# The menu in Merchant

> The web shop's menu in KwikEat Merchant: built the same way as in Desktop. And what changes when Desktop publishes the menu.

The menu in KwikEat Merchant works exactly like in KwikEat Desktop: **groups** with **products**, and per group or product the **options** with their **choices** and extra charges. You make [combinations](https://kwikeat.com/manual/menu-combinaties) and [deals](https://kwikeat.com/manual/menu-deals) the same way too.

| KwikEat Desktop | KwikEat Merchant | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Option | **Option** | Size |
| Choice | **Choice** | Large + € 4.00 |
| Options of the group (Whole group) | **Group options** | Size for all pizzas |
| Options of the product (This product) | **Product options** | Extra toppings on the margherita |
| Slot, To choose from | Slot, To choose from | Pizza ×2 from All of Pizza |

So for the menu, simply read the chapter [Building your menu](https://kwikeat.com/manual/menu-de-basis) and the [examples](https://kwikeat.com/manual/menu-voorbeelden).

## For the web shop only

Per group Merchant has a few things only the web shop uses:

- a **background image** (a web address);
- a **text above the products** and a **text below the products**, for example *All pizzas also gluten-free* or *While stocks last*.

## When Desktop publishes the menu

When the shop is linked to KwikEat Desktop, the menu comes **from Desktop**. You change it there and choose **Publish**; then the web shop shows it. In Merchant the menu can then **only be viewed**, with when it was last published at the top.

What you still do in Merchant: per group the image and the texts above and below the products. Publishing leaves those alone.
