How can I add a time delay when exporting my Shopify orders to my 3PL or warehouse system?
You may want to add a delay to your order CSV exports based on the order's created date if you allow your customers to edit or cancel orders within a certain time period so you don't accidentally fulfill them.
For example, the customer may have forgotten to add an item or they realize you offer free shipping if they purchase a certain amount. So instead of placing a new order, they'd want to edit the last one they placed instead.
In this scenario, you'd want to add a delay to your automated order expors to your warehouse or 3PL based on the order's creation/placement date. This would ensure that exported orders are past the point of editing and cancellation before the warehouse starts the fulfillment process.
To add this time delay with EZ Exporter, please see this detailed guide.
