If you have some products that require a different preparation time than others, you can use product-specific preparation time.
You can add individual products or product tags.
Requirements
You need to be on the Advanced plan or higher with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
You need to enable preparation times within the location settings to access the product specific preparation time feature.
Enable product-specific preparation time for store pickup
Click Locations, then select the location you want to edit.
Under the Store pickup section, click Edit settings.
Make sure that Pickup preparation time setting is enabled.
In the Product-specific pickup preparation time section you can:

Add individual products
Within Specific products, click + Add pickup preparation time.
Select the product(s) which need specific preparation time and click Add.
Product-specific prep time can be added to product variants only if product availability is set to specific variants.
Set the preparation time and the time interval for each product. You can also apply the same preparation time for all products you've added.
If the product specific preparation time is shorter than your general preparation time, the product specific preparation time will be applied to those products in our widget by default.
Click Done.
Click Save.

Requirements
You need to use a regular cart (this option will not work reliably in the drawer cart).
Within Product tag(s), click + Add delivery preparation time.
Add the tag and set the preparation time and the time interval for your tagged products.
Values added here are case-sensitive, so make sure that the value matches the tag exactly.

Click Save.
Limitations
This feature is not currently available for shipping.
Specific product preparation times do not have a cut-off time.
If you're using a drawer cart, our product-specific preparation time will only reliably work by specific products or variants. If you would like to use product-specific preparation time by product tag(s), you will need to use our app in the regular cart.
Product specific preparation time will not work as expected if you are using any additional apps that create hidden products, for example SC Product Options fka Bold.
Product-specific prep time can be added to product variants only when product availability is set to specific variants. If you use a different product availability setting or the Shopify inventory integration, then your preparation time will apply to whole products.
