There are several parameters that can be added to a base URL to create different experiences based on the context in which a customer is opening your web app. Below we outline one such parameter that can be used to pre-select an order type for the customer.
You won't break anything if you make a mistake while setting up a URL; just be sure to test it yourself before you share it. If you need any help please don't hesitate to contact us!
Pre-select an order type
Pass customers straight into the web app with different order types pre-selected depending on the context or entry point, be it your website or a piece of collateral in the venue.
Parameter
?order_type=
When to use this
- QR codes on table menus to pre-select the table service order type
- Adding separate buttons for Order Pickup & Order Delivery on your website
Building the order type URL
- Identify your base URL (your unique menu URL)
- Add the following to the end of your base URL:
?order_type= - Finally, add a supported order type:
pickup,deliver_address,deliver_table
For the deliver_table order type, you can optionally append &table_number= with a number (up to three digits) to also pre-fill the table number for the customer. This is only recommended when the QR code is permanently attached to a specific table somehow.
Base URLs
If you're using a Bopple marketplace listing (unbranded), simply use your unique venue menu URL. You can find this on the left hand side of your venue profile on manager.bopple.me or by opening your venue menu on bopple.app
Examples (unbranded > direct-to-menu):
- https://bopple.app/menu/4954?order_type=deliver_ address
- https://bopple.app/menu/4423?order_type=deliver_table
- https://bopple.app/menu/4423?order_type=deliver_table&table_number=12
If you have a branded web app, you can also send the customer direct to your venue menu page(s), or if you have multiple sites in your app you can link to the venue list.
