The same as 'Accept & dispatch'. The difference is that 'New' orders will be ignored by Shiptheory until they are marked to 'Accepted' in your NotOnTheHighStreet account.
Dispatch Cutoff Time
This time will determine whether Shiptheory will calculate the dispatch time from the current day or a day in the future. Shiptheory will assumes that no orders are dispatched on the weekends.
Order Processing Days
