Subscription (selling plan) with specific time of day

Hi, I've been creating subscription app. 

 

Within selling plan API, I know I can specify which day of a week the order will be placed. 

However, I do not know if there is a way to specify which time of a day it will be placed. 

 

2 reasons. 

Recurring orders must be placed before morning so all items can be shipped on time. 

If the order is placed too late, we will miss the shipment. 

 

When a cut time is specified on the selling plan, the first order will be placed as scheduled order. 

That is fine, but the timing when the scheduled order becomes "unfulfilled" status is based on the time it was placed. For example, it the customer purchases the subscription at 11pm, the first order stays scheduled untill 11pm, missing the shipment date. 

 

First order and recurring order may function differently, but either way, I would like to find a way to specify the time of a day for the selling plan. 

 

Thanks!

Hi @schokola,

 

Currently subscriptions get billed at 10am the day after they are due.
