Online Ordering is Ordin’s main feature.

Preparing a POS Store

In order to start accepting online orders, a store has to be setup in the POS backoffice.

Setting up online ordering

All stores from the POS Backoffice will be shown in the Ordin Backoffice. Click the edit icon to bring up the Store Settings:

This is how you configure a store to start accepting online orders:

• At the very top, under “General settings” make sure that the store is active and that the website is enabled. With these settings enabled, a menu page will be created for this store.

  

• Make sure that the store has opening hours, to show when the store is open and when orders can be placed. If no opening hours are defined in the POS back office, then these can be defined directly in Ordin. You can read more about opening hours further down.

• Orders settings contain some additional information for the website.

  • The URL name is the name of the store as it should appear in the URL.
  • Fill out the store message to have a message appear at the very top of the website containing general information.
  • The control report url can be filled out with a link to a regulatory website, such as the danish “Smiley report”.
  • Make sure the Online Ordering available is enabled, otherwise the store will appear as being closed.
