Setup a Catalog For Your Store

Adding Items

We have comprehensive documentation to help walk you through creating items for your location.

When leveraging our Orders API, the main thing to consider when creating new items is to ensure they are assigned to the Venue & Vendor that you plan to order with, otherwise your orders will be rejected due to "missing" items.

Lastly, make sure your items are Active - if they are not, they will not be available for processing a transaction

Adding Item Sets & Modifiers

Modifiers will need to be setup with the "New Mods" format - please see this article that explains Item Sets in full detail.

🚧

Limitations

• Only Enterprise Item Sets / Modifiers are supported by our APIs, and the Classic style of modifiers are not. Please sync with your SpotOn representative to ensure your items setup will work with the APIs.
• We recommend setting up items sets/modifiers/items at the corporate level (rather than venue level), and overriding values when needed. Reason why: we're underway improving our Backoffice Item and Modifier management, which will only support a "corporate" level (but still retain vendor level overrides). We will still support all current venue capabilities, but through a simplified and more capable approach that leverages a "corporate" level item instead.
