## Delivery Period Pricing Rules

Delivery Period pricing rules define available delivery dates for products or minimum allowed times between deliveries.

#### Allowed Delivery Periods

Order admins can use Allowed Delivery Periods to prevent delivery dates from being selected when products are out of stock, off season, or in a pre-order period.

Unlike other pricing rules, order admins can create multiple Allowed Delivery Period pricing rules with overlapping start dates and end dates. For example, order admins can create two Allowed Delivery Period pricing rules with overlapping start dates and end dates to allow delivery for a product in June and August, but not July.

#### Minimum Delivery Periods

Order admins can use Minimum Delivery Periods to minimize shipping costs and avoid excess inventory. For example, order admins can create a Delivery Period pricing rule to restrict delivery orders from being scheduled within 30 days of each other.

Minimum Delivery Period pricing rules can overlap with Allowed Delivery Period pricing rules but not other Minimum Delivery Period pricing rules.
