Overview
This specifies the API provided by Yelp that allow partners to create/update/cancel orders that were initiated on the Yelp website/app.
Upgrading from v2 checkout APIs
- The v3 Order object has an additional attribute
collection_type
. For orders withprepaid
collection_type, users will be charged as soon as order will be submitted on Yelp, without requiring explicit/complete API call from partners. - Update and cancel operations on orders will be asynchronous.
- OrderStatusChangeNotification object now includes user's fulfillment information (email address, phone number etc if at_customer option) and any Yelp coupon discount information, if applicable.
IFrame URL and Content
This is the URL that Yelp will load in an iframe to initiate the ordering flow on the partner's site.
It must be HTTPS. The iframe page must use HTTPS assets as well or browsers will raise mixed content warnings.
A yelp_site
query parameter will be added to iframe URLs to mitigate the risk of mixed experiences between a menu page and its host.
yelp_site
will be one of {www
|m
}
Currently, devices families supported by Yelp's mobile site are:
- iPhone
- iPod
- FirefoxOS
- Android (tablet and phones)
Note the exclusion of iPads, Windows phone and Blackberry devices for instance. Those device will be served Yelp's desktop site (www.yelp.com) and should get a desktop menu page to avoid mixed experiences.
