Changelog

Your storefront footer can now link to 19 social, review, and messaging channels — up from the original seven. The editor moved from Settings > Apps > Social Platforms (retired) to Templates > Template Settings > Social Links, alongside your cover photo and copyright text.

What's new beyond the old list:

• Social networks — Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest
• Video — Snapchat
• Messaging — WhatsApp, Telegram, Line
• Reviews & directories — Google Business Profile, TripAdvisor
• Community & audio — Discord, Spotify
• Professional — GitHub

You can also reorder the icons now: the list in the editor is the order visitors see in your footer. Use the up/down buttons on each row to shuffle.

If you'd already set up any of the original seven (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, Rednote, Website), they carried over automatically — the new editor pre-fills them on first open. Nothing to redo.

Formatting you write in a page or product description now matches what your customers see. Tables, line breaks, strikethrough, quoted text, and code snippets all render correctly on your storefront.

What's new in Pages:

• Tables — write a markdown table with | pipes or paste one in, and it renders on your storefront as a proper table with borders, a header row, and clean spacing. Before today, the raw | characters were showing up on the published page.
• Line breaks — pressing Enter once in the editor now produces a visible line break. Previously, single line breaks were silently merged and the next line just continued the paragraph.
• Strikethrough — ~~like this~~ now shows with a line through it, whether you use the toolbar button or type the markdown syntax.
• Quoted text and code — blockquotes render with an indented quote bar, inline code and code blocks get a subtle background so they stand out from body text.
• Markdown source view — the editor now has WYSIWYG / Markdown tabs at the bottom of the editor area. Click Markdown to see or edit the raw source, useful for pasting pre-written markdown or double-checking how something will render.

What's new in product descriptions:

• Line breaks — single line breaks now render on your menu, so a multi-line description no longer collapses into one long block.
• Strikethrough — works in item descriptions as well.

One small quality improvement: if a page accidentally uses a top-level heading (the same size as the page title), it's now automatically treated as a section heading instead. Your page title stays the one top-level heading on the page, which is what search engines expect and keeps the visual hierarchy clean.

No changes needed on your side — existing pages and item descriptions benefit automatically the next time they're viewed.

The footer copyright line — the small text under your storefront like "© 2026 Your Company. All rights reserved." — now lives inside Templates → Template Settings → Footer, next to your cover photo and theme colors. The standalone "Copyright Text" app has been retired.

Why the change: it's the kind of thing you tweak once while setting up your storefront look, so keeping it with cover photo, theme color, and layout makes more sense than hiding it in its own app entry. One less thing in your Apps list, easier to find when you're styling your storefront.

If you'd already customized your copyright line, it stayed put and continues to show on your storefront — you'll just find the editor in the new location. If you never touched it, your footer keeps falling back to your company name as before.

The single tabbed Settings page has been split into 12 focused pages with a sidebar to jump between them. Each area — General, Logo, Localisation, Working Hours, Ordering, Checkout, After Order, Time Slots, Messaging, Apps, Payment, Share Menu — has its own page with a clear URL.

Why the change: the old single-page layout grew too long to scan, and saving one tab risked clobbering changes you'd made to another. Splitting them makes it faster to find what you're looking for, easier to remember, and safer to edit one thing at a time.

On mobile, the sidebar collapses into a dropdown so the layout stays compact. All your existing settings carried over automatically — nothing to redo.

The item description editor has been rebuilt with a cleaner toolbar focused on what actually helps a product or service description — bold, italic, lists, links, emoji, and a few more essentials. The clutter (font sizes, custom colours, tables, image embeds) is gone.

The change also keeps your formatting safer behind the scenes: descriptions render consistently across your storefront, WhatsApp, and PDFs, and they're easier for AI agents and search engines to read.

Existing descriptions keep working as-is; new edits use the new toolbar automatically. No setup needed.

Customer signup forms on your storefront now have tighter bot protection — invisible reCAPTCHA, a hidden honeypot field, and stricter validation on names. Bots that automate fake account creation get blocked before they ever touch your customer list.

You should see fewer junk accounts, fewer rejected first-order coupons used by spammers, and cleaner customer marketing data. Real customers won't notice anything different.

No setup needed — the protection is on automatically across all stores.

When you set or change your storefront subdomain (the your-store-name part of your-store-name.whatsmenu.page), the form now catches problems earlier — invalid characters, reserved words, or names already taken — and shows a clear message explaining what to fix.

Previously some invalid subdomains slipped through and only failed later, sometimes mid-checkout for your customers. The tighter validation prevents that and keeps your storefront URL stable.

No action needed if your existing subdomain works — only new changes go through the new checks.

The cart on your storefront can now adapt to what you sell, instead of using a single one-size-fits-all layout. Modules ship their own cart templates so the checkout experience matches your business — pharmacies can show dosage instructions, restaurants can show preparation notes, age-restricted products can show a confirmation, and so on.

Customers see a cart that fits the kind of thing they're buying. As a merchant, you don't have to configure anything — when you turn on a module that ships a cart template, the layout updates automatically on your storefront.

More cart variations will come as additional modules adopt the pattern.

The Apps page (where you turn modules on and off) now shows a friendlier name and a one-line description for each module, so it's obvious what something does before you enable it.

Previously some modules showed only their technical name with no context, which made browsing slow. The new labels and descriptions match what you'd see in the rest of the admin.

No setup needed — open Settings → Apps to see the cleaner layout.
