Release Notes: July 15

DSP Payment Status Visibility

The DSP payment status column within the store list now accurately displays payment activity instead of just showing "N/A" for all stores. This feature is tailored to assist administrators in quickly identifying which stores have enabled payment settings, streamlining the review process. This update aligns with ongoing improvements and resolves the limitations tracked under the Jira ticket reference OO-13871.

Payment Notification for Failed Transactions in Catering Orders

The system now sends an email notification to restaurants if a catering order, ready for POS submission, hasn’t received a successful final payment. This alert enables the restaurant to either pursue payment from the guest or decide to cancel the order accordingly.

Onboarding Survey - Informational Pop-up

An informational pop-up is now available in the interstitial onboarding survey to clarify the difference between Third Party Delivery and Marketplaces. Customers can hover over a dedicated bubble to access detailed descriptions. Third Party Delivery refers to delivery services offered on your website or app, executed by providers like DoorDash Drive or Uber Direct. Marketplaces, such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub, refer to delivery services offered through marketplace websites or apps. This addition aims to reduce confusion and minimize the need for additional clarifications during the onboarding process.

Onboarding Survey - Improved Label Clarity

Our latest update brings clearer labeling to the interstitial onboarding survey, improving your user experience. We've relabeled the 'Which POS will you use?' question to refer to 'Aloha' rather than 'NCR BSL' for better recognition among users familiar with the Aloha name. Similarly, 'Which credit card processor(s) do you use?' now specifies 'Toast Payments' in place of the more generic 'POS Payments,' reducing confusion by accurately reflecting the specific processor option.

Enhanced Onboarding with Direct Help Links

Now, as you complete your onboarding journey, you can access direct links to help articles at each step. These links equip you with instant guidance for setting up essentials like Third-Party Delivery, Lead Times, and the Order Experience Builder. Included links offer clear instructions to ease your configuration process.

Uber Direct: Catering Enhancements

With Uber Direct's latest catering integration updates, your large orders will automatically split into multiple deliveries once they exceed a specific size threshold. Pickup verification now includes the option to use a photo for added confirmation. Scheduled delivery windows are now handled more comprehensively, offering maximum flexibility for organizing deliveries as outlined on the Uber developer portal. Additionally, scheduling deliveries can be planned up to 30 days in advance, ensuring ample preparation time.

Improve Skipgo Collect Point Tests

Enhanced tests to validate both value caching and correct usage of the collect point API endpoint.

Resolutions for Non-Merchant Dashboard Rendering Issues

Updated handling of store selection tables to prevent rendering errors for non-merchant users in specific dashboards.

Error Message Fixed in Restaurant List View

An issue causing an 'Unexpected error' message while viewing restaurant lists is now resolved.

Image URL Corrections for Doordash Integration

You can now correct malformed image URLs and remove the 16:9 crop requirement for Doordash.

Time Windows Settings Update

The visibility of Time Windows and Other Closed Times settings on the General Settings page has been restricted, but existing configurations remain effective.

Menu Item Management Without Permissions

You can now add and remove items from the menu without possessing 'Add / Remove Items' and 'Edit Items' permissions.

Improved Order Page Loading Time

The "Receiving Your Orders" page now loads significantly faster, enhancing user experience.
