Introduction

RBI’s Orders API is designed to allow guests to place orders using RBI mobile apps. Guests use the RBI app to select a restaurant, add items to cart and pay for the order, and the RBI platform communicates with the restaurant’s POS system throughout the journey.

Calculate basket price

Direct integration

When a guest loads the checkout page, the RBI mobile app communicates with the RBI platform to request the basket price by indicating the full basket contents. In turn, the RBI platform sends the full basket contents to the POS using the Price Order Webhook.

The POS must have previously developed the ability to accept calls from the Price Order Webhook, and respond with a call to the Price Webhook Callback (using the callbackUrl parameter sent with the original request).

With a translation service

Calls to the Price Order Webhook send the full basket contents under the cart request parameter. This parameter has a standard format, which must be translated to the format that each POS expects to receive. Typically this is accomplished with a service such as Khumbu. In case a translation service is used, communication between systems happens as follows:
