Adding a Company Setting
Company settings allow you to define how your online ordering site looks and operates. Company settings control the configuration for all of your site locations; however, you can override some settings on a site by site basis. When you access the Company Settings Setup page, the systems lists the available company settings in alphabetic order. You can create multiple sets of company settings, and apply a set to a specific site location. A a minimum, it is highly recommended to configure the following settings:
- AccountManagementEmailAddress
- AllowedPaymentLocations
- AllowedPaymentMethods
- BufferAM
- BufferPM
- MaxOrderTotalAmount
- MinOrderTotalAmount
- MaxPayAtSite
- OrderWebsiteTitle
- SupportEmailAddress
Refer to Company Settings for more information on the available settings, their purpose, the possible values, and the default value, if any.
