API Use Cases
Custom Menu Build
3min
You can use our Blueprint API to do a full custom front end menu build either in-house (your own development team) or use one of our agency partners. Please reach out to your sales rep for any agency recommendations.
- API use is included in your regular AIQ Ecom subscription, no additional cost
- Our API is a RESTful API
- We offer a pre-built checkout that you can redirect to, so you don't have to worry about building checkout or any of the integrations that are surfaced at checkout (delivery, loyalty, payments, etc.).
- Review the sample app available in the API docs (github repo) that you can use as a starting point to building your own solution.
Things you will need to build if you do a full menu custom build:
- Consumer menu
- Modals: Age gate modal, Order type modal (incl. delivery address validation)
- Home page: Categories + Custom categories, Banners, Order Again
- Category page
- Product page: Details, Labs (incl terpenes), Reviews, Product Suggestions, Brand Info, Variable Pricing (Weight Tiers, Price Tiers, etc.)
- Search filters (but not search)
- Deals
- Account: Authentication, Log In, Sign Up, Account section
- Cart, including Cart Upsell
- Post-order Confirmation screen
- SEO: You will need to build all of the SEO + maintainance
- Performance (menu speed)
- All front-end integrations: Google Analytics, GTM, any other analytics
Things you will NOT have to build:
- Checkout: We will redirect back to an AIQ-powered checkout
- Cancel order flow
- Purchase limits, we will send, will have to handle front-end
- Errors - we can send, will have to handle front-end
- Curbside/Drive-Thru "I'm here" flow
- Product Catalog and Brand Catalog will still pull those images
- Backend integrations: Loyalty, POS, Onfleet, Payments, Marketplaces (Leafly, Weedmaps)
- Search backend
