Take orders on Shopify POS

Pick a schedule, browse the Zapiet Eats menu, add items and options, and send the order to the Shopify POS cart.

Written by Andy Cargill

Use the Menu tile to take a pick-up, delivery, or dine-in order on Shopify POS. Staff choose the service and time, browse the menu for that slot, add items and options, and send everything to the POS cart.

When the cart already has items, Done closes the menu. Zapiet Eats keeps the schedule if those items are still in the cart, so staff can reopen Menu without choosing the time again.

Before you begin

  • Add the Menu tile. See Set up Shopify POS for Zapiet Eats.

  • Enable Pick-up, Delivery, or Dine-in on the location linked to this POS.

  • Attach a published menu with a schedule for that service.

  • For delivery, add a customer with a delivery address to the cart first.

Take a menu order

  1. On Shopify POS, tap Menu.

  2. Tap Pickup, Delivery, or Dine-in.

  3. Check the location. For pick-up or delivery, choose ASAP or Later under When. For Later, select a Date and Time when those fields are shown. For dine-in, tap Select table and choose a table.

  4. If more than one menu is available, select the menu.

  5. Tap Start order.

  6. Browse by section, or search the menu.

  7. Tap an item.

  8. Choose variants, options, or a combo if the item offers them.

  9. Tap Add to cart.

  10. When the cart has items, tap Done.

The menu closes and the items stay in the Shopify POS cart. Staff then take payment in POS as usual.

If the cart is empty, use Edit to return to the schedule screen.

Combos and choice bundles

If a product is a combo or choice bundle, staff pick the included choices in the same item screen, then add it to the cart. For how to build those products, see Create product bundles.

Keep the schedule while the cart has items

If staff reopen Menu while the cart still has items, Zapiet Eats restores the last schedule. They do not have to pick the date, time, and service again.

When the cart is emptied, the saved schedule is cleared.

Schedule an existing cart

If items are already in the cart and you only need a pick-up or delivery schedule, or a dine-in table, use the Schedule order tile instead.

  1. Add items to the cart.

  2. Tap Schedule order.

  3. Tap Pickup, Delivery, or Dine-in from the services available at the location.

  4. Check the location. Select a date and time when shown, or choose a table for dine-in.

  5. Tap Save.

For delivery, add a customer with a delivery address before saving the schedule. Menu lets you browse the available menu first; Schedule order adds fulfilment details to items already in the cart.
