What does Dynamic pricing apply to?

Dynamic  pricing applies to all your item and option/variant pricing.  Your entire menu will increase by the percentage amount you nominate.

Can I have some apps with Dynamic pricing, but not others?

No, Dynamic pricing will be applied across all of your compatible app menus.

Editing Menu Pricing while Dynamic pricing is active

While you have Dynamic pricing turned on, you can edit item names, descriptions and images as normal, but you cannot edit any pricing on that app menu.  If you need to make changes to your app menu pricing:

  1. Turn the Dynamic pricing off
  2. Make your app menu pricing changes
  3. Turn the Dynamic pricing back on 
This ensures that your Dynamic pricing is a consistent percentage across your entire app menu. 

What about Doshii Dashboard? 

Doshii Dashboard is our legacy menu management system and we recommend all changes for Uber, DoorDash and Menulog menus be made in our Menu Manager product. If you are using Doshii Dashboard for menu edits, you cannot access our Dynamic Pricing feature. Doshii Dashboard supports view-only for this feature.

If Dynamic pricing has been applied to your menu via our Menu Manager product, you will be able to see this in Doshii Dashboard in the pricing column, designated by a percentage (%) sign.

If Dynamic pricing is active, you will not be able to make changes to your pricing in Doshii Dashboard until the Dynamic pricing is turned off in our Menu Manager product, following the process outlined above.
