Aloha Online Ordering Release Notes v22.x

Release notes for the Aloha Online Ordering hospitality product.

Version 22.6

December 1, 2022

AO-24343: Introduced a new ‘AddOnlineOrderItemId’ company setting to allow the AO API to send a hidden marker item to the POS on every order submission when Consumer Marketing (Clutch) is enabled. When the item is detected by Aloha Transaction Gateway (ATG), the order is ignored by Consumer Marketing and only one order is recorded. Without the presence of the marker item, Consumer Marketing records a duplicate of the same order.

Select a set from the 'Choose Settings Set' drop-down list.
Click Add Setting.
Type AddOnlineOrderItemId in 'Setting.'
