What’s New

August 2023

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.
    Admin Dashboard

    Customer Website
  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 CSV report 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 amount 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 are designed to 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 causing confusion and affecting 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.

  1. Restaurant Ebill with QR Code

Restaurant E-Bill, in the simplest term, 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 ebill 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 it 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:

  1. 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. 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.

  1. Banners, Discounts and Promotions Enhanced

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.

 

  1. SMS Country Integration


We’ve upgraded our SMS Country Integration to align with the latest version.

The schedule reminder notification encountered issues in certain specific scenarios, leading to its malfunction. However, we have successfully addressed and resolved these problems.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We are excited to announce that we have recently upgraded our Google Analytics integration to the latest version i.e. Google Analytics version 4. This upgrade has allowed us to enhance our event-tracking capabilities significantly.

With this comprehensive event-tracking implementation, our administrators now have the ability to closely monitor and analyze a multitude of user events. This includes important actions and milestones throughout the customer journey. By tracking these events, our administrators can gain valuable insights into user behavior and engagement.

The upgraded Google Analytics version 4, coupled with the expanded event tracking, empowers our administrators to make data-driven decisions.

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 the 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.

Additionally, the sync of add-ons details with PetPooja has been enhanced, enabling merchants to accurately fulfill customer demands by accessing the complete product details, including add-ons.

Display Delivery Agents on 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.

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.
