Rails Management gives brands better visibility and control over their marketplace settings eliminating the need to rely on Olo to grant restaurants access to marketplaces.
Only marketplaces that pass Rails Certification (aka Certified Rails Partners) can be displayed. To see a list of marketplaces that have passed Rails Certification, check out this article.
Once Rails partners have been enabled, you can activate your stores via the Management tab under the Rails section in Dashboard. Check out step 2 below for details on how to activate stores.
These settings also control which marketplaces will be visible in other parts of the Dashboard, including the Rails Performance Dashboard and the marketplace filters when searching for orders.
The columns in the table align with marketplaces that are Rails-Certified and that the brand has specified they want to display and be able to modify.
Clicking on the cell value will display a modal where you are able to modify the selected marketplace settings for that particular store. See the screenshot below.
Users are able to bulk edit settings for several stores and marketplaces at once via the “Bulk Edit” button in the upper right corner. Please note that this button will only appear when two or more stores are selected. As always, bulk edit actions should be taken with caution.
Step 1: Select a Rails Marketplace partner
The drop-down contains a list of all the Rails-certified marketplaces that your brand has enabled via Rails Settings
Step 2: Select an Action
There are two actions available:
Access: Control the marketplace access for the stores you’ve selected. You can give and remove access via this option.
Note: We highly recommend coordinating with marketplaces before you remove access, as this can cause subsequent orders to fail. This feature should not be used as a means to temporarily deactivate a marketplace.
Pricing: Edit the menu item markup pricing and price roundup AND optionally, the marketplace access for the stores you selected. Please note that you’ll only be able to keep existing settings or grant access via this route. There is no ability to remove access via this option.
