Order Notifications and Sound Alerts

Never miss an order

Spatula uses multiple notification channels to make sure you know about every new order:

Merchant app alerts

  • Sound alert — a notification sound plays when a new order arrives. You can choose from several built-in sounds or upload your own.

  • Vibration — your device vibrates along with the sound.

  • Full-screen takeover — new orders take over the entire screen with order details and accept/decline buttons, so you cannot miss them.

  • Push notifications — even if the app is in the background, you get a push notification on your device.

Dashboard alerts

The dashboard also plays sound alerts for new orders. You can configure the alert sound and volume in Settings > Notifications.

Customising sounds

Go to Settings > Notifications in the dashboard or the Settings page in the merchant app to:

  • Choose from built-in alert sounds

  • Adjust the volume

  • Enable or disable repeat alerts (the sound repeats until you respond to the order)

  • Set the repeat interval

Customer notifications

Customers also receive notifications about their order status. When you update an order's status (confirmed, preparing, ready, etc.), the customer receives a push notification on their phone if they have enabled notifications on your storefront.
