After a customer submits an order, you can notify the customer of changes to the order by sending an order update message to Google. Google then relays that message to the customer within the ordering UI.
Common reasons for sending order updates include:
- The estimated fulfillment time for the order becomes available or changes.
- The state of an order changes.
- The order can no longer be fulfilled.
- The price of a menu item included in the order changed.
- The customer has a new way to manage their order, such as a customer support or restaurant phone number.
- The receipt for the order becomes available.
For example, the following example uses an order update to change the status of
a customer's order from CREATED to CONFIRMED after the restaurant confirms
the order:
| Use case | How to implement |
|---|---|
| Use case 1: Restaurant confirms the order | An OrderUpdate with a CONFIRMED status is sent
to Google. It must have actionOrderId,
userVisibleOrderId, orderManagementActions, and
estimatedFulfillmentTime. |

For the basics of implementing order updates for your project, read the guide Async order updates.
The next sections provide examples for more advanced order update scenarios.
Rejected status
The examples below demonstrate an AsyncOrderUpdateRequestMessage for
orders that have been rejected for various reasons. Some examples of rejection
reasons are when the restaurant can no longer fulfill the order or when the
delivery address associated with the order is out of range.
| Use case | How to implement |
|---|---|
| Use case 1: Order is rejected because the provider cannot contact the restaurant or the restaurant cannot fulfill the order. | Send an OrderUpdate with a REJECTED status to
Google. It must have actionOrderId,
userVisibleOrderId, orderManagementActions,
rejectionInfo, and foodOrderError of error type
NO_CAPACITY. |
| Use case 2: Order is rejected because the driver is unavailable or the delivery address is out of range. | Send an OrderUpdate with a REJECTED status to
Google. It must have actionOrderId,
userVisibleOrderId, orderManagementActions,
rejectionInfo, and foodOrderError of error type
OUT_OF_SERVICE_AREA. |
| Use case 3: Order is rejected because the restaurant is closed unexpectedly or is closing. | Send an OrderUpdate with a REJECTED status to
Google. It must have actionOrderId,
userVisibleOrderId, orderManagementActions,
rejectionInfo, and foodOrderError of error type
CLOSED. |
| Use case 4: Order is rejected because some of the items are out of stock. | Send an OrderUpdate with a REJECTED status to
Google. It must have actionOrderId,
userVisibleOrderId, orderManagementActions,
rejectionInfo, and foodOrderError of error type
AVAILABILITY_CHANGED. |
| Use case 5: Order is rejected for unknown or uncategorized reasons. | Send an OrderUpdate with a REJECTED status to
Google. It must have actionOrderId,
userVisibleOrderId, orderManagementActions, and
rejectionInfo of error type UNKNOWN. |
