  • A Delivery category can have one or many Category tags.
  • Category Tags can be chosen freely and are not be visible in Delivery Checkout interface.

The purpose of Category Tags

Category tags give Merchant's side systems the ability to adapt the Checkout based on receiving the tags on the Delivery Checkout session from the Ingrid Checkout API.

Typical use cases are:

  • Setting different payment option due to selection of a special delivery method
  • Some delivery methods not working with credit payment options
  • Delivery option impacting the Merchant Checkout page in any way

    Note: Category Tags is not the same as category label. Category labels are visual indicators than can be set to detail the Delivery Category for the consumer.
