# Order Ahead

The order Ahead application can be built to work with GoDaddy Poynt in two different ways as shown below

Poynt Register App Integration
Native Order Ahead App Integration

# Register App Integration

An Order Ahead application can be built to work with the on-terminal Poynt Register (opens new window) application. Here are the steps:

The Merchant authorizes the App

The authorization flow is described within the Poynt Cloud API section. In this particular case, the merchant authorizes access to 'Orders' and 'Customers' resources as shown below.

The merchant completes the web-flow using the Merchant Login URL to grant permissions to the Application

The web flow is further described within Integration with Cloud APIs.

Create a Customer

Sample Request:

curl -X POST \
  https://services.poynt.net/businesses/{businessId}/customers \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'api-version: 1.2' \
  -d '{
            "emails": {
                "PERSONAL": {
                "emailAddress": "satya+test@poynt.com"
                }
            },
            "firstName": "Satya",
            "lastName": "Vedule",
            "attributes": {"imageUrl": "https://bit.ly/2IjahBz"}
        }'

Response:

{  
   "businessPreferences":{  

   },
   "id":45494460,
   "emails":{  
      "PERSONAL":{  
         "primary":False,
         "createdAt":"2018-06-20T20:58:15Z",
         "updatedAt":"2018-06-20T20:58:15Z",
         "status":"ADDED",
         "type":"PERSONAL",
         "id":939970,
         "emailAddress":"satya+test1@poynt.com"
      }
   },
   "attributes":{  
      "imageUrl":"https://bit.ly/2IjahBz"
   },
   "firstName":"Satya",
   "lastName":"Vedule",
   "businessId":"{businessId}"
}

The id value (in this case 45494460) corresponds to the customerId. This value can be passed to the Order to display the customer details.

Create an Order

Sample Request:

curl -X POST \
  https://services.poynt.net/businesses/{businessId}/orders \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'api-version: 1.2' \
  -d '{

      "storeId":"{storeId}",				                               // storeId of the business
      "storeDeviceId":"{appId}"	                                           // AppId of the developer app
   },
   "customerUserId": 45494460,			                                   //customerId from the Create Customer call.
   "statuses": {
      "status":"OPENED"
   }
}'

    },
    "id": "xxxxxxx"
}

At this point, the order has been successfully created.

A Poynt Cloud Message is sent to the terminal for the newly created order.

Order ahead

The order can be viewed from Order Inbox in the Register app.

Order ahead 2

# Native App Integration

A Native Order Ahead application can be built to work with GoDaddy Poynt. Below are the steps detailing this process.

Implicit Authorization

The following permissions should be included in the Android App manifest:

Order Service: poynt.permission.ORDER_SERVICE

Customer Service: poynt.permission.CUSTOMER_SERVICE

When a merchant subscribes to the App, these permissions are implicitly granted to the application.

Create Customer and Create Order

Create a Customer followed by an Order as described in the previous article of Order ahead integration using Register app(Steps 3 and 4).

When the user taps on the Order Notification on the terminal, the Intents.ACTION_GO_TO_ORDER_DETAILS can be handled to create a Custom Order Details view in your app.
