Custom Fields for Orders in Digital Menu

You can customize the fields for orders based on your needs. This function will be useful for those for whom the standard fields are not suitable for several reasons. For example, if you want to create an electronic menu for a hotel, where the delivery address is not needed, but instead you want to have a room number. Or you take orders directly at the establishment and instead of the address, you only need to specify the table number. Perhaps you don't need any fields at all, since visitors place orders right next to the checkout window and it will be enough to hear from customers only the order number.

You can change the name of the fields, add hints to them, make them mandatory or optional, and, if necessary, disable them.


The default fields of the order form:

  • Name (required, with the placeholder “Enter a name”).
  • Phone number (required, with dynamic placeholder depending on the selected country).
  • Delivery address (required, with the placeholder “Street, house, apartment, office”).
  • Commentary (optional, with a hint “Any special requirements”).

In order to change the field used in the order form, do the following:

  • Open the admin panel and click “Order Settings”.
