# 🚀 Location How to Set Product-Based Overrides

Some products play by different rules — a custom cake needs two days of prep, or fresh flowers can't be delivered on Mondays 🎂🌸

**Product Overrides** let you apply special scheduling rules to specific products, identified by their Shopify product tags, without changing the location's general settings.

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

* 🟢 Enable a product override  
* 🏷️ Target products using tags  
* ⚙️ Configure each override type

---

# **📋 Before You Begin**

* You've created a location and configured its general slots, prep time, and blackout dates  
* The products you want to override have **tags** assigned in Shopify (e.g. `Custom Cake`, `Fresh Flowers`)

---

# **⚙️ Step 1 — Open the Product Override Page**

→ Go to **Settings → Delivery & Pickup** → Click **Edit** on your location → Open the **Product-based overrides** tab

The **Product Overrides** card explains what's possible: "Setup product specific preparation time, blackout dates, fulfillment days, cut off time and product limits."

→ Click **Add product Override** to open the **Product Override Setup** page.

ℹ️ Until you create one, the card shows: "You have not setup any product specific overrides."

---

# **🟢 Step 2 — Enable the Override**

At the top of the **Product Override Setup** page, use the toggle next to **Product Override Type** to switch the override on.

The badge shows **Enabled** (green) or **Disabled** (red) — you can prepare an override and keep it disabled until you're ready.

---

# **🔘 Step 3 — Choose the Override Type**

Use the dropdown to pick what this override changes:

* **Fulfillment days** → these products can only be delivered/picked up on certain days of the week  
* **Preparation time** → these products need extra prep days before their slots appear  
* **Blackout specific dates and time** → these products can't be ordered on specific dates/times  
* **Day wise cut off time** → these products get their own order cut off time  
* **Day wise product limit** → limits per day for these products

---

# **🏷️ Step 4 — Add Product Tags**

In the **Product Tags** card:

→ Type one or more tags into the field — separate multiple tags with commas, e.g. `Vintage, Summer` → Click **Add**

Tags appear as removable badges (click the ✕ to remove one). The override applies to products carrying these tags.

⚠️ Tags must match your Shopify product tags exactly — double-check spelling and capitalization in **Shopify Admin → Products**.

ℹ️ Until tags are added, the card shows: "Tags are yet to be added."

---

# **⚙️ Step 5 — Configure the Selected Override Type**

The settings below the tags change based on the type you picked:

## **🗓️ Fulfillment Days**

→ Under **Select pickup/delivery days**, tick the days of the week these products can be scheduled (Monday–Sunday, multi-select).

*Example: a bakery item only available Friday–Sunday.*

## **⏳ Preparation Time**

→ Enter **Preparation time for an order** (in **days**).

ℹ️ As the helper text explains: "Eg: If 1 day. order slots after 1 day will be shown to customers" — with `1`, customers only see slots from the day after tomorrow onward for these products.

## **🚫 Blackout Specific Dates and Time**

Works just like location-level blackouts, but only for the tagged products:

→ Under **How do you want to blackout?** choose **Date range** or **Date range with time slots** → Pick the dates on the calendar and click **Add** → For time-based blackouts, adjust **Start Time** and **End Time** on each entry; remove entries with the ✕ button

*Example: block a supplier's holiday week for imported products only.*

For a full walkthrough of blackout options, see *Location: How to Block Specific Dates and Times*.

## **⏰ Day Wise Cut Off Time**

→ Set the **Cut off time** — the latest time of day orders containing these products can be placed ("Cut off time for orders with overridden products").

## **🔢 Day Wise Product Limit**

ℹ️ Selecting this type currently shows no additional settings on the page — the daily limit behavior is applied to the tagged products without extra configuration UI.

---

# **💾 Final Step — Save**

→ Click **Save** in the save bar at the top of the page. → Use the back arrow to return to **Settings** when you're done.

---

# **🎉 Final Result**

Once saved:

✅ Tagged products follow their own scheduling rules ✅ The rest of your catalog keeps using the location's standard settings ✅ You can disable the override anytime without deleting it ✅ Prep-heavy or restricted products never slip into slots they can't fulfill
