Delivery integration
Deliver your own orders with your own drivers.
Run deliveries with your own drivers on the Ordering Driver App for iOS and Android. Manual or automatic assignment from the Ordering.co Dashboard, on the same order flow as your delivery companies.
How the Ordering Driver App works.
Orders come in on your channels. Ordering.co assigns each delivery to one of your drivers, and every update comes back to you and your customer.
- 1Order placed
A customer places a delivery order on any of your Ordering.co channels.
- 2Delivery requested
Ordering.co assigns the delivery to one of your drivers through their delivery group, with the pickup and drop-off details.
- 3Picked up and delivered
Your driver collects the order at your store and takes it to the customer.
Delivery status and courier details update in Ordering.co and on your customer's tracking page as they happen.
Your drivers, on the same order flow.
The Ordering Driver App is Ordering.co’s own app for in-house drivers. Orders from your channels reach your drivers the same way they reach a delivery company, and you run both from one place:
- Your own channels. Branded websites, apps, and kiosks where customers order from you directly.
- More products and features. More than 20 products and more than 1,500 features across ordering, loyalty, marketplaces, call centers, and delivery.
- One delivery operation. Put your in-house drivers and delivery companies in delivery groups, and assign orders automatically.
- Built to extend. APIs and MCP, with application source code available on eligible plans.
Why use the Ordering Driver App
- You control the fleet. Create, enable, and group your drivers in the Dashboard, and set who manages each group.
- Assignment on your rules. Assign by hand from the Orders list, or let a delivery group assign automatically once the store accepts the order or finishes preparing it.
- Organized by store and area. Each delivery group covers the stores you pick, with its own priority, delivery zones, and payment methods.
- Grouped orders. Combine eligible orders for one driver within the limits you set.
What the app gives your drivers
The Driver App product guide covers each screen:
- Orders by status. Pending, in progress, completed, and canceled.
- Accept or reject. Review each delivery request before taking it.
- Map and navigation. See the store and customer on a map, then open the route in another maps app.
- Order chat and contact. Message about an order and reach the store or customer.
- Pickup and drop-off steps. Mark arrival at the store, report pickup problems, and complete the delivery.
- Availability. Drivers set whether they can receive orders from their profile.
How a delivery moves
- A customer places a delivery order on your Ordering.co website, app, or kiosk.
- The order is assigned to one of your drivers, by hand from the Orders list or automatically by the delivery group.
- The driver accepts the request in the app, picks up the order at your store, and takes it to the customer.
- The driver completes the delivery in the app, and the order moves to Completed.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is the Ordering Driver App a courier network?
No. It is Ordering.co's own app for drivers you manage. Your drivers deliver your orders. Third-party delivery companies such as Uber Direct connect to Ordering.co separately.
How are orders assigned to drivers?
An administrator or business owner can assign an order to a driver from the Orders list in the Dashboard. You can also configure automatic assignment rules in a delivery group, starting when the store accepts the order or when preparation is completed.
Can drivers carry more than one order at a time?
Yes. A delivery group can combine eligible orders, with limits you set for the number of orders, time between them, and distance between pickups and drop-offs.
What can drivers do in the app?
Drivers see their pending, in-progress, completed, and canceled orders, accept or reject requests, view businesses and customers on a map, open navigation, chat about an order, mark arrival at the store, report pickup problems, and complete the delivery.
Can I use my drivers and delivery companies together?
Yes. Delivery groups can use in-house drivers or delivery companies. Each group has a priority and the stores it serves, which sets the order in which groups are selected for a new order.
Why run your own drivers on Ordering.co?
Your drivers work on the same order flow as your channels and delivery companies, with your own branded channels, more than 20 products and more than 1,500 features, automatic assignment, APIs and MCP, and application source code on eligible plans.
