Lag time API overview

Lag time is the number of days between the date an item is ordered and when it is shipped.

During item setup, lag time can be set to 0 days or 1 day. Any other value used will be defaulted to 1 day.

To request more than 1 day lag time, approval is required at the item setup category level. For more information on the approval process, see Marketplace Learn: Request Lag Time Exceptions.
