Allow 0 day handling time

No description provided
Current Problem

Currently in Mintsoft, Handling Time (Days) must be set, and the value must be between 1 and 365. We dispatch orders same day, so our Handling Time (days) is zero (0). Same-day dispatch is obviously very common in retail, so it’s unfortunate that Mintsoft is currently unable to accommodate this real-world scenario.

This feature improvement request is to either

  1. Expand the allowable value for this field to include 0

  2. Allow the field to blank/empty, or

  3. Both 1 and 2

Why is this important?

This is crucially important for marketplaces including Amazon. With Amazon, handling and delivery times have a massive impact on which seller wins the Buy Box. After price, they are the most important factors.

Sellers who can get orders to customers faster stand a better chance of winning the Buy Box. We have a best-in-class warehouse operation with same-day despatch, but we’re telling Amazon that it takes us 1 day to despatch orders. This is negatively impacting our Buy Box chances which is directly impacting our sales levels.

Idea to resolve Problem 1) Expand the allowable value for this field to include zero (0), 2) Allow the field to blank/empty, or 3) Both 1 and 2
