In this article, we cover how to enable Pre-Orders from your Dutchie account to your GrowFlow account. This integration will allow orders created on Dutchie to appear in your GrowFlow account, where you can then fulfill the order.
You must have turned on the ability to integrate with a third-party menu/posting company in your GrowFlow account before you can continue with this part of the integration. See the help article on Menu Integrations if you need to set this up first.
