Handling customer exclusions and replacements is a vital aspect of personalising the delivery experience in Ooooby. While customers currently cannot add their own exclusions directly, they can request them via email, and you can record these preferences on their accounts. This guide details how to record both one-off and ongoing exclusions, as well as replacements, to ensure customer satisfaction.
Recording Customer Exclusions Before Closing the Orders
Access the Customer's Account: Navigate to the customer's account details.
Subscriptions: Click on 'Edit' in the Subscriptions box, typically found in the top right.
Manage Exclusions: Select 'Manage exclusions' to view options for adding exclusions.
Select Manage exclusions
Add Exclusions:
For ongoing exclusions, choose 'Add Ongoing Exclusion'.
For one-time exclusions, select 'Show Once-off Exclusions'.
Specify the Exclusion: Enter the first three letters of the item in the pop-up box and select the correct item from the dropdown list.
Save: Confirm the exclusion by pressing 'Save'.
Removing Exclusions: Exclusions can be removed at any time by clicking the 'Remove' button next to an item.
When Two Exclusion Sections Appear
As you approach an order date, you may notice that the exclusions page displays two separate sections:
The top section reflects the customer’s ongoing exclusions.
The bottom section applies to only the upcoming order and overrides the top section for that week.
This setup allows for temporary changes like:
“Please skip potatoes only for the next week.”
“I usually don’t want celery, but I’d like it this week.”
Important: If you see both sections, make sure to fill them both in. If you don’t update the bottom section, the system will prioritise it over the top, and no exclusions may be applied for the next order.
Two exclusion sections are shown—top for ongoing, bottom for next order only.
