What is an external ordering page?
An external ordering page is used when the Flipdish embed code cannot be implemented directly on a website. This allows customers to place orders via a separate page that retains the look and feel of the original website.
This page links back to the original website to maintain a consistent customer experience and avoid confusion.
When is an external ordering page required?
Use an external ordering page in the following situations:
The website's Content Management System (CMS) does not support Javascript, which is required for the embed code to function.
An SSL certificate is not available on the website. SSL is required to securely process online payments.
In these cases, Flipdish provides a standalone external ordering page that is styled to match your brand and can securely handle transactions.
