Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

  • When location availability was set to Specific dates of the year, the Past dates modal was showing blackout date wording. This has been fixed and the correct wording now shows.
  • Location availability can no longer be set to Specific dates of the year without selecting at least one date.
  • We've resolved an issue where delivery customisations could be added to Shopify twice if both pickup and delivery were enabled during the express rates setup guide.
  • Free trial days will now pause correctly if the app is uninstalled during the trial period.
  • When importing many locations, the modal previously displayed only the first three locations. Now, all imported locations are now shown.
  • Clicking Select all when exporting orders to OrderlyPrint previously caused an error. Orders can now be selected and exported as expected.
  • We've fixed an issue where the calendar was incorrectly available while using product date restrictions and preparation times.

  • An issue in the calendar caused past dates not to display, which shifted the layout and placed dates under incorrect days of the week. This has now been fixed, and the calendar will show as expected

Improvements

  • The Order Status widget and Customer Review widget have been optimised to load faster.
  • Draft orders can now be scheduled directly in the Shopify admin, without needing to open the Eats app.
  • You can now create restaurant-specific discount codes and schedule them to be available on selected dates.
  • We've added a new setting that allows you to disable the widget modal from automatically opening when the page loads.
  • The widget has been updated so clicking anywhere in the date or time field will open the calendar, rather than only the calendar icon.
  • The delivery location list on mobile has been improved to better support restaurants with long names.
  • Additional accessibility labels have been added in Settings > Text and Design to improve accessibility support.

Bug fixes

  • In Settings > Product Options, only missing option values are now highlighted when saving.
  • An error will now appear if a product option is configured with a minimum value higher than the maximum.
  • We've improved the bundles UI within menus. Changes to bundles and menus now appear immediately without needing to refresh the page, and the edit modal closes automatically after saving.
  • Future order restrictions were previously displaying one unit lower than the configured value, e.g. entering 2 months would show 1 month in the calendar. This has now been fixed.
  • The order search bar previously refreshed after each character was typed. You can now enter order numbers without interruption.
  • If validation errors appeared when creating a new restaurant, closing and reopening the modal did not clear the messages. The modal now resets correctly.
  • Past dates now cannot be selected for blackout dates or product date restrictions.
  • After selecting pickup in the widget, delivery wording would show at the top of the modal. This has been fixed and the wording now reflects the selected option.
  • The customer phone number country selection will now remain unchanged if you leave and return to the customer information page.
  • Blackout dates are now applied correctly regardless of timezone.
  • When many blackout dates were configured, the widget could preselect a date that was still blacked out. The earliest available date is now correctly selected.

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

  • Merchants using legacy version 1 of the widget will now see a banner to update to the latest version. If you do not update before March 2nd, your widget will be automatically updated.

  • An issue causing a blank screen on the menu page when both pickup and delivery are available on specific dates has been fixed.
