How to add your own online ordering when you use StreamOrders
StreamOrders manages your orders and menus across third-party delivery apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub — channels where you pay a commission on every order. It doesn't, on its own, give you a branded storefront where customers order directly. To add your own commission-free online ordering, connect StreamOrders to ordering.co: keep your marketplace orders flowing through StreamOrders, and gain your own website, apps, delivery and marketing — with orders and menus kept in sync.
Why a direct, commission-free channel matters
Third-party delivery apps bring reach, but every order through them costs you a commission and hands the customer relationship to the marketplace. A channel you own flips that: customers order directly from your branded site or app, you keep more of each order, and you get the customer data to bring them back. The smart setup isn't either/or — it's running both, with the apps for discovery and your own channel for margin and loyalty.
What StreamOrders covers — and what it doesn't
| Need | StreamOrders | ordering.co (connected) |
|---|---|---|
| Manage menus across delivery apps | Yes | Stays in sync |
| Route third-party orders to your POS | Yes | Stays in sync |
| Your own branded ordering website & apps | — | Yes |
| Commission-free direct orders | — | Yes |
| Your own delivery (in-house or 3rd-party logistics) | — | Yes |
| Marketing, loyalty & customer data | — | Yes |
In short: StreamOrders keeps the delivery-app side tidy; ordering.co gives you the side you own. Connecting them means you don't have to choose.

Frequently asked questions
Does StreamOrders have its own online ordering website?
StreamOrders focuses on managing orders and menus across third-party delivery apps. For your own branded ordering website and apps where customers order directly, connect StreamOrders to a platform like ordering.co.
Can I sell directly and still use the delivery apps?
Yes. That's the point of connecting StreamOrders to ordering.co — keep the delivery apps for reach via StreamOrders, and add your own commission-free channel for margin and loyalty, with everything in sync.
Is direct ordering really commission-free?
Orders through your own ordering.co storefront aren't charged marketplace commissions; ordering.co charges a small transaction fee instead, so more of each order stays with you. Pricing is discussed on the demo.
Will my menu stay the same across channels?
Yes. Connecting keeps one consistent menu across your delivery apps and your own storefront, so you update once instead of maintaining separate menus.
Do I have to replace StreamOrders?
No. You keep StreamOrders for third-party orders. ordering.co adds the direct channel and syncs with it.
