Greetings,

I am looking to implement some further options for merchnats when creating a selling plan.

I’m curious to understand how the cutoff value of SellingPlanRecurringDeliveryPolicy should be specified. Is this duration expressed in days, cycles, seconds, milliseconds…?

Many thanks.

Hello @kwisk

The cutoff value is expressed in days.

I will look into adding this to the documentation :slightly_smiling_face:
