Setup Donation Accept By Times

Useful information for food banks and donor organisations.

  • The Accept By Time on a donation is the amount of time by which a donation must be accepted before it can no longer be accepted.

    • It is by default set at 30 minutes before the end of the Collection Window. Typically this allows charities time to Accept and Collect a food offer before the store closes.

  • The configuration setting made will be made across all of the organisation’s donor branches.

  • A donor organisation can now configure their Accept By Time for all of their donor branches to be between zero and 90 minutes before the Collection Window ends.

    • This setting will override the default Accept By Time of 30 minutes before the end of the Collection Window.

The Accept By Time is set at an organisation level. If a branch wants to use a custom Accept By Time, they can customise this when choosing a Donation Transfer Window.
