Manage your store’s workload by setting limits on how many pickup orders you accept per day or per timeslot.
Setting Capacity
Go to Settings → Pickups in Alpaca.
For each schedule, set the maximum orders per timeslot (e.g., only 3 pickups per 30-minute window).
To limit daily pickups for a location, set a daily maximum in the location settings.
Why Use Capacity Limits?
Prevent overbooking during busy hours.
Give your staff time to prepare each order.
Spread out pickups for a smooth customer experience.
Pro Tip:
If a timeslot or day reaches its limit, customers won’t be able to book that time.
