Activate a MERGEPORT integration

A simple 4-step guide to connecting your POS and delivery platforms with MERGEPORT.

MERGEPORT

Last Update vor 2 Monaten

Add restaurant in MERGEPORT

Go to controller.mergeport.com and click “Add Restaurant” on the homepage.

➤ Enter the restaurant name and save.

🔐 This will automatically generate access credentials and create an API Key for the restaurant.

Activate the POS System

Insert the generated API Key into the POS system or apply any additional POS-specific configuration if needed

Configure Ordering Platforms

After creating the restaurant, go to the “Configuration” section:
  • Top right: API Key for the POS connection
  • Bottom right: Overview of connected ordering platforms


➡️ Initially, the platform list is empty. Click the “+” button to add the desired platforms. All necessary activation steps will be displayed.

Activate Ordering Platforms

Once your restaurant has been created in the MERGEPORT Controller and the basic setup is complete (customer numbers entered, POS connection active), the integration must be activated on each platform to start receiving orders.

Each platform follows its own activation process. Some work automatically via login, while others require confirmation by the platform’s support team.

Platform Activation Steps

Lieferando

  • Enter the restaurant’s Lieferando customer number in the MERGEPORT Controller.

  • Activation of the POS API to MERGEPORT can be done in two ways:

    • Manual activation: The restaurant or POS partner contacts Lieferando Support by phone or email (partner@lieferando.de) and requests activation of the POS API for MERGEPORT. This usually takes only a few minutes.

    • Automated activation: When adding Lieferando in the MERGEPORT Controller, select the checkbox “Automated activation request.” MERGEPORT then sends the request automatically to Lieferando. Activation typically takes 1–3 business days.

Wolt

Uber Eats

  • Log in using the operator’s Uber Eats account.

  • Either click “Login” in the MERGEPORT Controller or copy the login link and share it with the restaurant.

  • Once connected, the integration is active immediately.

Foodora

  • Enter the restaurant’s four-digit Foodora customer number in the MERGEPORT Controller.

  • Activation of the POS API can also be done in two ways:

    • Manual activation: The restaurant or POS partner contacts Foodora Support by phone or email and requests activation of the POS integration for MERGEPORT. Activation is usually completed within minutes.

    • Automated activation: When adding Foodora in the MERGEPORT Controller, select the checkbox “Automated activation request.” MERGEPORT sends the request directly to Foodora. Activation typically takes 1–3 business days.

After Activation

Once activated, the connected platform will appear as “Online” in the MERGEPORT Controller.

To verify functionality:

  • Create a test order on the platform (if possible).

  • Check whether the order appears under Orders in the Controller.

  • Verify that the POS receives and processes it correctly.

If the status remains “Offline”, re-login or check credentials.

Operational Settings

  • Tablet usage: You can decide whether the platform’s tablet remains active or not.

    • For Foodora, this can be configured via the toggle in the integration settings in MERGEPORT.

    • For Lieferando, the Hybrid Mode allows simultaneous use of the tablet and the POS API.

  • Ensure configurations in both systems (MERGEPORT and the platform) match.
