Presale: How to Set Up a Presale in Per Diem

You can choose between two presale types:

• Custom Date Presale
  
• Weekly Presale
  

Each option gives you flexibility based on how you want to collect orders and schedule fulfillment.

‍

Where to Find Presale:

To access presale settings, go to:

Dashboard → Operations → Presale

From there, you can choose the presale type you want to configure.

‍

Custom Date Presale

Use Custom Date Presale when you want to collect orders for one specific date.

This is helpful for:

• Holidays
  
• Special events
  
• Limited-time menu drops
  
• One-time preorder campaigns
  
  

With this option, you can set a single presale date and define the ordering and pickup details for that event.

‍

Weekly Presale

Use Weekly Presale when you want presale orders to repeat on a recurring schedule each week.
This is useful for:

• Weekly specials
  
• Regular preorder items
  
• Recurring bakery or pastry pickups
  
• Planned menu drops on specific days
  

Weekly presale allows you to assign certain days as ordering days and a separate day as the pickup day.
