Yemeksepeti Integration: Restaurant and Local Store Management

Yemeksepeti integration connects your restaurant or local store account to a single panel. The connection requires an API key, a secret, a chain ID and a seller ID. Orders land in the panel, menu items are managed centrally, and new items can be submitted from the panel. Because this is food delivery, there is no shipping or return flow on this channel.

What credentials does Yemeksepeti integration need?

The connection is established with four values: an API key, a secret, a chain ID and a seller ID. The chain ID states which chain a multi-branch business operates under; it is required for single-branch businesses too. Entering them establishes the connection and orders begin to flow.

No separate server, static IP or developer support is required. Once the first orders land, verify that menu items are matched correctly in the panel; if matching is wrong, closing one item can overwrite another.

Why are there no return and question screens for Yemeksepeti?

Because those endpoints do not exist in the API — the gap is not on our side. The entire Yemeksepeti partner API schema consists of sixteen endpoints across six sections: authentication, catalog, category, order, promotion and outlet management. None of these sections contains a return, claim or customer messaging endpoint.

The reason is not technical but the business model: in food delivery the customer does not "return" the food. When something goes wrong the order is cancelled, and cancellation already runs through the order section. The shipped-sales model of "the marketplace is waiting for the seller to answer a return request" has no counterpart on this channel.

So the return and question screens are never shown for this marketplace. The alternative would be showing them labelled "coming soon", which amounts to promising the seller something that will never arrive. Not implying an endpoint that does not exist is the measure of an honest integration.

What works on Yemeksepeti integration?

What works: the order flow, menu item management and submitting new items from the panel. Orders land in the panel and are operated from there. Menu item prices and availability are managed centrally; an item that runs out can be closed from the panel.

One detail matters about submitting new items: the submitted product is not published immediately — it opens a review request with your account manager. The form states this plainly to the seller, because that expectation is usually the source of the "I submitted it but cannot see it" question. Categories are also sent by NAME rather than ID, which explains why the form’s category field behaves like free text.

An alert layer sits on top of orders: notifications are produced for orders whose preparation window is closing. Minutes matter in food delivery; an hour of delay is invisible in shipped sales but turns into a cancellation here.

What does becoming a Yemeksepeti partner require?

Applications go through Yemeksepeti’s own partner channel and the platform sets the acceptance criteria. Those criteria change over time and by city, so no fixed document list is given here; confirm current requirements on the platform’s partner page.

Preparing these speeds the process: business licence and tax registration, the permits required for food production and sale, a bank account able to receive payments, and menu item names, prices and images. Writing menu item names consistently makes matching easier on the integration side.

Once the account is open, the only integration task is entering the four credentials in the panel.

Can restaurant and marketplace sales be managed together?

Yes. If the same business sells both on the food channel and on shipped marketplaces, both collect in one panel. Screens separate by channel type: a food order has no shipping label or volumetric weight, and a preparation timer does not carry the same meaning in shipped sales.

The measure is the same for profitability: realised profit is computed from the order’s own deduction data. Commission behaves differently on the food channel, so an assumption built for shipped sales is not carried over.

Which market does Yemeksepeti serve and in which currency do you sell?

Yemeksepeti operates in Turkey’s food and local delivery market: orders settle in TRY and travel by courier. There is no shipping process, so volumetric weight, carrier selection and shipping labels are meaningless on this channel and are not shown in the panel.

The unit of measure differs too. Shipped sales are discussed in days, this one in minutes: an order whose preparation window closes turns into a cancellation, and a cancellation is not only lost revenue — it lowers the venue’s rating. The panel’s main job on this channel is making the order visible the moment it lands.

The business is physically located in Turkey and the delivery radius is tied to the branch. With multiple branches each is managed separately; menu and price update centrally, but the delivery area is defined on the branch’s own record.

How do you open an Yemeksepeti venue from Turkey or from abroad?

FROM TURKEY: This channel requires a physical business — the kitchen or shop is located in Turkey and the delivery radius depends on the branch location. Applications go through Yemeksepeti’s own partner channel; the platform sets the acceptance criteria and the areas it serves, which can vary by city.

Preparing these speeds the process: business licence and tax registration, the permits required for food production and sale, a bank account able to receive payouts, and menu item names, prices and images. In food delivery image quality directly affects conversion; the same item gets noticeably more orders with a good photo.

FROM ABROAD: This channel is not suited to cross-border selling; food comes physically from a nearby kitchen and travels by courier. A business established abroad can only deliver in Turkey by opening a branch there — so the question is not "selling from abroad" but "opening a branch in Turkey".

Four: an API key, a secret, a chain ID and a seller ID.
