Creating and managing menu buttons on your Website

Introduction

This is the fourth guide in a series on how to use and configure websites within Franpos. In this article, you’ll learn how to create menu buttons that allow your customers to interact with your website. You’ll also discover how to reassign their destination and change their placement.

When adding a menu button, you'll see several important settings:

  • Menu Name – The name of the button that will appear on your website. You can name it anything you like. Also, if you don’t like the standard name of your button—for example, if you want to change the Booking button to Book Now!—you can do this by creating a new button with a custom name 'Book Now!'  and assigning the Booking type to that button.
  • Type – Sets the initial behavior of the button. For example, if you select Categories, clicking the button will open the Categories page by default.
  • Web Address – Determines where the button will direct users. For example, you can set the 'Type' to "Products" and enter "Categories" in the 'Web Address' field. This way, the original button type (Products) will redirect to the Categories page.
  • Tooltip – A short message that appears when users hover over the button. Useful for adding helpful hints or context.
  • Placement – Controls where the button appears or applies on your website. Parent is used for creating a dropdown menu.
  • Open in New Window – If enabled, the linked page will open in a new browser tab or window.

Custom and Utility Types

  • External Link – Allows you to insert any URL into the Web Address field to link to an external page (e.g., YouTube, another site).
  • Content Page – Used to link to custom pages not listed in the default types (e.g., Rewards, About Us).
  • No Link – Creates a non-functional placeholder button that can be used as a dropdown menu header.
  • Astro offers - Adds a button with Astro Offers for your store. Astro integration is required for this button type to appear.

Predefined System Pages

These types automatically link your button to specific default pages on your website:

Type Function
Products Links to the Products page (opens with the first category displayed).
Booking Links to the Booking page (only if Online Booking is enabled).
Check-in Links to the Check-In / Walk-In page (requires Walk-In to be enabled).
Brands Links to the Brands page.
Categories Links to the Categories page.

Web Address Column

Info
Example

The Web Address field acts as a redirect to the selected page. You can also leave it set to "No override" means the button will lead to the value defined in the "Type" column.

Button Placement Options

Info
Example

As mentioned earlier, the Placement setting defines where the button appears on the website. Additionally, if the selected placement already exists on the site, it determines what element the button will be linked to. For example, if you choose "Logo" as the placement, clicking the logo on the website will redirect users to the destination specified in the Web Address field.
