Walk-in reservations will push into Commerce7 as an order with a "Walk-in" line item. If the guest record in Tock has an email, it will be associated with the order. If the guest's email is unknown, the order will not be connected to a guest, but will include the guest's name in the order note.
How do I set up a member discount or exclusive tasting?
Once your integration is connected, set up a Smart Group using Commerce7 attributes. This allows you to limit access to experiences, or to create discounts. For more information, view the Creating Smart Groups article.
Is it possible to modify an order that was originally created by Tock within Commerce7?
Orders created in Tock can only be modified in Tock as the reservation sync only goes one direction (Tock -> Commerce7). This can be done by clicking the external order number link in Commerce7, which will open the reservation in Tock. Any modifications to the reservation will then automatically be updated again in Commerce7.
