Short answer

How do I switch my Meituan store online or offline?

You tell your AI client to change your status, and it executes the command via the Meituan Waimai Open API. This lets you go offline or online without opening the merchant app. You get immediate control over your storefront visibility.

Store status outcomes

Where your status changes land.

What happens when you give your AI a command.

ONLINE

Store goes live

The AI triggers the online command. Your shop becomes visible to customers on the Meituan Waimai platform immediately.

OFFLINE

Store goes dark

The AI triggers the offline command. Your shop stops accepting orders and disappears from active customer searches.

SYNC

Status is confirmed

The AI verifies the command worked. You receive a direct confirmation in your chat that the storefront state has changed.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

You still handle menu updates and price changes. The AI only manages the binary online or offline state of the shop.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the Meituan merchant platform.

  1. Interpret intent

    Your AI reads your message to determine if you want to open or close your shop.

    set_store_onlineset_store_offline

  2. Activate storefront

    If you want to start taking orders, the AI sends the command to make the shop visible.

    set_store_online

  3. Deactivate storefront

    If you need to stop orders, the AI sends the command to hide the shop from the platform.

    set_store_offline

  4. Report result

    The AI confirms the operation was successful so you know the status is updated.

    set_store_onlineset_store_offline
