Customers can easily snooze or skip heir upcoming order with the press of a button. This can be done from the Self Service Center. Or directly from a hotlink in an email.
How does snoozing and skipping work?
Snoozing and skipping applies on all product scheduled to be shipped in the upcoming order moment. Products with a different shipment date than the earliest upcoming order are not impacted.
Customers have two options to postpone their upcoming order:
Snooze the upcoming order date for 1 week
Skip the next order they would normally get according to their regular order schedule
What if there are products with varying frequencies in the subscription?
If the subscription contains a combination of shipment frequencies, then the product with the smallest frequency is used to skip the next order. For example:
Product A with frequency "every 2 weeks" and upcoming shipment date of 30 December 2024.
Product B with frequency "every 4 weeks" and upcoming shipment date of 30 December 2024.
Product C with frequency "every quarter" and upcoming shipment date of "5 January 2025
When snooze a week is chosen, then Product A and product B's next shipment date will be moved to 6 January 2024 (7 days).
When skip next order is chosen, then Product A and B will both be moved forward 2 weeks to the 13th of January, as this is the smallest frequency (from Product A) in the upcoming order. This makes sure all expected products in the next order are still aligned and are skipped together to the next order moment.
Product C is not impacted because it does not have the same upcoming shipment date as Product A and B.
