click on "Add another time period" to create a new time slot.
Set the time period to cover the hours after midnight.
Use the "hour" and "minute" sections to specify the opening time after midnight.
If your store is open until past midnight, you can set it up similar to this: Tuesday 11:00 - 23:59 ; Wednesday 00:00 - 02:00
Setting Closing Times: The same process applies to setting closing times for extended hours:
Click on the tab for the day with the extended hours (Tuesday, in this example).
Click on "Add another time period" to create a new time slot.
Set the time period to cover the closing hours after midnight.
Use the "hour" and "minute" sections to specify the closing time after midnight.
With these steps, your opening hours will accurately reflect your unique business schedule, including operations that span into the early hours of the following day.
Additionally, you can offer your customers the convenience of placing orders outside of your regular opening hours. To enable this feature:
Access Pre-Orders Settings: Go to: Stores > Store Settings > Pre-orders
Enable Ordering Outside Regular Hours: Toggle the button located next to "Enable to allow customers to order outside of venue opening hours."
With this feature turned on, your customers can place orders even when your venue is not traditionally open.
By following these steps, you'll have full control over your store's opening hours, including seamless management of extended hours that cross over into the following day. Your customers will appreciate the accurate information, and you'll be able to better meet their needs.
