Configure Buyer Portal Menu Settings (Sellers)

Set order minimums, order cutoffs, cart hold times, out-of-stock display, grid columns, and allowed delivery destinations for your Buyer Portal menu.

Menu settings control the order rules and the display buyers get when they shop your menu.

Open menu settings

  1. Go to Settings > Ecommerce > Settings.
  2. Set the scope to Menu and select your menu. You can also open the menu and click Open in Ecommerce Settings.
  3. Open Menu configuration.

Settings cascade from Global to Menu, and the most specific one wins. Use Global for company-wide defaults and Menu for anything that applies to a single menu.

Order rules

Setting

What it does

Minimum order value

Buyers can't submit an order below this amount. Their cart shows a warning until they meet the minimum.

Case-only purchasing

Hides items without a case configuration. Removes "Each" as an order-by option.

Hide items below qty

Hides items whose available quantity falls below the number you enter.

Cart

Save cart between visits sets how many hours a cart and the inventory it holds are kept after the buyer stops working on it. The default is 2 hours. Buyers get a warning before the cart expires. After it expires, the held inventory is released to other buyers.

Display

Setting

What it does

Default Group by / Then by

How the order grid is grouped when a buyer opens it, for example, by Brand and then by Category. Buyers can change the grouping.

Visible columns

Columns on the order grid.

Show available qty

Shows or hides the available quantity column.

Low-stock threshold

Items below this quantity show a Low stock label.

Hide out-of-stock items

On by default. Turn it off to keep showing items with nothing available, marked as out of stock. Items set to Always available are never treated as out of stock.

Facilities

  • Inventory sources: the facilities whose inventory this menu sells.
  • Order destinations: the buyer facilities that are allowed to receive orders from this menu. An order to a destination that isn't allowed can't be submitted.

Click Save when you're done.

Changing the URL slug under General changes your menu's web address. Links you've already shared will stop working.
