How to set Auto-apply Modifiers

Introduction

There can be a use case where products ordered online should be received with a pre-defined set of sub products applied. This is not the same as items being pre-selected in the menu interface via defaultQuantity, but is a mechanism for specific items to be auto-applied (by Deliverect) following a completed order.

This is shown in the example below, where the Parsley Garnish and Melted Butter are within a modifier group 'Garnishes' which is set to apply these items automatically when the Steak Frites is ordered.

Note that "defaultQuantity": 3 is shown below and defines how many of the item should be auto-applied to the order. The "sortOrder" attribute allows a 'stepped' order of the auto-applied items to appear, where 0 is the first item to be listed.

NB: Neither the channel platform or end-consumer will see the auto-applied items, and as such there can be no price associated with them. If de-selection of pre-set items or charging for them is a requirement,"defaultQuantity" can be used without "autoApply" (See 'Item Rules').

"autoApply": [
    {
        "plu": "PR1"
    },
    {
        "plu": "PR2"
    }
],

{
    "productType": 2,
    "plu": "PR1",
    "price": 0,
    "name": "Parsley",
    "posProductId": "PA_POS-0023",
    "posCategoryIds": "",
    "imageUrl": "",
    "description": "",
    "deliveryTax": 0,
    "takeawayTax": 0,
    "subProducts": [],
    "defaultQuantity": 3,
    "sortOrder": 1
}
