Managing your Store & Orders

Learn how to manage your store status and handle orders from start to finish on the GrabMerchant App

Before Service: Set Your Store Status

Your store status tells consumers and delivery partners exactly what to expect. Always align your app mode with your real-time capacity:  

Normal: Business as usual. Standard prep times apply.  

Busy: Keeps your store open but automatically adds extra preparation time to incoming orders. Use this during a rush or if short-staffed.  

Paused: Stops new incoming orders entirely. Ongoing orders must still be completed. Try to avoid pausing to protect your Quality Hero Badge.
