Add pickup later attributes using attribute rules and conditions

For better accuracy and management of data, we highly recommend adding required attributes directly to your data source, the attribute rules can be used to supplement your existing product data. Conditions can be added in front of an operation to filter items in your feed that meet certain criteria of your choosing. You can use conditions to apply pickup later attributes to a subset of your products.

The following steps will apply pickup method [pickup_method] and pickup SLA [pickup_SLA] to a subset of your items in your data source. You should only include pickup later attributes for products that are available for pickup later. If there are differences between your stores, we recommend adding this information in your inventory data.
