It is important to differentiate between the preparation time and the delivery time to provide as much detail as possible to various platforms.
The preparation time: It corresponds to the time between receiving the order at your end and the moment you ship it.
The delivery time: It corresponds to the time it will take for the carrier to deliver the order once it has been shipped by your services.
For the preparation time, you have the "leadtime-to-ship" field that allows you to enter the time via the "Mapping" tab for platforms using Mirakl:
In general, this field is initially mapped with your delivery time field from your source feed.
Attention: Most platforms expect only a numerical value. If your time includes terms like "days" or "hours," for example, you will need to use a rule to remove these labels.
For the delivery time, it is managed directly on Mirakl, according to the logistics classes you have activated. Feel free to read our tutorial for assistance on this matter.
