Changelog

Run "buy 2 get 1 free", "buy a main get a drink half off", "buy 3 cheapest free", and similar deals — without writing custom rules.

Each BOGO coupon defines:

• What triggers the deal — specific items, a category, or anything in the cart, and how many are needed (Buy X)
• What the customer gets — same items, different items, a specific category, or just the cheapest item in the cart (Get Y)
• The reward — free, fixed amount off, or a percentage off

Deals repeat automatically: if a customer adds enough trigger items for two deals, they get two rewards. Works for food bundles, retail "3 for 2" promotions, services bundling — anywhere "buy more, get more" makes sense.

Create one under Coupons → New Coupon → choose Buy X Get Y as the type.

vCards now support a YouTube video as the cover, in place of the cover image. Paste any YouTube URL into the new YouTube Cover Link field on your vCard's edit page and the embedded video plays at the top of your card.

Useful for showrooms, portfolios, event teasers, or any service where a short video pitches you better than a still photo. Leave the field empty and the cover image continues to be used exactly as before.

Works across all vCard templates — no template change needed.

The static cover image at the top of your storefront can now be replaced with a full hero slider — multiple slides, each with its own headline, subtitle, call-to-action button, and overlay.

Per slide you control:

• Title, subtitle, and CTA button (text, link, open in same/new tab)
• Position of the text on the image (9-point grid) and text colour
• Overlay colour and opacity for readable text on busy photos
• Transition style — fade, slide, or zoom

Auto-rotates with pause-on-hover, swipe support on mobile, keyboard navigation, and dot indicators. Enable it under Settings → Apps → Carousels; while it's off, your existing static cover stays exactly as it was.

Great for promotions, seasonal campaigns, featured products, or just a more lively first impression.

If you're moving from WooCommerce, you can now import your products straight into WhatsMenu — categories, items, options, and variants all come across in one go.

Connect your WooCommerce store under Settings → Apps → WooCommerce Import using your store URL and API keys. After the first import, only changes since the last sync are pulled, so you can re-run it as often as you like without duplicates.

Useful if you've outgrown a WooCommerce setup and want WhatsMenu's catalog and ordering, or if you want to keep both running for a transition period.

Three new QR-based payment methods for Southeast Asia merchants:

• DuitNow QR (Malaysia)
• Touch 'n Go eWallet
• S PAY GLOBAL

Each works the same way as the existing QR Code payment module — your customer scans the QR you upload, pays through their bank or wallet app, and you confirm the payment manually from the order page.

Speaking of QR codes — uploading the QR image into the payment module settings is now smoother. Images are stored alongside your other store assets and the upload supports the same file size limits as your logo and gallery.

Activate any of them under Settings → Apps. You'll upload a QR image and (optionally) a label so customers know which app to pay with.

Adyen joins WhatsMenu's payment options. At checkout, customers get an Adyen-hosted payment link covering the cards and local methods enabled in your Adyen account. Once they pay, the order is automatically marked paid in your dashboard via Adyen's webhook.

Useful if you're already on Adyen for another sales channel and want to consolidate, or if you want access to Adyen's broad coverage of card brands and local payment methods worldwide.

Activate under Settings → Apps → Adyen, then plug in your Adyen API key, merchant account, and HMAC key.

Coupons used to discount the whole cart. Now you can scope a coupon so it only applies to specific items or to a whole category — without giving the customer a discount on everything else they're buying.

When creating or editing a coupon, choose what it applies to:

• All items — original behaviour, discount calculated on the full cart subtotal
• Specific items — only the chosen products / services count
• Specific categories — everything under those categories qualifies

Use it for things like "10% off all cakes", "$5 off any haircut service", or "free delivery on bouquets only" — without touching pricing on the rest of your catalogue.

You can now plug your own Mailchimp account into WhatsMenu so customer details from your store flow straight into your audience. Each store uses its own API key and audience — no shared list.

Once connected, customers are added to your Mailchimp audience automatically when they register or place an order (you choose which trigger to sync on). Their name, email, and phone come along.

Set it up under Settings → Apps → Mailchimp. You'll need your Mailchimp API key, server prefix (e.g. us14), and audience ID — Mailchimp shows them in your account settings.

Two settings to make WhatsMenu feel native for your country, wherever you operate from:

• Default country — choose the country your store is based in. Phone number inputs across the admin and storefront default to the right country code, and customer addresses preselect it too.
• Date and time format — pick how dates and times appear (US-style MM/DD/YYYY, UK-style DD/MM/YYYY, ISO, 12-hour, 24-hour, etc.). Applies everywhere dates show up — order timestamps, reports, scheduled deliveries.

Both live under Settings → Localisation. Existing stores keep their previous behaviour; the new defaults only kick in when you explicitly change them.

Cashfree joins WhatsMenu's payment options. Once activated, customers checking out can pay with cards, UPI, wallets, or net banking — Cashfree covers 120+ payment methods across India and beyond.

Especially useful for India-based stores that already use Cashfree elsewhere, or merchants who want UPI as a checkout option without juggling multiple integrations.

Activate under Settings → Apps → Cashfree, then plug in your Cashfree app ID and secret key. The hosted payment page handles the rest.

Your store's name and description can now be translated for each language you offer. Customers browsing in Malay see the Malay version, customers in English see the English version — automatically.

The language selector in the admin and on your storefront also got an upgrade: it now uses your store's own language labels, so what you type is what your customers see in the picker.

Set translations under your company general settings; the language switcher is in the top bar.

If you take payments via QR code (DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, bank QR, etc.), customers can now upload a screenshot of their payment confirmation right after scanning. The proof shows up on the order details page so you can verify the payment matches before fulfilling.

Reduces back-and-forth on WhatsApp asking for proof, and gives you a clear audit trail for every QR payment. You can reset a proof if a customer uploads the wrong screenshot.

Available automatically for any merchant using the QR Code payment module — no setup needed.

Group your catalogue into time-based sections — breakfast, lunch, afternoon, dinner, late night — and only show categories during their hours. Outside those hours, the categories quietly hide.

You can configure dayparts per day of week, run multiple shifts a day, and assign each category to one or more dayparts. Customers only see what's actually available right now, no more "we don't serve breakfast after 11" replies.

Activate under Settings → Apps → Daypart, set up your time slots, then assign categories from the catalogue. Works for any time-segmented menu — restaurants, salons with morning/evening services, retail with happy-hour pricing, anything that runs on a clock.

Set a daily ceiling on how many orders or how many total items you'll accept each day. Once the limit is hit, the storefront stops accepting orders for that fulfilment date until tomorrow.

Useful for stores with prep capacity ("we can only make 150 items a day"), perishable inventory, scheduled delivery slots, or to keep weekends sane. Order and item caps are independent — set both, just one, or leave either at unlimited. Limits can be set per weekday, with one-off overrides for specific dates.

For caps on a specific product (only 30 of one item), use Stock Tracking on that item instead. Activate Daily Limit under Settings → Apps → Daily Limit. Counts reset at midnight in your store's time zone.

You can now configure whether the prices you set on items already include tax (common in EU, UK, Australia) or are net of tax with tax added at checkout (common in the US, Canada).

The cart and checkout adapt to your choice — tax-inclusive shows the tax breakdown without changing the total, tax-exclusive adds the tax line on top. Customers always see a clear breakdown so there are no surprises at the end.

Set the mode under your store's localisation or tax settings. Existing prices keep working as-is; switching the mode does not retroactively change item prices.

You can now turn off the small "Powered by WhatsMenu" line in your storefront footer. Useful if you'd rather present a fully-branded customer experience or have your own footer copy.

Toggle it under your store settings. Off by default for new stores; existing stores keep the footer until you change it.

WhatsMenu's admin panel and storefront can now be displayed in multiple languages. The first release ships English, Chinese, and Malay — pick yours from the language switcher in the top bar.

Your customers see the storefront in their preferred language too, automatically based on their browser or your default. You'll see the language picker on customer-facing pages so they can switch if they prefer.

More languages roll out in the months ahead. No setup needed beyond turning on the languages you want to offer in your store settings.

A search bar now sits in the admin top bar. Type anything — an order number, a customer name, a product, a settings page — and jump straight to it without clicking through menus.

Especially useful when your catalogue grows past a couple of pages, when you're looking up a specific past order, or when you can't remember which settings tab a particular toggle lives on.

No setup. Open the admin and start typing in the search box at the top. Click a result to go straight there.

You can now plug an email-verification service into your storefront customer signup. When a shopper enters an obvious throw-away or invalid email (mailinator, tempmail, gibberish addresses, etc.), they're asked to use a real one before creating an account.

Helps keep your customer list clean — no more orders tied to addresses you can't email later, fewer fake accounts gaming first-order coupons, and saner marketing exports.

Optional. Activate under Settings → Apps → Email Validation; you'll need an EmailListVerify API key. Leave it off and signup behaves exactly as before.
