Order Fulfillment Types
There are multiple types of fulfillment that can be submitted to Stream.

Only orders with a fulfillment_type
of "drive_thru"
may be submitted as unpaid. All other orders submitted through this integration must be paid at the time of submission.
Delivery
- Used for orders that are being delivered to a customer, with all delivery components and details managed by the DSP partner. Treated similar to a pickup order from a POS perspective.
Pickup
- Used for orders that are being picked up by a customer, can leverage the ready_for_pickup status to notify the customer that their order is ready.
Curbside
- Used for orders that are being picked up by a customer at a curbside location, can leverage the ready_for_pickup status to notify the customer that their order is ready but we do not offer a customer -> pos arrival notification.
Drive Thru
- Used for orders that are being picked up at a drive thru window, can be submitted unpaid for pay at window operations.
Merchant Managed Delivery
Used for orders that are being delivered to a customer by a merchant's employee / dispatch system.
