+Ship later
+==========
+
+The **Ship Later** feature allows you to sell products and schedule delivery at a later date. It is
+useful, for example, when a product is out of stock or so voluminous that it requires to be shipped,
+or if, for any reason, the customer needs their order to be shipped later, etc.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+:ref:`Go to the POS settings <configuration/settings>`, scroll down to the :guilabel:`Inventory`
+section, and enable :guilabel:`Allow Ship Later`.

+
+Once activated, you can:
+
+- Choose the location from where the products are shipped by selecting a :guilabel:`Warehouse`.
+- Define a :guilabel:`Specific route`, or leave this field empty to use the default route.
+- Define the :guilabel:`Shipping Policy`; select :guilabel:`As soon as possible` if the products
+  can be delivered separately or :guilabel:`When all products are ready` to ship all the products at
+  once.
+
+.. seealso::
