This is the address that xMenu must call to pass information to the management system when an event occurs (e.g.: new order, order confirmed, order expired…).

​
Times in UTC format

If selected, the date-time information in notifications is in UTC timezone. If not selected, dates are converted to the local timezone.

​
Close orders after synchronization/confirmation

If selected, after synchronization (if confirm option is not enabled) or after confirmation via the management system, orders do not remain on the INCOMING ORDERS page but are automatically closed and archived in history.
