Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

• The dashboard now shows a sample sales graph when you have no orders, giving you a preview of the insights available once orders start coming in.

• You can now add Product Options to upselling or promotional modals for multiple products on the same page. Contact our team to have this feature enabled on your store.

• New installs can now place up to 10 test orders before a plan is selected, so agencies and developers setting up a store can trial the full order management and printing flow before handing it over. Once 10 orders have been placed, checkout locks until a plan is activated.

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery

• Opening an order from the dashboard no longer flickers, as the order details were loading twice and now load once.

• When creating a draft or manual order, the delivery time selector previously defaulted to a fixed 11:30am to 12:00pm slot and stayed locked on it, forcing staff to remove it manually each time. You can now configure delivery time slots for the draft order edit modal even when the storefront delivery time picker is turned off, so any available time can be selected directly.

Zapiet - Product Options

• Option groups now load fully when opened, instead of occasionally showing blank options, names, products, and availability until the page is refreshed.

• Custom CSS settings now load and save correctly in the code editor.
