Summary
Merge the subscriber and marketplace experiences into a single unified menu where users can choose to pay with credits or cash — similar to Southwest's money/points toggle.
Currently logged-in users can only pay with credits and guests can only pay with cash. This removes that restriction.
Prerequisites
- Rename
menu_items.subscriber → menu_items.accepts_credits
- Rename
menu_items.marketplace → menu_items.accepts_cash
- Update builder UI labels ("Subscriber"/"Marketplace" → "Accepts Credits"/"Accepts Cash")
- Update admin filters and scopes
- Update
Order scopes (.subscriber → .credits, .marketplace → .cash or similar)
- Update
subscriber_note → TBD (baker's note? weekly note?)
UI changes
- Single menu view for all users (merge
Menu.tsx and Marketplace.tsx)
- Payment toggle (tab or switch) to choose credits vs cash, visible when user has credits
- Items filtered by selected payment method (
accepts_credits or accepts_cash)
- Price display adapts: credits when paying with credits, dollars when paying with cash
- Guest users see cash-only view (no toggle since they have no credits)
- Logged-in users with credits see both options
Backend changes
- Order creation accepts explicit payment method choice (not inferred from user context)
- Cart needs to handle both payment types in one flow
- Auth flow: guests may need ability to log in mid-checkout to use credits
Depends on
Open questions
- Can a single order mix credits and cash items?
- What happens to users with 0 credits — do they see the toggle at all?
- Should guests be prompted to log in if they might have credits?
