How to Set Shop Hours and Special Dates on Cartily

Regular hours help customers decide when to visit. Cartily can use a weekly schedule to change your shop’s availability automatically; you can still make a temporary change when the day does not go to plan.

How to set regular shop hours on Cartily

  1. Sign in, open My shop, choose your shop and go to Edit shop → Hours.

  2. Under Same hours every day, enter the opening and closing times. Choose Use for every day if all seven days match, or Use for weekdays for Monday through Friday.

    Cartily Regular hours editor with the opening-time field outlined and numbered 1 and Use for weekdays outlined and numbered 2.
    1 Enter the opening time and closing time. 2 Copy the schedule to weekdays, or choose every day.
  3. Adjust any individual day, add a second window if you close for lunch, then save your opening hours. Leave a day without a window when you are normally closed.

You can then adjust individual days. Leave a day without opening windows when you do not normally open. If you close for lunch, use the optional second window instead of showing one uninterrupted day.

Add holiday hours and one-off closures

Use a special date for a holiday, a one-off opening or a planned closure. Check that the date and times describe the day you intend. Scheduled hours use the shop’s time zone, rather than a visitor’s device clock.

Do not list a weekly opening just because you might have stock. If you open irregularly, announcing each opening may give customers a more accurate picture.

How to change your shop status today

A temporary close or opening can override the regular schedule. Check the confirmation and the time the override ends, so you know when the usual schedule resumes.

Opening hours and stock are different. A shop may have hours set but be sold out of the items whose stock it counts. Leaving quantities uncounted is an option when you do not want inventory tracking.

Check hours and pickup instructions as a visitor

Add pickup instructions and a way to contact you so customers know how to arrange a visit.

After saving, check the public profile. If you use phone opening alerts, test one from a second account before asking your customers to rely on them.
