How do I change the tip percentages customers can choose at checkout?

Tip percentages are set in the Tipping section of the Checkout settings.

  1. On the Checkout settings, click Tipping.

How do I let customers enter a discount code at checkout?

  2. Tick Show Discount Code.

  3. Click Save Changes.

The Order Summary at checkout now shows a Have a coupon code? link. Untick Show Discount Code and save to remove it. To create the codes themselves, see the article Creating a Discount/Coupon Code.

How do I let customers choose a pickup time?

Pickup time selection is turned on in the Allow Future Pickups section of the Checkout settings.

  1. On the Checkout settings, click Allow Future Pickups.

  2. Tick Enable Future Pickup Time Selection.

  3. In Maximum orders per time slot, type how many orders can be scheduled for the same time slot.

  4. In Slot Duration, choose the length of each pickup slot: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours.

  5. Click Save Changes.

The Allow Future Pickups section with the enable checkbox, Maximum orders per time slot and Slot Duration

At checkout, customers see Choose a Pickup Time with a Select Day row of days to pick from.

How do I choose which contact fields customers fill in?

Extra contact fields are controlled in the Contact Information section of the Checkout settings.

The Contact Information section with Company Name, Address Line 2, Shipping Address and Shipping Phone Number lists

Each of the four fields, Company Name, Address Line 2, Shipping Address and Shipping Phone Number, has a list with three choices:

  • Don't Include – the field is not shown at checkout.

  • Optional – the field is shown and the customer may leave it empty.

  • Required – the field is shown as a required field.

For example, setting Company Name to Optional and saving adds a Company Name box under Full Name and Email at checkout.

What is in the Contact Method section?

The Contact Method section of the Checkout settings sets how customers identify themselves and what happens after they order.

The Contact Method section with the Phone Or Email and Email choices and four checkboxes

  • Phone Or Email or Email – choose one.

  • Show track order link to customer after pay

  • Auto send receipt link via SMS after order

  • Auto send order confirmation email after checkout

  • Login Required

What is in the Marketing section?

The Marketing section of the Checkout settings has a Show Marketing Channel checkbox and three choices for the channel: SMS, Email or Email & SMS.

How do I set up auto gratuity?

Auto gratuity is set up in the Auto Gratuity section of the Checkout settings. The section explains that, when enabled on POS table orders, staff are asked for the guest count and the matching party-size gratuity is added to the check.

Note: auto gratuity applies to POS table orders, which depend on table management. Stackably does not offer table management, so this setting has no effect; leave it off.

  1. On the Checkout settings, click Auto Gratuity.

  2. Tick Enable Auto Gratuity. Tiers appear underneath.

  3. For each tier, type the party size in Guests (the + means that many guests or more) and the percentage in Tip Percent.

  4. Click Add Tier to add another party size, or Remove to delete a tier.

  5. Click Save Changes.

The Auto Gratuity section with Enable Auto Gratuity ticked and a tier of 8 guests at 20 percent

How do I change the colours and fonts of the checkout page?

Checkout colours are in the Background & Colors section and checkout fonts are in the Font Family section of the Checkout settings.

The Background and Colors section with Show logo, Background Image, Background Color, Header Text Color and Body Text Color

  • Show logo – a checkbox for showing your logo on the checkout page.

  • Background Image – click Upload to choose an image.

  • Background Color, Header Text Color and Body Text Color – click a colour square or type a colour code such as #FFFFFF.

The Font Family section with Font Family Header, Font Size Header, Font Family Body and Font Size Body

  • Font Family Header and Font Size Header – the font and size of headings.

  • Font Family Body and Font Size Body – the font and size of the rest of the text.

Click Save Changes when you have finished.
