✨ Update: Brand Lead ETA (Freight Rules + Surcharges)

What’s New

• Improved ETA calculation across the website and POS using:

  • Stock availability

  • Vendor lead time

  • Freight ETA

  • Delivery zone (local vs non-local)

• Freight-related delivery fees are now applied and displayed more accurately during ordering

• New vendor configuration: “Ship Directly to Customer” to control fulfillment flow

Behavior Updates

• ETA is now calculated consistently across:

  • In-stock vs vendor-fulfilled items

  • Local vs non-local deliveries

• Vendor fulfillment path impacts ETA:

  • Direct shipping → excludes warehouse inbound time

  • Warehouse routing → includes inbound handling time

• Freight fees are applied for qualifying scenarios (e.g., non-local delivery) and shown in both the Website and the POS

• Multi-item / multi-vendor orders may include combined vendor-based surcharge calculations

• Reporting reflects the same ETA and delivery fee logic used during checkout and order creation

Why This Matters

• Improves consistency and predictability of delivery timelines

• Ensures delivery fees are applied more accurately

• Aligns checkout, POS, and reporting with the same fulfillment logic
