Before you start your Order with Google integration, review the requirements and perform the relevant tasks in this guide to avoid development blockers and other delays.
File hosting and web service requirements
Order with Google requires that you self-host your data feed files and implement a web service that handles cart validation, order creation, and order status updates. Because there aren't specific programming language or application server requirements, Order with Google works with your preferred implementation as long as it adheres to Order with Google's API specification.

Required capabilities |

|---|---|
|
Secured data feed hosting |
You must be able to host data feed files on Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, or to an HTTPS server. |
|
Secured web service |
Your web service must be able to make and receive API requests in HTTPS. |

Response latency |
When Google sends requests to your web service, it must respond to the request within 8 seconds. |

Guest checkout |
Your web service must allow orders that use guest checkout, which are orders made by a user who either doesn't have an account or isn't logged in to your system. |

- To ensure that your restaurants in Order with Google are discoverable by customers, the restaurant locations must be listed in Google Business Profile.
