Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

  • You can now limit the number of characters allowed in pickup, delivery, and shipping notes.
  • We've fixed an issue where clicking outside the delivery notes field on POS caused all note fields to disappear. The fields will now remain visible as expected.

Zapiet Eats

Zapiet - Product Options

  • Shopify Sidekick support has landed! You can now ask Sidekick about your product options directly within Shopify admin. Sidekick can search your option groups and values, surface which options carry an additional charge, and explain the conditional rules set up for a group, so you can find answers without digging through the app.
  • Option groups are now referred to consistently as "Groups" throughout the app and in Sidekick replies, replacing the older "Sets" wording for a clearer and more consistent experience.
  • The support chat widget now loads on the Create option group and Create option pages, so you can reach us from anywhere in the app.
  • Options can now be bulk-added to option groups directly from the Options page.
  • The padding has been fixed on the "Select option type" modal when adding new options.

Zapiet - Rates by Distance

  • The tooltip for manually setting latitude and longitude in location settings now links to the correct guide.

Zapiet - Rates by Zipcode

  • Navigating to any sub-page now keeps the relevant parent item highlighted in the app navigation.
  • Pagination is no longer displayed on the Zones and Rates page unless multiple pages of results are available.

Ordering page fixes, delivery zone updates, and general improvements

Veno avatar
Shared by Veno • May 22, 2026

Improvements

  • The delivery zone page has been updated to use the Shopify App Bridge contextual save bar, which only appears when there are unsaved changes, providing a more consistent Shopify embedded app experience.
  • Pickup restaurants can now be filtered by restaurant type on the order page.
  • Options can now be set to draft, hiding them from all linked products without needing to delete them or manually update each product.

Bug fixes

  • We've fixed an issue where API tokens in Settings > API Credentials were not being correctly restricted.
  • Delivery zones now correctly display distances in miles when the Standards and Formats setting is set to miles, fixing an issue where kilometers were shown instead.
  • We've fixed an issue where the preselected date and time setting was not being automatically confirmed at checkout, requiring users to manually select the date and time before proceeding. The earliest available date and time is now automatically confirmed.
  • An issue where all restaurants were shown on the order page after validating a delivery address, even if they were outside the delivery range, has been fixed. Only restaurants that can fulfill the delivery order are now shown.
  • Dietary and allergen information displayed on the order page and filters now correctly matches what is configured in the backend, fixing an inconsistency between the two.
  • Time slots on the order page now correctly reflect the configured slot frequency rather than the restaurant preparation time.
  • We've fixed an issue where the order page allowed items to be added to the cart before a date and time had been selected. The menu now loads only after a date and time is confirmed, ensuring any restrictions are applied before the user can add items to the cart.
