1. Stride POS allows you to ship a product later. This can be used to create shipments in the inventory module that will be fulfilled later (special orders, out of stock, etc.)

This feature is turned on by accessing the configuration for each POS register. To turn on this feature follow the next few steps.

2. In the POS Dashboard Click "Configuration"

3. Click "Settings" and make sure to choose which POS Register you will be editing.

4. Navigate to the inventory section and enable the "Allow Ship Later" feature.

The default warehouse will be your main store warehouse. If you are using multi-warehouse you can select a different warehouse to ship from.

Choose your shipping policy.

-When All Products Are Ready: Will only mark an order as ready to ship if all products are in stock and ready to ship
-As Soon as Possible: Will mark delivery order as ready to ship as soon as one product becomes available. Backorders will be created if not all products ordered are shipped.

5. If shipping later a customer must be selected. In the POS cart screen Click "Customer". Note, a customer can also be selected at the time of payment.

6. Choose your customer.

7. Add items to the cart.

NOTE* - Stride POS Ship later will not add shipping charges at the time of checkout. If you will be charging the customer for shipping you will need to set up a separate shipping product.
