Pre-Requisites
1. Ensure you have reviewed Getting Started with the Doshii Partner API, and are supporting either WebHooks or WebSockets for async communication. You can only submit orders to locations that you have subscribed to, so it is imperative to have first implemented Onboarding.
2. Familiarise yourself with the Doshii Sequence Diagrams for Create Order, Create Prepaid Order and Create Order Payments.
3. Understand the order status lifecycles, and who is responsible for the transitions: Order Status Flows
4. Review Doshii's API concepts, especially:
5. Check out some of the Frequently Asked Questions
- What are "variants" and "options" on an item?
- Why can't I change the status on a transaction or order
- Can I send items with a different price to the menu item or variant?
- What do values represent?
6. Review functionality of the Trial Dashboard that will help you with your development.
Certification
To complete Doshii Certification for Order Ahead, here is a broad scope of the use cases we test for:
Considerations
1. For dine in orders, you may wish to additionally implement the retrieval of the POS Tables and subsequently create a Check In against the table. Review Check In Statuses, and ensure a check in is created prior to the order.
2. Synchronise the POS menu to have the POS validate the items on the order. Alternatively, you may submit 'open items' by excluding the posId from the item.
3. Each order should subsequently be paid for by the submission of one or multiple transactions. You can submit prepaid transactions, or submit a transaction and process it once the customer is ready to pay. Review the transaction status flow, or the implementation of POS-Initiated Payments.
