The Fit

Who Is This For?

Businesses ready to turn a published catalog into incoming customer orders, including shops, restaurants, and service providers.

What Can You Accomplish?

Let customers order through IOD themselves or with a capable AI assistant. Receive orders by text, email, web browser, or through a configured Square or Toast POS integration. Your business can accept an order using the email link, web portal, or web alert app.

From Setup To Action

How Does It Work?

  1. Publish and check your catalog, then activate ordering with an action-credit pack.
  2. The customer or their assistant selects the offering and supplies the details needed for the order.
  3. Review and accept the incoming order. Customers can pay through the IOD payment flow, with Square handling the transaction and processing.

Bring Your Business

What Do You Need To Provide?

An accurate catalog, fulfillment instructions, contact and notification details, and action credits. Online payment requires a configured Square connection; direct POS delivery requires the relevant integration.

What Can You Try Right Now?

Choose a business in the directory and inspect its catalog. Where ordering is enabled, follow the order link to see the customer flow. Submitting an order creates real business activity; browsing does not.

An Example Request

Help me choose from this business’s catalog, confirm the quantity and fulfillment details with me, and submit the order when I approve it.

This is an example instruction you can adapt to your business or a participating business’s actual offerings. It is not a submitted request or a customer testimonial.

Clear Pricing

What Does It Cost?

Your listing and business management tools are free through the web and AIXE. Ordering is optional: $99 activates 1,000 action credits. Each order received through IOD, from a human or an AI, and each review received through IOD uses one credit. Credits never expire. Refills are manual, with no automatic charge. If you do not refill, your account stays active with its free tools and listing, but ordering is unavailable until you refill. Reviews can be turned off; ordering remains enabled while your activated account has credits.

What Should You Know Before Starting?

An order submission is not the same as business acceptance. Payment processing is handled by Square, not IOD. Direct POS integration costs $250 to set up plus $25 per month, in addition to action credits.
