Preview your ordering page
Walk your ordering page exactly as a diner sees it, without placing a real order.
Preview lets you scan, browse, add to cart and reach the payment step just like a diner, but in a safe mode that never charges a card or creates an order. It is the best way to do a dry run before you open.
Who can do this
This needs the Manage Venue Theme permission. Venue owners have it automatically.
Steps
- Go to Settings -> Theme.
- Click Preview.
- Choose how to view it:
- Open in new window to walk the flow right here.
- Show QR code to scan it on your phone and try it on a real handset.
- Browse the menu, add a few items, and go through to the payment step.
How to know it worked
You can move through the whole flow, and the payment step makes clear it is a preview. No order shows up in Service -> Orders, and no card is charged.
Why nothing gets charged
Preview runs on a one-time, no-charge session. It is built to be safe to share and safe to test with, so you can hand the QR to a colleague without any risk of a real order.
