Basic Concepts and Data Structure

SUMMARY

Delivery date and time settings are made per group. Group 1 = Standard (the default for products with no link). A group can have slots (the options of the delivery method).

ENTITIES

group:            # internal name: pattern
  ui: Settings → Group Management
  key: group number (1 = Standard)
  has: priority (smaller = higher priority), name, a full set of date/time settings
  note: settings are independent between groups (holidays and so on are not shared)
slot:             # an option of the delivery method. A group can have several
  ui: Settings → Delivery method is Active
  has: title, a full set of date/time settings (separate for each slot)
product_link:     # link between products and groups
  - specified per product in Products Management
  - specified with product tags (tag name → group). "tag::SKU" for a single variant
  - selected by conditions (weight / total price / stock quantity)
  - none of them → Group 1

UI_LABELS

Left menu: Settings / Products to be Hidden / Style / Online Store / Option / Connect(Pro Plan) / CSV / Notification. Buttons at the top of the screen: “Add Tags”, “Contact”.

RULES

C-1  Group 1 is the Standard group and cannot be deleted. A product with no link always becomes Group 1.
C-2  Group settings are independent. The blockout dates of Group 1 are not reflected in Group 2.
C-3  The smaller the priority number, the higher the priority.
C-4  When there are slots, the date/time settings are held per slot.
C-6  When a group is deleted, the product links, tag settings and shipping method customization settings for that group disappear too, and the affected products fall back to Group 1.
C-5  The special product-tag form "tag name::SKU" links only the variant with that SKU to the group.

QA

Q: What is a group? A: The unit for changing the delivery date and time settings per product. The default is Group 1. You link products to groups to use them.
Q: Can customers choose a different delivery date for each product? A: No. One order carries one delivery date and time (R7).
Q: What is the difference between a slot and a group? A: A group is the unit of per-product settings; a slot is an option of the delivery method inside the same group (delivery / store pickup, etc.).

ESCALATE

A field in the admin cannot be found: check the plan (Normal / Pro) and the app version display.
