Updated REST API To Use New Reset Password Flow

The REST API has been updated to create a better guest experience for resetting passwords. With this new feature, guests no longer must copy a temporary password from an email and paste it in the browser to reset their password. Instead, they can simply click a link and submit a new password.

 
 
 

Tech Eco Booster

Curbside Integration

Curbside enhances online ordering by enabling marketers and store managers to see a guest’s location as they progress toward the restaurant to pick up their food. In the Paytronix branded app, the guest is required to add vehicle make, model and color when placing a Curbside order. Once the guest pulls up, the store will be notified, and then can bring the food out to the guest’s vehicle.

Native Ordering

Native online ordering is now available in the Paytronix branded apps. Rather than surfacing a clunky internal web browser in the app, a streamlined ordering flow is presented.
