As a part of the latest version of toast integration, we would need Unique Toast Restaurant External IDs (GUIDs) to be configured on the Punchh Dashboard under locations.
For each new location going live, the client will have to reach out to Toast to obtain the Restaurant GUIDs. Punchh support can guide the clients on how to go about with the dashboard configurations for the same.
Toast Restaurant External IDs are basically the replacement for the location keys for the locations which will have new Punchh -Toast POS integration. It will be unique for each location. The non-participating locations will still have their existing Location Keys.
Here are the steps to configure in Punchh dashboard:
Client will obtain the restaurant GUID’s from Toast and login to Punchh dashboard.
Under Locations>POS tab> External POS Store Identifier, this field needs to be configured so as to receive the transactions on Punchh server.
Once configured, please click on “Update” button to save the details.
Note: Please make sure the POS type is configured as “Toast V3” in our dashboard and validation type as “barcode”.
Note: In the future Toast plans to improve this process such that the client will be automatically emailed the GUIDs when the customer adds a Loyalty partner to a location.
