Accept Orders: If set to "Yes" then, the store will accept orders. If set to "No", then users can still access the menu, but the Checkout button is disabled. Do not use this setting to limit orders during off-hours. Instead, use the Pick-Up Hours to automate when orders are accepted.
Fire Order: If set to ¨Yes¨ then the Online Order order receipts will automatically fire to your printer. Requires the use of labels for your printer. The Order Alert app can also print Order Receipt which may be a better fit for your store’s set-up.
Pay Later: If set to "Yes" then your customers can choose to pay in-store. If set to "No" your customers have to pay for their order online, this is recommended.

Group Orders: If set to "Yes" customers can process group orders. Multiple people can enter Items into the same order and have 1 person pay for the entire order.
