Dispatch API - phoneAccessCode
Ordering platforms often don't provide a customer's personal number but instead will send a general call centre number and provide a phone access code to contact them.
Update Courier Status Endpoint
A new endpoint is now available for channel partners who also manage delivery of orders to send through the status of the delivery job. These updates will show on Deliverect and on our Delivery Manage App (DMA)
New Dispatch attribute "ageCheck"
For customers offering products which come with an age restriction e.g. alcohol, tobacco etc, it may be required for proof of age to be presented on delivery.
Driver Tip now included in Dispatch API
Online ordering platforms will in certain cases provide a tip intended for the courier who is handling the delivery.
"_id" in POST Snoozed Products webhook URL
We are deprecating the attribute _id in the snooze request. This is currently part of the POST Snoozed Products documentation under Channel API.
Dispatch API-driver status update "Courier_Arrived"
We are deprecating driver status update "courier_arrived" with value 75. We recommend to use "arrived_at_pickup" with value 85 instead.
Nutritional Information
Our partners can now pass product nutritional information via our API. This is becoming more and more important and sometimes required from local legislation. To facilitate this, we have implemented this feature for both POS and Channel API partners.
Important Changes to Oauth
By September 30th, 2022, we will be amending the Oauth response to express the expires_in
attribute in seconds remaining e.g. 86400 will indicate the amount of seconds that the token is still valid.
Channel generated discounts
Up until now we were not supporting any discounts that originated by our channel partners e.g. Glovo will send discounts which they absorb the cost of.
Menu attribute 'sortOrder'
As of 5th April 2022, we are removing the attribute sortOrder
in the channel menu push
