Improvements

• Our POS app just got an exciting upgrade—a QR code scanner! This new feature simplifies managing pickup orders. Scan the QR code to quickly mark orders as picked up and keep everything running smoothly. Give it a try!

• Previously, when viewing orders on our POS app you could not differentiate between pickup, delivery, and shipping orders. We have now added badges to make this distinction easier.

• No more uninstalling and reinstalling. If you’re a seasonal business or going on a holiday, you can now pause your Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery subscription!

• Our Widget API has been significantly improved! It now includes discount codes, delivery notes, address prepopulation, and much more. Explore all the updates in our improved Widget API documentation.

• We've added a note to the Themes and Checkout pages to clarify that not all themes support displaying our widget in the drawer cart.

We've also squashed some bugs! 🐛

• Our checkout widget experienced an issue if the locations had product availability set by tags, vendors, or product types. The issue is resolved and the checkout widget now supports all of the product availability methods.

• We discovered a bug with our rate feature that caused local delivery rates to disappear from Shopify when local delivery was disabled at a location. Additionally, if a location with both store pickup and local delivery enabled was removed, all rates were removed from Shopify. Our developers identified the issue and have successfully fixed it!

• When duplicating the location, there was a bug that prevented custom pickup slots from being copied to a duplicate location. The issue is now resolved.

• Previously, when using product availability by tag, collection, type or vendor the wrong error message was shown for unavailable products on the widget. The issue is now resolved and the correct error message now appears if unavailable products are added to the cart.

• If you were using our Payment Methods feature and downgraded to the Advanced or Essential plan, the payment method still appeared as active even though it wasn’t functional. We've fixed the issue, and payment methods will now only show if you're on the Pro plan, as expected.

• When restoring attributes from ZapietId, the time attribute was previously restored in the 24-hour format only. This caused issues for merchants using the 12-hour format, such as missing tags and the time not appearing on the order dashboard. We’ve resolved this, and attributes can now be restored as expected in both 24-hour and 12-hour formats.

We are delighted to share that you can you can now set daily limits on the products in your menus, and manage the remaining inventory each day. You can read more about this feature in our Daily inventory article.

We squashed some more bugs this week! 🐛

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

• We have resolved the issue in our POS app where locations using product availability by specific tags, vendors, or product types were incorrectly shown as unavailable for both store pickup and local delivery.
• Previously, when editing a local delivery order on the POS app, after selecting the delivery date, the time picker would go blank, preventing you from choosing a new time. This issue has been resolved, and the time picker is now working as expected!
• The 'Correct modified shipping address' feature wasn’t working as expected on some stores, even when the state field was included. Our team quickly resolved the issue, and it’s now working correctly!
• When editing an order in the app, changes made to the order’s delivery or shipping address were not reflected on Google Calendar. We have polished our integration and are syncing the delivery and shipping addresses with your Google Calendar again.
• We resolved the issue where the ‘Hide payment methods’ settings were not showing on the admin pages for all delivery options.

Zapiet - Product Options

We noticed an issue where decimal numbers couldn’t be added or saved in the addon price window when creating an option charge. This has now been fixed, so you can add decimal numbers as expected.

Zapiet Eats

When trying to create a new menu, an issue with an infinite spinner was preventing synchronization with Shopify Collections. This has now been resolved, and menus are syncing with Shopify without any issues.

Zapiet - Product Options

Previously, if an option with an additional charge was changed to one without a charge on the cart page, the total price didn’t update as expected. We’ve fixed this, and now the price adjusts correctly on the cart page.

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

We noticed an issue where, after creating a draft order and marking it as “Ready for pickup,” the SMS notification wasn’t sent, and the page would go blank. Good news—this is all sorted! Now, SMS notifications for draft orders are sent as they should be, and the page stays intact.

Zapiet - Product Options

In the Dawn theme, if the “Quick add” feature is enabled and a product has variants, a product selection window pops up to let customers choose the variant. Previously, our Option Sets weren’t showing up in the modal, which allowed items to be added to the cart without required options being selected. This is now fixed—options display in the modal as expected, so customers can choose exactly what they need.

• Our SMS notifications feature is now available to US merchants, making it convenient for customers to stay updated on their orders created through the Online store. Plus, we’ve added a checkbox on the cart page for easy opt-in to SMS updates! You can read more about this feature in our SMS notifications article.

• Date loading on the POS "Schedule Order" tile has been improved for faster and more reliable scheduling.

• We introduced the new and improved checkout widget for delivery and shipping, designed to enhance the user experience with a smoother, more intuitive interface.

• We’ve resolved a bug where custom pickup time slots were still showing in the widget, even when the time picker was turned off. The feature should now work as expected.

• Some US merchants noticed the widget became unresponsive—our team jumped on it, and everything’s back to normal now!

• We optimized the loading speed of our admin dashboard and widgets to provide a quicker, more seamless experience for all users.

• Previously, rates created in our rates setup guide weren’t automatically added to Shopify. This issue has now been resolved, and rates are added as expected.

• The base URL for our API has been updated from api-us.zapiet.com to api.zapiet.com. You can read more in our Widget API documentation.
  ​The api-us.zapiet.com endpoint will remain active for the next six months to allow for a smooth transition before it is fully deprecated.

• We’ve added the ability to disable an option set without needing to remove it.

• When a maximum number of selections is set for checkboxes, the remaining options on the product page are now greyed out once the limit is reached.

• Previously, when editing a large option set in the cart using our cart page app block, some options would extend outside the modal. This issue has been fixed, and all options now fit within the modal.

• In the POS, when using the swatches option type with images, some images were not displaying correctly. This has been resolved.

• The ability to use a pricing add-on as a negative number (as a discount) worked correctly on the product page but not on the cart or checkout pages. This has been fixed.

• Option set titles now support special characters.

• When the product page app block was enabled, the product price was rounded up to the nearest whole number. This issue has been corrected.

• When using Zapiet – Pickup + Delivery with Zapiet – Product Options and option charges, other options were prevented from showing on the order. This has been addressed.

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

We’ve resolved an issue with the search feature on our Locations page that was causing problems when searching by zip code. You can now search for locations by entering a specific zip code.

Zapiet - Rates by Zip Code

When the app was used in other languages, some parts remained in English. Our developers have fixed the issue, and now the entire app is fully translated into the language of your choice.

Our app just got even better with new features and bug fixes! 🚀

Improvements

• You can now configure bundles of products to create Meal Deals! Combine a main dish, dessert, and drink for a special discounted price. Learn more in our Product bundles article.

• We have introduced a feature that lets you create option sets and add specific products and options to them. Delight your customers with various product options! Discover more in our Product Options article.

• Delight your customers with our brand-new discount feature! Create discounts for different delivery options, restaurants, and days. Find additional details in our Creating automatic discount codes article.

• On mobile, the widget now displays delivery details in the same short form as the calendar, keeping everything aligned.

We've also squashed some bugs! 🐛

• Previously, deleted menu items would still appear in the app. The issue was resolved and the deleted menu items now stay deleted.

• The badge on the ‘Restaurants’ page was not updated when delivery options were enabled or disabled. The issue has been fixed and the ‘Restaurants’ page now reflects the changes to delivery options.

• The widget was showing an incorrect error message if the delivery option was changed from pickup to local delivery. The issue was fixed and the correct wording now appears for the error message.

• Previously, the widget displayed only 3 available locations. We have now expanded it to show all available locations!

• The information from Zapiet - Product Options was not included in the internal or customer-facing notifications. After fixing the issue, the notifications are working as expected and include all of the relevant information.

• If a restaurant was closed and an order was scheduled for a different day, it used to be automatically canceled and refunded. We've improved this feature so now the order will be properly rescheduled for a future date instead.

• We fixed an issue where bulk blackout dates could be added to a restaurant without a menu. Now, if there's no menu available, an error message will be displayed when attempting to add blackout dates.

• Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery was unintentionally editing order attributes from other apps, resulting in the removal of special characters such as quotation marks. The issue has been addressed, and custom attributes will now remain intact.

• We have resolved an issue where the date picker in the POS app wasn’t showing earlier dates when editing an order. Previously, if the order was set for a later date (like the 21st of September), it was tricky to select earlier dates (like the 17th - 20th of September). You can now easily select both earlier and later dates as needed.
