Creating Tenders

You must create a tender for each ordering channel (DSP/partner) sending orders into your Micros POS, named so Stream can match it.

You must create a tender for each ordering channel (DSP/partner) that sends orders into your Micros POS. Without a matching tender, Stream may not be able to close the order to the correct payment type.


1. Understand how Stream selects a tender

When an order arrives, Stream will attempt to assign a tender in this order:

  1. A tender whose name matches the DSP/partner the order came from (for example DoorDash or Uber Eats).

  2. If none is found, any tender with partner in its name, which acts as a catch-all.

  3. As a last resort, the Auto Close tender source, if one is configured.

2. Create a tender for each DSP/partner in Simphony

In Simphony, create a Tender/Media record for each ordering channel you receive orders from. For the steps to do this in Simphony, see Oracle's guide: Configuring Tender/Media.

3. Name each tender so the channel is identifiable

Name each tender after the DSP/partner it represents. Common Examples:

  • DoorDash =DOORDASH

  • Uber Eats = UBEREATS

  • Grubhub = GRUBHUB

  • Catch-all generic = PARTNER, THIRD PARTY, or 3RD PARTY

Tender names and IDs vary by Simphony configuration. Use the channel names that apply to your venue — the names above are examples.

4. Confirm with a test order

Place a test order from each channel and confirm it closes to the correct tender.


Important: If no tender matches the DSP/partner name, the order may fall back to a generic tender or fail to close correctly. Make sure each active ordering channel has a matching tender.
