Steps
Register a webhook endpoint URL with ChowNow through the ChowNow partner integration portal
Validate inbound webhook authenticity using the shared secret or signature header provided by ChowNow
Parse the order JSON payload to extract items, modifiers, customer info, and requested pickup or delivery time
Map ChowNow menu item IDs to POS item IDs using a pre-built ID mapping table from menu sync
Inject the normalized order into the POS and return a 200 OK response to ChowNow within the required acknowledgment window
Known gotchas
ChowNow's partner API is not publicly documented; access and webhook format details require a direct partnership agreement
Failure to respond within the ack window may cause ChowNow to retry the webhook, potentially duplicating orders if your system lacks idempotency checks
ChowNow supports both pickup and delivery orders; ensure your injection logic handles both fulfillment types distinctly
