Date availability

Time slots

Updated 19 August 2026

Let customers choose a delivery window as well as a day, for example "Saturday, 10:00–12:00" instead of just "Saturday".

Available on the Organised plan and above.

Set it up

Open Date availability and find Time slots.
Turn time slots on and define your windows:
- Start time and End time of the deliverable day.
- Time slot duration: Flare divides the day into slots of this length. Two-hour windows from 08:00–18:00 give five slots.
Click Save.

A "Select a time slot" dropdown (label editable) appears under the calendar once a date is chosen.

The chosen slot is written to the order alongside the date (attribute __flare_time_slot) and shows on the thank-you page and order status page.
Pickup has its own time windows configured in the Pickup tab, so collection hours can differ from delivery hours. See Store pickup.
Time slots are informational scheduling for your ops team. They do not carry separate per-slot capacity. Order limits cap the day as a whole.

Keep slots realistic: fewer, wider windows fail less often than many narrow ones.
Put the slot into your delivery paperwork by including the order attributes in your pick and pack flow. See order tags and attributes.
