Enhancement

1. Custom order in Brand
We have extended support for custom orders to the Brand. Previously, Yelo did not support custom orders for Brand users, but this feature has now been added, allowing for more flexibility and customization within the Brand platform.

2. Flat Discount
We have introduced a new “Flat Discount” feature on the admin panel. Admins can now apply this discount during the order creation process, providing better flexibility in the order creation process with discounts.

 

3. Language specific search on Dashboard
Previously, users on the admin dashboard faced limitations when searching in languages other than English. They were restricted to conducting searches only in English, regardless of the dashboard’s default language setting. We’re pleased to announce that this limitation has been addressed. Users can now perform searches in their dashboard’s default language. For instance, if a product is saved in Arabic and the dashboard’s default language is set to Arabic, users can now search seamlessly in Arabic as well. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and usability for all users across different languages.

4. Search tag
We have introduced a new search tag feature in notification templates to enhance user experience. Previously, it was challenging to locate relevant tags within the templates. With this enhancement, users can now easily find and use the appropriate tags, improving efficiency and usability.

 

5. Fraudulent activities
Some admins encountered fraudulent activities where customers exploited promos and offers by repeatedly deleting and recreating accounts. To address this issue, we have implemented preventive measures on Yelo. Now, if a customer deletes their account and attempts to create a new one with the same email, they must wait for 3 months before accessing the Yelo platform again. Additionally, admins have the option to approve such accounts from the customer profile section if necessary.

6. Dashboard revamp
We’ve implemented significant UI/UX enhancements for both the admin and merchant dashboards. These include streamlined logout processes for easier navigation and quick access to store status features on the merchant panel.

This enhancement ensures a streamlined experience for managing restaurant offerings and customizations.

2. Google sign up issue
There were issues with the merchant signup flow, particularly during the Google sign-up process, where some merchants encountered difficulties. These issues have since been resolved.

These issues have been thoroughly addressed and resolved, ensuring a smoother and more efficient flow for updating order statuses.

This restriction has now been removed, allowing admins and merchants to make any multi-select add-on mandatory and limit customers to selecting only one add-on.

 

5. Order Ready Status Email Template

Previously on Yelo, when an admin or merchant moved an order to the “Order Ready” state, a default notification was sent to customers.

We’re excited to announce a new feature in the catalog section called “Addon Reorder.” With this feature, admins, merchants, and managers can now customize the sequence of addons on Yelo to better suit their needs. This enhancement provides users with greater flexibility and control over the arrangement of addons within their catalog.

Bug Fixes

Enhancements

1. Language Support 

Previously, when saving a discount name in a language other than the default (English) and switching the dashboard’s language, the discount name wouldn’t reflect the change.

All other functionalities remain unchanged.

4. Content Pages  

Previously, content pages were exclusively visible on the SaaS platform in the header section. However, they were not accessible in the header section of themes. We are pleased to announce that we have improved the support for content pages by extending their visibility to themes as well. This enhancement ensures that content pages can now be seamlessly accessed and navigated from both the SaaS platform and themes, providing users with a more cohesive and integrated experience across all sections of the platform.

Previously, order creations were not permitted from the merchant dashboard when menus were enabled for merchants.

Alongside this enhancement, we have introduced a new feature called Auto Printing. By enabling this feature, users no longer need to repeatedly click on the print button. Once activated, the printer will automatically print the order receipt after acceptance, streamlining the printing process and providing a more efficient experience for users.

Instead, they can create an add-on once and assign it to multiple products as needed. Additionally, this feature allows users to disable, enable, edit, and create add-ons and add-on options globally, streamlining the management process and providing greater flexibility.

1. Limiting CSV Export Rate:

We’ve enhanced our CSV export functionality by implementing rate limiting, ensuring a smoother user experience. 

Export processes are now capped at 5 minutes to prevent overwhelming system loads, enhancing overall performance. Users won’t be able to initiate new exports while one is in progress, preventing concurrency issues. This improvement guarantees smoother and more reliable export operations. The system monitors export durations, terminating processes exceeding the time limit to prevent resource exhaustion. 

Users attempting to export during an ongoing process will be notified and prompted to wait until the current export concludes. These changes ensure efficient and reliable CSV exports, enhancing usability for our users.

3. Taxation based on Payment Type:

In response to regional taxation requirements, our platform now dynamically adjusts taxes based on the chosen payment method. This ensures compliance with tax regulations and provides a seamless experience for both administrators and users. For example, in regions like Pakistan, where Value Added Tax (VAT) rates may vary depending on the payment mode Online payments incur a 5% VAT, while cash payments incur a 15% VAT, administrators can now effortlessly manage tax rates for each scenario. This enhancement ensures compliance with regional tax regulations while providing administrators with greater flexibility and control over their taxation strategy.

This has been rectified to ensure accuracy between documentation and implementation. Users can now rely on updated documentation for accurate feature references.

 

10. Multi-language Support in Emails:

In this update, we’ve enhanced our email templates by adding multi-language support. If an email template is modified in a particular language, users will receive the modified email in that specific language.

Resolved an issue where an amount mismatch occurred on the payment page, specifically for pay-later transactional charges in native apps.

6. Missing Back Button on Tracking UI for IOS:

Fixed an issue where the back button was absent on the tracking UI for IOS devices.

We’ve made significant UI enhancements to the filter section, resulting in a more visually appealing and user-friendly experience.

Enhancements

1. Auto-fetch Country Code for Phone Numbers: 

Administrators now can establish a default country code for the Customer website/apps/merchants/managers, enhancing efficiency and precision. In the past, the system detected the country code based on the customer’s IP, but with the prevalent use of VPNs, this approach could yield random country codes. Customers, often not attentive to country codes, inadvertently entered invalid phone numbers in their orders.

To address this challenge, we have introduced the feature of setting a default country code. When no specific country code is chosen, the system will continue to derive the country code from the customer’s IP, maintaining the same functionality as before. This update ensures a more reliable and accurate handling of phone number information.

 

2. Payment Page UI Fix: 

On the website payment page, extended payment names were previously causing disruptions in the Payment Cards UI, leading to a broken user interface. We are pleased to announce that we have addressed these corner cases, ensuring that the UI now functions seamlessly, even with lengthy payment names.

 

3. Android Native- Mappr Update:

4. CustomPG Dynamic Image:

Previously, the custom payment gateway configuration displayed a default image. In our latest update, we’ve empowered administrators with the ability to personalize the payment gateway further. Now, admins can upload any image of their choice with specified dimensions, and this custom image will be prominently featured on the payment screen.

 

5. Google Calendar Update:

We have updated our Google Calendar Integration as per the latest documentation provided by Google for the Service Marketplace. With this update, the integration ensures that new bookings made in the service marketplace will be automatically reflected on Google Calendar. This improvement enhances the synchronization between our platform and Google Calendar, providing users with a seamless and real-time representation of bookings.

 

6. Default Location on Signup: 

We’ve made significant enhancements to the default location settings for new sign-ups for admins and merchants. Previously, users were encountering a ‘-‘ symbol in place of the default location. Now, with our latest improvements, users in India will automatically receive ‘New Delhi, India’ as their default location, and users in the USA will have ‘600 1st Ave, Seattle Suite 114, Seattle WA 98104’ set as their default location upon signing up.

 

7. Removed Unnecessary Payment Methods:

8. Payhere Payment Gateway:

We have recently updated the PayHere payment gateway as per the latest payment gateway documentation. This update addresses issues that were previously encountered during certain payments on the platform, ensuring a more reliable and seamless payment experience for users.

 

9. Authorise.Net Payment Gateway: 

Some customers encountered challenges during the card addition process on the Authorize.net Payment gateway. This was due to a limitation on Authorize.net, allowing a maximum of 10 cards to be added. A specific issue arose when customers attempted to add cards that were already present in Yelo. In such cases, the previously added card was getting updated instead of a new card being added on Yelo. While Authorize.net considered it as two cards, it resulted in issues. 

We have resolved this issue by implementing a fix that allows for smooth card addition for new customers. However, for existing customers, website administrators need to delete redundant card data on the Authorize.net dashboard to ensure proper functionality.

 

10. Store Timings:

Previously, store timings were only visible on the website when the store was open. However, when the store was closed, no store timings were displayed. We have enhanced this feature, and now store timings are visible in both scenarios, considering both the marketplace status and the store timings. This ensures a more comprehensive and informative display of store information to users.

 

Bug Fixes

1. Product Duplication Issue:

In the admin panel, the product duplication feature was experiencing functionality issues. Specifically, when duplicating a product with add-ons, the order of the add-ons was altered in the duplicated product. We have rectified this issue to ensure a seamless product duplication process, maintaining the correct order of add-ons in the duplicated product.

 

2. MRP Updation Fix:

In specific instances, the MRP (Maximum Retail Price) updation encountered issues, particularly during updates from the CSV file. These issues have been successfully addressed, and the MRP updation process is now functioning as expected.

When exporting customer data through CSV files and dealing with multiple images uploaded in a single input box, there were issues with the proper display of multiple image data. We have addressed this concern, and now, when exporting customer data with multiple images in a single input box, the data is displayed accurately and comprehensively in the CSV file.

 

5. Emails Disabling Issue:

In specific instances, emails were being triggered despite being disabled. We have identified and addressed this issue, ensuring that email notifications are now properly deactivated when disabled, providing more accurate control over the email communication settings.

The QR code scanners within native apps were encountering issues due to an outdated version. We have addressed this by upgrading the required components, ensuring that the QR code scanners now function seamlessly within the native apps.

 

9. CyberSource Payment Gateway: 

In the CyberSource payment gateway, some customers experienced various issues during the order payment process. These issues included instances where payments were deducted from their accounts but not added to their wallet, orders were not created, or there were random transaction failures. We have successfully addressed and resolved these issues. As a result, the payment flow within the CyberSource payment gateway is now operating as expected, ensuring a smoother and more reliable experience for our customers.

 

10. Payment Method Terminology: 

The terminology for the “Pay on Delivery” payment method was not updated on the platform after modifications in the terminologies section. We are pleased to announce that this issue has been addressed, and the terminology now correctly reflects the updates made in the terminologies section, ensuring smooth and accurate representation on the platform.

 

11. Catalog issue in IOS: 

In our iOS customer native app, specific catalogue items were not being fetched, and in certain instances, products and subcategories were not retrieved within the categories. We have successfully identified and resolved these issues, ensuring that the app now functions as expected with the proper fetching of catalogue items, products, and subcategories.

Initially, the Payfast payment gateway lacked support for Merchant Subscriptions
Explore Merchant Subscriptions:https://help.jungleworks.com/yelo/configure-customer-and-merchant-subscription-in-marketplace/#gsc.tab=0.We are pleased to inform you that we have expanded Payfast compatibility to include Merchant subscriptions, and the integration is now operational and functioning seamlessly. Additionally, we have implemented enhancements to handle false payment responses more effectively,  improving the overall reliability of payment processing.

This enhancement allows for more thorough integration of promotional features within the specified contexts, providing users with greater flexibility and functionality in utilizing promotional codes during order creation and bill breakdown processes. Explore Open Apis: https://docs.jungleworks.com/yelo/

4. Product Description:

In our hybrid apps and the mobile version of the website, visibility issues occurred with product descriptions and images, characterized by an excessive amount of white space between the images and descriptions, impacting the overall presentation. We are pleased to inform you that we have successfully resolved these issues, ensuring an improved and seamless visual experience for users.

 

5. NOTP now works with OTP:

In the scenario where NOTP (Number OTP) is enabled alongside OTP (One-Time Password) verification, there was a logical inconsistency where the system prompted users for OTP during NOTP signups. We have rectified this logic, and now, if a user signs up using NOTP with OTP verification enabled, they no longer need to provide an OTP for NOTP signups. This adjustment ensures a more coherent and user-friendly signup process.

 

6. Single-Store Delivery Method:

Previously, in a single-store setup, users had to enable delivery configuration first from the delivery section and then separately from store configuration, an unnecessary step. We have streamlined this process, and now, in the case of a single store, users can control their configuration directly from the delivery section, eliminating the need for redundant steps.

7. Order Rating and Ongoing Orders:

We are excited to announce the integration of the order rating feature directly onto the merchant listing page, featuring a new and improved user interface. Concurrently, we have upgraded the ongoing order user interface to meet industry standards, providing users with a more intuitive and refined experience. This enhancement enables users to conveniently rate their orders directly from the merchant listing screen, further contributing to a streamlined and user-friendly interface. Additionally, a new ongoing order user interface has been introduced to enhance the overall user experience.

8. Listing Order for Saved Address:

Users can now benefit from a streamlined process for managing multiple addresses, featuring the convenient prioritization of Home and Work locations. The latest Home and Work addresses are automatically positioned at the top of the list, ensuring swift access to the most frequently used locations.
To illustrate, if a user has 3 Home addresses (H1, H2, H3 – with H3 being the latest) and 2 Work addresses (W1, W2 – with W2 being the latest), the pinned order will be as follows:

• H3: Latest Home address is pinned.
• W2: Latest Work address is pinned.
• Additional addresses are added sequentially based on the latest updates. Furthermore, the current address is prominently displayed at the forefront of the address list. Upon selecting any address for delivery, it automatically moves to the first position, enhancing visibility and facilitating easy access.

 

9. CVV optional config for Powertranz:

Users now can designate the Card Verification Value (CVV) as optional for saved cards on future transactions.
This will save this advancement and provide users with the option to toggle between making CVV mandatory, thereby delivering a more customizable and user-centric payment experience.

To access this feature, users can conveniently navigate to the integration section, followed by Powertranz Payment. From there, users can proceed to the ‘Edit’ option, where they will find the setting to make CVV optional.

 

 

10. Content Page:

Previously, content page editing was not functioning correctly in specific cases. We have addressed and resolved these issues, ensuring that content page editing now works properly across all scenarios.

11. App Billing:

We are pleased to announce the implementation of the app billing concept within our administrative dashboard. This includes essential details such as the next app billing date, the current status of applications (active or inactive), and the categorization of the app type—whether hybrid or native—used by customers. Notably, this feature extends to encompass merchant app data, offering a comprehensive overview. This newly introduced system facilitates the automatic generation of monthly app maintenance invoices. It distinguishes between customer and merchant invoices, generating them separately based on the specific app type being utilized—hybrid or native. This meticulous approach ensures clarity and transparency in understanding the configuration of apps administered by the system. Admin can check the same in their billing section.

 

12. Currency Validation:

We have implemented additional security measures in the order creation process, with a particular focus on the platform currency. Previously, some clients experienced discrepancies where a different currency was displayed in the order history compared to the dashboard currency. The recent updates address these issues, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency in currency representation throughout the platform.

13. Spanish Language:

In the case of the Spanish language, certain strings were not being handled correctly and were appearing in English. We have successfully addressed and resolved this issue.

 

Bugs Fixes

1. Custom Language:

Previously, ALT was not supported for the merchant dashboard, specifically on the signup page. We have addressed and resolved these issues, and now ALT is functioning as expected.

2. Address Selection on the Merchant Dashboard:

In the previous version of the merchant dashboard, an issue arose during the order creation process where customer-saved addresses were not displaying correctly. Instead, a specific default address was consistently appearing for all customers in the default address field. This discrepancy has been addressed in the latest update.

 

3. Paystack Payment Gateway:

Previously, customers faced challenges purchasing gift cards through the Paystack payment gateway in specific cases. We are pleased to inform you that we have successfully addressed and resolved these issues,  ensuring a seamless experience for customers when buying gift cards via Paystack.

4. New Merchants Address:

Previously, during merchant signups, the system would populate the merchant address field with a random address. Moving forward, when a merchant signs up, the system will now add the administrator’s address during the initial phase. This adjustment ensures more accuracy and consistency in the merchant address information.

New Features

• “Cart Value” Key for Tookan:
  
  Now you can pass the “Cart Value” to TOOKAN. In our latest update, we’ve introduced a new key for Tookan that enables the transmission of ‘Cart Value’ to TOOKAN during order creation. By creating a support ticket, customers can avail this feature. Why use this key: This key was introduced in response to a specific concern on the Tookan side. When discounts are applied to orders in Yelo, our clients expressed a desire to deduct the discounted amount from the agent’s wallet. Previously, we were sending the discounted amount (total amount – discount), which made it difficult for clients to access the non-discounted value.
• reCAPTCHA for Customer Signup:
  
  Now, reCAPTCHA is integrated with Yelo for customer signups. This integration bolsters the security of the signup process, adding an extra layer of protection. Administrators can activate this feature effortlessly by navigating to the ‘Configure’ menu, then selecting ‘User Settings,’ ‘Customers,’ ‘Signup Verification,’ and choosing ‘reCAPTCHA’.

• Geofence Based Task Pricing from TOOKAN:
  
  We’ve introduced a new feature in Yelo – Geofence-Based Task Pricing from Tookan. This feature allows administrators to create geofence-specific pricing rules within a single template on TOOKAN. This ensures that delivery charges align with the designated rules, offering a seamless and flexible pricing structure. To enable this feature, administrators can access the Yelo extension. Why use this? Suppose you need to apply distinct pricing rules for Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3, each with different base fares and additional delivery charges based on the distance traveled. In such cases, you can utilize this option to configure the platform accordingly.

• Service Booking in the Service Marketplace:
  
  We have now integrated a new feature on the service marketplace that allows merchants to configure their order-receiving preferences based on store hours. With this enhancement, merchants can choose to receive orders exclusively during their designated store timings, ensuring that orders are created only when the store is open. Alternatively, if the toggle is disabled, merchants have the flexibility to receive orders around the clock, providing them with greater control over their service availability and customer interactions.

Enhancements

• Order Details on Shipday:
  
  We’re excited to announce an enhancement to our system. In addition to the existing data, we are now pushing comprehensive product details on the ship day.

  “Accessing Delivery Management System (DMS) logs has become more convenient, now available directly from the dashboard. In the past, customers encountered difficulties in tracking DMS updates during order deliveries. To enhance transparency and provide easy access to this information, we’ve integrated DMS logs alongside individual orders within the ‘Order Logs’ section on the dashboard. This ensures that customers can quickly access relevant DMS details for every order.”

• Product Discounts For Master brand:
  
  Previously, the feature for applying product discounts was unavailable for the master brand. We’re delighted to announce that we’ve expanded this functionality to include support for product discounts on the master brand.

• Elastic Search Results:
  
  We’ve implemented a range of strategic improvements and enhancements to our Elastic Search infrastructure.

• Tracking Link UI:
  
  We’re thrilled to introduce enhancements to our tracking link and order details user interface (UI).

• TapPay payment gateway

Yelo now works seamlessly with TapPay, a new payment gateway tailored for the Taiwan region. This makes it super easy for users to conveniently make payments in the local currency, “TWD.” To set it up, the admin just needs to enable the “TapPay” toggle under Payments in extensions and provide the necessary information.

• Subscription Tax Integration

We are excited to introduce an enhanced feature that empowers administrators to apply taxes to both customer and merchant subscriptions. This capability is seamlessly incorporated into our system, allowing administrators to establish specific subscription taxes within the Taxes Module. As a result, when creating or modifying subscriptions, administrators can easily assign these taxes, providing comprehensive control and flexibility in the financial management of subscription-related aspects.

 

• Product Search by SKU

We’re excited to introduce a new update to our search module, improving the product search functionality across various platforms. With this update, administrators can now search for products by their SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) on the admin panel, customer web app, as well as Android and iOS apps. This feature offers a more comprehensive and efficient method for finding products based on their distinct identifiers, enhancing the user experience across all platforms.

• Merchant Subscription and QR Code Management:

We’ve expanded QR code functionalities for merchants. Merchants can now conveniently download their store’s QR code directly from their Configuration section. Additionally, administrators can oversee these QR codes through a dedicated merchant subscription. This feature not only increases convenience for merchants but also grants administrators improved control over QR code management, offering a comprehensive solution for QR code utilization.

Enhancements

For certain admin accounts where it’s necessary to grant stakeholder access while restricting their view of the billing page, we offer the ability to hide pricing details from the dashboard. Now, administrators can easily hide the billing section on their accounts by simply creating a support ticket.

• Resolved Issue: Persistent Expected Delivery Time Display in Mobile UI

In the previous version of our hybrid app with the new UI, users could always see the expected delivery time on their mobile devices, even when the admin had disabled it. We’re happy to let you know that we’ve fixed this issue, and now it works correctly as intended.

• Dashboard Theme Page Upgrade

We’ve made some exciting enhancements to the “Theme Page” on your dashboard! Previously, the “Create Theme” option was tucked away inside the Explore Themes pop-up window. However, we’ve improved this feature by moving it outside of the pop-up for easier access. You’ll now find it conveniently located under the “Edit Theme” section. For viewing these changes, kindly take a look at the image below:

 

 

Additionally, we’ve fixed an issue where theme images weren’t displaying properly when users applied a theme within the dashboard. We’re pleased to share that this issue has been successfully resolved, resulting in an improved overall user experience.

Improved Billing Summary

In response to market requirements and to ensure alignment with industry norms, we’re excited to introduce a revised billing structure for our web application. We have made the following key adjustments:

1. The “Product Total” terminology will now be displayed as the “Cart Value” on both the customer website and admin dashboard.

   

   

2. For enhanced transparency, all applicable taxes and charges will now be consolidated under the “Taxes” section on the website.
3. In the event of additional charges being applied to the cart value, the combination of the cart value and these supplementary charges will be presented as the “Subtotal“. Marketplace-level and store/merchant-level taxes will be applied to this “Subtotal” value. The summation of these taxes will be presented as the “Total“.
   
4. Users will find the inclusion of Delivery Charges, Tips, Total Amount, and Additional Charges total conveniently grouped under the “Net Payable Amount“.
   
   These modifications underscore our commitment to providing a more intuitive and user-friendly billing structure. By aligning with industry norms and catering to market needs, we aim to enhance the overall user experience and ensure greater transparency in transactions.

Outstanding Amount CSV Report

We have introduced a new option within the customer detail section that empowers both admin users and managers. They can now effortlessly export an outstanding amount of CSV reports for a particular customer. This CSV report provides a comprehensive list of orders that carry outstanding balances for that customer. Earlier, administrators had to manually search for orders with outstanding amounts linked to a specific customer. This addition streamlines the process of managing outstanding amounts and offers improved insights for more effective financial control.

Long Description in combined CSV

Earlier, the combined CSV lacked support for uploading long descriptions. Now admin users, merchants, and managers can include long descriptions in the Combined CSV for catalog bulk import. Furthermore, as part of this update, we’ve implemented a series of minor fixes to improve the add-on functionality. 

 

Additional Charges Key On Tookan

We’ve introduced a significant enhancement by incorporating an additional charge key within Tookan’s functionality. Previously, the additional charges were not visible in task details on the Tookan admin dashboard. Users can now readily view and track the additional amount on the Tookan admin dashboard, presented separately for improved clarity. To take advantage of this feature, administrators are required to initiate the process by creating a support ticket with our dedicated support team.

Version Update

We are excited to introduce a significant update to our Android and iOS apps, bringing them in line with the latest versions. This upgrade encompasses various enhancements and optimizations, ensuring a more refined and feature-rich user experience.

Database Upgrade

We are pleased to announce that we have completed an upgrade to our database, bringing it up to the most current version available. This proactive enhancement ensures that our system benefits from the latest features and optimizations, resulting in improved performance, security, and overall functionality.

Map Radius

In the previous scenario involving the Mappr, the Map Radius feature lacked support within Yelo’s native apps. We’re excited to announce that we’ve made significant strides in extending this feature’s functionality. As a result, Map Radius is now fully supported on our native apps, offering users a comprehensive and seamless experience.

Integration UI Upgrade

We are pleased to introduce an upgraded Integration Module UI, aimed at providing users with an enriched and more intuitive interface. Alongside this enhancement, we have implemented several optimizations geared towards delivering an enhanced user experience.

Enhanced Payment Security Layer

We have taken proactive measures to enhance the security of our payments page by introducing additional layers of protection. These security enhancements mitigate vulnerabilities and provide users with a safer and more secure payment experience. Your data and transactions are now further safeguarded against potential threats, reinforcing the integrity of our payment processes.

Msg91 Enhancement

Previously it was required for campaign variables on the MSG91 dashboard to perfectly match those on the Yelo dashboard. This was confusing and affected the user experience. To address this, we’ve revamped the flow. Now, we fetch variables straight from MSG91, so clients no longer need to sync up variable names with Yelo. This change should make things much smoother for everyone involved.

Security header on the website

When accessing a website through a browser, a series of request headers are sent from the browser to the server. In response, the server sends back HTTP response headers. These headers play a crucial role in the exchange of information between the client and server, forming an integral part of the HTTP protocol. The headers establish a framework for communication and guide the behavior of web pages as browsers interact with servers. Comprising pairs of key-value information separated by colons, HTTP headers encompass various facets of the browsing experience. To enhance the security of websites, we are implementing web security headers. These headers fortify the website’s defenses, bolstering overall security measures as part of the browsing experience.

Bug Fixes

• City Level Delivery Charges:

Previously, when dealing with city configuration, there were issues with the accurate functioning of city-level delivery charges. We are pleased to announce that these bugs have been successfully addressed and resolved. With the necessary fixes in place, users can now experience consistent and reliable city-level delivery charge calculations. 

• Content Pages on Hybrid App:

In the context of the new UI for our hybrid app, there were issues with the proper functionality of content pages. With the necessary fixes in place, content pages now operate seamlessly within the hybrid app’s new UI. This enhancement ensures a smoother and more reliable user experience for our customers.

• Store Ad Banner:

Previously, the “Add Banner” feature encountered functionality issues within the store account when the Appetite theme was applied. We’ve successfully resolved this issue. With the necessary fixes in place, merchants can now seamlessly utilize the “Add Banner” feature even while using the Appetite theme.

• Category Discount:

We’ve taken a step forward by discontinuing the category discount option in the merchant dashboard. This decision comes as a result of its previous lack of support on Yelo’s platform. By removing this feature, we’re ensuring a more cohesive and streamlined experience for our merchants, aligning with the capabilities of our platform.

• Hippo Agents:

Previously, an issue arose involving Hippo agents. Whenever updates were made to merchant details on Yelo, corresponding agents on Hippo were automatically activated. We are pleased to inform you that this issue has been successfully resolved. Going forward, these agents will no longer be triggered automatically upon merchant detail updates on Yelo, ensuring a smoother and more controlled experience.

2. Restaurant Ebill with QR Code

Restaurant E-Bill, in the simplest terms, is electronic bills. These are the bills sent and paid to/ by the customers or businesses either using SMS, WhatsApp texts, PDFs, or Emails. To analyze its origin, the digitalization of the payment and billing process has become a global trend in all industries. The purpose here is to create transparency, efficiency, and quick ways of doing business. Opting for online payment and getting e-bill has now turned into a common norm. Especially for the restaurant industry, which was heavily affected due to the pandemic, this new trend has helped retain and manage customers.

Perks of E-bills and Invoices:

• • Easy Automation: The system keeps track of all the payments and expenses made in the business. This new way of maintaining digital records of all bills has helped the owners and the staff save time. All the data on payment now is simply fed and stored in the system. This data can be anytime, anywhere access, and analyzed for crucial business decisions.
  • Reduces Costs Of Printing: On average, a restaurant spends around ₹5000-6000 annually on printing rolls used for printing bills. This might not seem like a big amount, but for a small-scale restaurant, this is a considerable chunk of expense from the profit.
  • Convenient & Reliable
  • Improves Customer Experience: Customers are always on the lookout for new and unique restaurant experiences. One of the reasons for is curiosity is technology in the restaurant industry. Today, technology has provided every single one of us with the agency to assist ourselves. And so, when this new trend of digital payment and ebills came in, there were eager to know more and explore it.

Taking all of the above into consideration, we have introduced a QR code on “Order Placed” Invoices and the same can be seen on the thermal printer and customer order-placed emails. By scanning that QR code, users can see their invoices on their devices. After scanning the QR code, a soft copy will be visible on your device, but some devices/browsers may ask permission to download the invoice first.

Please Note: It is mandatory to enable order placed email from the dashboard. If the customer order placed email is disabled, the QR code will not be visible on any invoice. Kindly refer to the screenshot below:

3. Enhanced Customer Verification

We are thrilled to announce the introduction of our latest feature, “Enhanced Customer Verification“. This new capability empowers administrators to access a list of unverified customers and proactively reach out to them, prompting authentication. We believe this enhancement will not only optimize your marketing investment but also significantly improve customer retention, thus fostering a stronger and more fruitful relationship with your users.

Understanding the Challenge:

In the dynamic world of business, acquiring new customers is a crucial but costly process. Each potential customer requires a significant investment of time and resources to be converted into a loyal patron of your services. However, in the past, there was a challenge in ensuring that every signup led to a verified customer. Sometimes, a customer’s signup would remain unverified due to various reasons – either because the customer did not authenticate themselves or because the administrative approval was pending.

The Cost of Unverified Customers:

Every unverified customer represents an investment that has not yet paid off. Incomplete signups may have resulted from customer indecision, technical issues, or simply a lack of awareness about the verification process. These unverified signups meant that your marketing efforts and costs might have gone in vain.

Enhanced Customer Verification to the Rescue:

With our Enhanced Customer Verification feature, we are handing the reins of customer verification back to you, the administrators. By providing you with a clear list of unverified customers, you can take proactive steps to reconnect with them and request the necessary authentication. This not only ensures a smoother onboarding experience for customers but also allows you to maximize the return on your marketing investment.

Benefits of Enhanced Customer Verification:

1. 1. 1. Cost-Effective Customer Retention: The cost of retaining an existing customer is considerably lower than acquiring a new one. By reaching out to unverified customers and guiding them through the verification process, you have a greater chance of retaining them as active users.
      2. Improved Customer Engagement: Personalized communication to unverified customers shows that you care about their experience. This thoughtful approach can lead to stronger customer engagement and loyalty.
      3. Enhanced Data Accuracy: Verified customer data ensures that you have accurate information for marketing campaigns, product personalization, and targeted offers, leading to more effective interactions and conversions.
      4. Streamlined Administrative Workflow: With the clear distinction between Admin Side Verification and Customer Verification, your administrative team can now efficiently manage customer authentication, making the verification process smoother and quicker.
      5. Positive Brand Image: By investing in customer retention efforts, you showcase your commitment to providing exceptional user experiences, which ultimately enhances your brand reputation.

4. Merchant Unavailability

We have introduced a merchant unavailability option on the service marketplace. From now merchants/admin/managers can mark themselves as unavailable for a particular date and time. You can access this option under the merchant’s “Configuration” section.

Kindly note:

• • This feature is only available in the service marketplace for order-level scheduling/service-level scheduling.
  • This feature update is not available for Product Marketplace as inventory is used to manage availability, unlike schedule in the case of service level scheduling

 

5. Marketplace Popup renamed to Welcome Popup

We’re delighted to announce that the “Marketplace Pop Up” has been renamed to “Welcome Pop Up” on our platform. To access this feature, go to the “General Settings” section on the “Marketplace” page.

 

6. Integrated AfterPay payment gateway

   We have integrated with AfterPay, a new payment gateway, making it easier for users to make payments using a variety of simple payment integrations. To enable this payment gateway, the admin can simply toggle the switch from the “Integration” section and provide the necessary information.

Kindly note:

• • This payment gateway is supported by Nexdo clients.
  • This is only supported for order creation.
  • This payment gateway only works on native apps only.

We have improvised our gift card and wallet APIs by implementing the necessary security parameters to enhance the security of Gift Cards or wallets.

7. Banners, Discounts, and Promotions Enhanced

   We have improvised on the number of products that were showcased while creating Banners, discounts, and promotions. Earlier a maximum of 200 products from the catalogue could be showcased in this list. Now with this new upgrade on the platform, there is no limit on products displayed in the product dropdown for discounts, promotions, and banners or wherever there was a list of products displayed as a drop-down to choose the desired products. This improvement will enable our users to efficiently find and select the desired products for their discounts, promotions, and banners.

 

8. SMS Country Integration

We’ve upgraded our SMS Country Integration to align with the latest version. This enhancement ensures that our system is now fully optimized to leverage the latest features and capabilities offered by SMS Country. As a result, our SMS services are more efficient, secure, and reliable, providing a seamless and improved communication experience for our users.

 

Bug Fixes

1. Android Search [ Merchant Rating Issue ]

Previously, there was an issue with the global search on our Android native apps, where it would stop working whenever customers rated merchants under specific circumstances but we have fixed this issue. 

2. Brand ( D2C) Minimum Order text changes from the home screen, product listing, category listing & product search

Earlier there was an issue with the minimum order string on our Android native app where it was displaying incorrect information. We have addressed this issue and corrected the minimum order string. Additionally, we have also handled this string in all languages for a better user experience.

3. Resolved custom payment gateway issue w.r.t enabling wallet

There was an issue when a custom payment gateway (pg) was enabled admin users could not enable the wallet option. This issue has been resolved. Now, admin users can easily enable the wallet option even when the custom payment gateway is active.

4. Scheduled order reminder

The schedule reminder notification encountered issues in certain specific scenarios, leading to its malfunction. However, we have successfully addressed and resolved these problems. As a result, the schedule reminder notification is now functioning flawlessly across all cases, ensuring users receive timely and accurate reminders as intended.

Welcome Pop up for Single stores and AI stores

Numeric Values for Razorpay accounts

Previously, merchants using Razorpay payments encountered an issue where they were unable to enter numeric values in the name field while adding their bank account details.

Enhanced Product Tooltip

We have enhanced the tooltip in our hybrid mobile applications. Previously, when a product had a long name and the tooltip was clicked, the information wouldn’t display correctly.

These updates have improved the functionality of our custom payment gateway.

Our goal is to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for all users.

Android Customer Native App – Navigation Flow Correction:

We improved the navigation flow on our Android customer native app to address inconsistencies. Previously, when there was only one store available or in a single storefront, the app would direct users to the merchant details page, disrupting the flow. Now, in both scenarios, users are directed to the appropriate pages for a more streamlined experience. These changes were made to enhance user satisfaction and optimize the app’s navigation.

Custom Payment Gateway (Custom_PG) Name Issue and Configuration Update:

Additionally, we have made configuration updates in the merchant settings to enable easy toggling of custom payment methods.

Display Delivery Agents on the PetPooja Dashboard

This enables PetPooja to show delivery agents details on their orders, enhancing transparency and improving the overall customer experience.

PetPooja Add-Ons Enhancement

Previously, add-on details were not visible in the order details section on PetPooja when customers ordered products with add-ons. This caused inconvenience for our clients.

This improvement enhances clarity and transparency in the ordering system, leading to a better customer experience.

Image Upload Issue with “Add More Product” Checkbox

Previously, admins faced an issue when trying to create a product.

Now admins can upload the same image for multiple products, streamlining the product creation process.

Improved Product Linked Banners for Mobile UI

In Yelo, admins can link specific products to banners for offers or seasonal promotions. Initially, this feature was limited to the web UI, but now it has been extended to the mobile UI.

Instead, the banner now successfully redirects users to the specific product listing page, ensuring a smoother and seamless user experience.

Fixed Issue with Banner Click In Mobile Version

Previously, users were unable to click on banners in the mobile view of our website that had product linking enabled. This prevented them from being redirected to the product listing page.

This improvement ensures a smoother and more seamless user experience.

Fixed Google Login Issue on Marketplace

Previously, customers on our marketplace were unable to log in or sign up using the Google signup option, causing inconvenience.

This improvement enhances the user experience and provides a more convenient login process.

Previously, store banners in the mobile view appeared distorted and were not visible. However, we have resolved this issue, and our system now displays store banners correctly in the mobile UI. This improvement enhances the visual appeal and provides a better user experience.

Veg and Non-Veg Filter Overlap Fixed

Checkout Page Image Upload Fix

FE Store Listing: Offset Issue Resolved

Previously, scrolling quickly on a restaurant listing page before fully loaded data caused the top restaurants to disappear and the list to change. However, we have resolved this issue by improving data loading, ensuring that users can scroll quickly without losing visibility of the top restaurants.

Tookan Tracking Option Visibility Updated

Previously, the Tookan tracking option was visible immediately after placing an order. However, we have now fixed this issue and made the tracking link option visible only when the order status changes to dispatched.

Introducing Versioning: Keeping Your App Smooth and Compatible

We’ve implemented a versioning system in the Yelo SaaS platform to ensure a seamless user experience and compatibility with different devices. Here’s a breakdown of the three versions:

Major Version: Signifies significant changes to features and functionality, such as new payment gateways or third-party integrations.
Minor Version: Includes minor updates like bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance improvements.
Patch Version: Addresses critical bug fixes and security updates that require immediate attention.
Frontend Versioning:
Each frontend device (Android, iOS, Web) has its unique version number in the format X.Y.Z (Major.Minor.Patch). For instance:

Android: 2.0.1
iOS: 1.5.3
Web: 3.1.2
Backend Versioning:
The backend schema updates are based on the frontend version. The schema version aligns with the frontend version number. For example:

If the frontend Android app is on version 2.0.1, the backend schema version will also be 2.0.1.
Any changes to the backend schema will result in a new schema version. Users must update their apps to ensure proper functionality.
You can find these versioning details under the customer details section in both the admin and manager dashboards. Check out the attached screenshot for a visual representation.

Simplify updates, enhance compatibility, and deliver a smoother app experience with our versioning system.
