Changelog

We fixed a calculation issue where map-based delivery distances were being measured in miles instead of kilometres, which made the distance — and any distance-based delivery fee — come out lower than the real trip. Distances now reflect the true kilometre distance between your store and your customer, matching what courier services quote. If you charge by distance or use distance tiers, your fees may be a little higher than before because they now use the correct measurement — it's worth a quick look at your rates to make sure they still feel right.

Late-night dayparts now behave the way you'd expect: a daypart set to 22:00-02:00 on Friday keeps its categories visible from Friday 22:00 straight through to Saturday 02:00 — no need to tick Saturday just to cover the after-midnight stretch. We also added a safety check when you edit a daypart's times: if the new schedule would clash with another daypart assigned to the same category, WhatsMenu warns you and names the conflict before saving.

Opening Top 20 Customers by Order Count, Top 20 New Customers, or Top 20 Customers by Purchase Value for a period with no matching orders showed an error page instead of the report. This could happen over a quiet week, on a newly opened store, or whenever a status or payment filter narrowed the results down to nothing. Those reports now load as expected, showing zeros across the summary cards and an empty table. Nothing to change on your end.

Categories can now have their own image. Open Edit category, then upload a photo or generate one with AI from the category's name and description — review it and keep it in a click. Some storefront designs show these as visual tiles customers tap to jump straight to a section, like "Desserts" or "Coloring"; designs that don't use them simply ignore the image, so it's always safe to add one. Don't want it anymore? Tick Remove image and save.

Putting QR codes on your tables just got a lot easier. Open Tables and click Print QR codes to get a print-ready PDF — a sheet of cards on a regular printer (A4 or Letter, 6 or 9 per page, with shared cut lines so one straight cut separates each), or a thermal-roll version (80mm or 58mm) with each code on its own page so a receipt printer set to cut per page separates them for you. You can customize what shows on every card too: a header and footer that can each span multiple lines (your business name and phone, or Wi-Fi name and password), the table name, and your logo — in any language, including Chinese. Print all your tables at once or just one area, and reprint a single area any time you rearrange your space.

Booking a Lalamove delivery just got faster. If your store uses map-based delivery, the drop-off location is now filled in automatically from the exact spot your customer pinned at checkout — no more re-searching their address on the order page. You'll see a "Location pinned by customer at checkout" note under the delivery address, and you can go straight to Get Quotation. You can still search for a different address any time.

We fixed an issue where a formatted item description could show up blank or run together for some shoppers — most noticeably on iPhone Safari. Your descriptions, including bold text, lists, and paragraph breaks, now render correctly for everyone, on every device. Nothing to change on your end.

Setting your store's base location just got easier — type your address or business name in the new search box and the pin jumps straight there and saves. No more scrolling and zooming the map to find your street. The search box is available on both the Delivery Map setup page and the Base Location page in your company settings. Clicking the map and dragging the pin still work as before, and we've also fixed an issue where dragging the pin on the Delivery Map page didn't save the new position. Since every delivery fee is measured from this pin, it's worth a quick check that yours sits exactly on your store.

Your store's location now also appears as a marker on the Delivery Area map, so you can see exactly where your store sits while you draw the area you deliver to. It updates the moment you move your base location.

Delivery Map fees are now calculated from the actual driving distance between your store and the customer's address, instead of a straight line on the map. If the real route detours around a river, highway, or one-way system, your per-kilometre or tiered pricing now reflects it — and your fees line up with what courier services like Lalamove quote for the same trip.

No setup needed, and your pricing settings are unchanged. Since driving distance is usually a little longer than the old straight-line measurement, it's worth a quick glance at your per-km rate or distance tiers to make sure they still feel right.

Distance-based delivery pricing is no longer capped at five ranges. In the Delivery Map settings you can now add as many "up to X km → price" tiers as you like, and remove any you don't need — no more leaving blank rows or squeezing your zones into a fixed set of five.

A couple of related improvements came along with it:

• One pricing method, clearly chosen. You pick either cost-per-kilometer or distance tiers — the storefront and the cart can no longer show one fee and charge another.
• No accidental free delivery. If an address is farther than your last tier, it's charged your top-tier price instead of slipping through to a zero fee.

Setting up your area is cleaner too: the base location and delivery area are now separate, clearly labelled steps, with a Use current location button and an automatic zoom to your saved zone. Your existing ranges carry over exactly as they were — nothing to redo.

Your storefront's cookie banner now does real consent management, not just a notice. When you turn on Cookie Consent, analytics and marketing trackers — Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and any tracking scripts you add in your template's custom head markup — stay switched off until the visitor chooses. The banner offers Accept all, Reject all, and Customize (so visitors can allow analytics but not marketing, or vice versa), and a small Cookie settings button stays on the page so anyone can change their mind later — exactly what GDPR expects. You can also add your Privacy policy URL so a "Learn more" link shows in the banner. Turn it on in Settings → Apps → Cookie Consent; to gate your own custom scripts, tick the new "contains tracking scripts" option in your template's appearance settings.

PromoCards just got more flexible. A card no longer needs an image — leave it out for a clean text card, with an optional custom background colour behind the text (pair a dark background with light text for a bold panel). And a new Join cards (no gap) group setting lets cards sit flush as a single block, with rounded corners only on the outer edges. Put a text-only card next to an image card in a 2-column group, switch it on, and you've built a landing-page-style banner — text on one side, picture on the other — right inside your storefront. Open any group or card and the new options are already there; nothing to set up.

Date Selection popups now offer a Next X Days layout — a clean horizontal strip of upcoming days, with today and tomorrow clearly labelled, that customers tap to pick a date. You decide how many days to show, and the strip scrolls if there are more. Every popup calendar — the week, bi-weekly, and month views included — now highlights the chosen day in your storefront's theme color, so the picker always matches your brand.

You can now add a Next X Days field to your items and to your checkout form — a clean horizontal strip of upcoming days the customer taps to choose, instead of a full calendar. Choose how many days to show, set an optional order cut-off hour, and it can automatically skip the days you're closed. Today and tomorrow are clearly labelled, and the selected day uses your storefront's theme color. It's the friendlier choice whenever you take orders or bookings only a short window ahead.

Your checkout date/time picker can now show a clean horizontal strip of tappable date cards instead of a full calendar — the same friendly style as the Next X Days field. Pick Date cards for a date-only chooser, or Date cards & predefined time slot to pair it with your fixed time windows shown as tappable cards too. Today and tomorrow are clearly labelled, the days you're closed are greyed out automatically, and the selected day uses your storefront's theme color. It's the mobile-friendly choice when customers order a short window ahead — and the full calendar is still there for longer booking horizons. Set it under Settings → Time Slot → Picker type.

Two upgrades shipped together for PromoCards this week.

1. Group heading and description. When you create or edit a group, two new optional fields sit just under the internal group name: Heading and Description. Whatever you type renders on the storefront right above that group's cards — bold heading, muted lead paragraph — the same way category titles and descriptions read on the menu. Use them when a group needs framing: a Today's specials row reads better with a "Available until 10pm tonight" lead; a category-bottom row of related services can introduce itself with "You may also like" before the cards. Leave both blank and the group renders exactly as it always has. The internal Group Name field is unchanged — that one is still for your own reference in the group list.

2. Every customer-facing field is now translatable. On multi-language storefronts, the group heading and description plus each card's Title, Subtitle, Description, and Button Text all support per-language values. Switch language with the top-bar selector, fill the fields in that language, save. Visitors automatically see whichever language they're browsing in, and any untranslated field falls back to your default language so cards always render. Images, button URLs, layouts, colours, and schedules stay shared across languages — change them once and they apply everywhere.

No migration steps for you — open any existing group or card, the new fields are right there.

You can now drop a pin on the map for each pickup area, so customers see exactly where to collect their order. At checkout, areas you've pinned show a small map and a Get directions button that opens the customer's phone maps app.

You can now upload item photos straight from your phone. Large images are resized automatically, so uploads no longer fail for being too big — no need to shrink them first.

If your storefront runs in more than one language, every text field on a Carousel slide now translates per language: Title, Subtitle, and Button Text. Switch language using the top-bar selector, fill in the text for that language on a slide, and save. Visitors automatically see whichever language they're browsing in, and any untranslated field falls back to your default language so slides always render.

What stays shared across languages. Images (desktop and mobile), the button URL, text position, colours, overlay, transition effect, schedules, and the slide order — change them once and they apply everywhere. Only customer-facing text is per-language.

No setup needed — open any existing slide and the fields are already wired up.

Length counters now show on the Title, Subtitle, and Button Text fields too, matching the rest of the admin.

If your storefront runs in more than one language, the announcement bar's Message and Link Text (used by Button Link and Text Link actions) now translate per language. Switch language using the top-bar selector, fill the fields for that language, save. Visitors automatically see whichever language they're browsing in, and any untranslated field falls back to your default language so the bar never breaks.

What stays shared across languages. The link URL, action type (Countdown / Coupon / Button / Text Link), schedule, colours, and coupon selection are shared — change them once and they apply everywhere. (The coupon's own name and discount text translate inside the Coupons module.)

Link Text now caps at 60 characters (was 100). 60 fits long-form German/French CTAs without letting merchants ship a wall of text on a button. Existing entries longer than 60 keep displaying fine on the storefront but will need trimming the next time you save them.

No setup needed — open any existing announcement and the fields are wired up.
