Step-by-step guide
How to set up an online ordering system?
You can set up a commission-free online ordering system under your own brand in a few steps: domain, menu, payment, delivery and marketplace integration.
Short answer
To set up an online ordering system you first create an ordering channel under your own brand and domain; then you upload the menu, configure payment and delivery methods, connect orders to the kitchen/panel and, if you wish, add marketplace integrations. With a white-label infrastructure these steps are usually completed within a few days.
Before you start
Setup does not require building software from scratch. With a white-label ordering infrastructure you use a ready, proven system under your own brand; technical maintenance and updates stay with the provider.
What you need: business details, a menu and price list, your preferred payment method and delivery zones. The steps below summarize a typical setup.
Setup steps
Follow these steps to set up your own online ordering system:
-
Define your brand and domain
Set your ordering channel's own domain, logo and colors so the customer sees your brand.
-
Upload the menu and prices
Enter categories, items, images, options (extras, sizes) and prices in the panel.
-
Configure payment methods
Enable online card payment and pay-on-delivery options; integrate a payment provider.
-
Set delivery and pickup
Define delivery zones, minimum basket, delivery fee and pickup/table options.
-
Connect orders to kitchen and panel
Make incoming orders drop onto the kitchen display (KDS), a printer or the order panel.
-
Publish and integrate marketplaces
Publish the ordering channel; optionally connect channels like Yemeksepeti, Trendyol, Getir and Migros to one panel.
