Can I add production lead time to the date picker?
Yes. Print It My Way's date picker has minimum lead time in days — customer can't book below your threshold.
Can I charge extra for gluten-free or dairy-free?
Yes. Each allergy checkbox can have its own upcharge via Cart Transform.
How do I cap orders per delivery day?
Print It My Way's time-slot booking lets you set a capacity per slot (e.g. 3 cakes per morning).
Can the cake message have a character limit?
Yes. Set a hard limit (typical 20 chars for cake tops) with a live character counter.
Does per-serving pricing require separate SKUs?
Native size variants are cleanest. For extra tiered pricing beyond that (e.g. 'add extra tier' upcharge), use Cart Transform via Print It My Way.
