1. Square POS Update
Order creation APIs have been updated to include the Location ID parameter, ensuring more accurate order tracking and synchronization between Yelo and Square POS. This enhancement improves location-specific order management and reporting.
2. Additional Fields in Order_status_change Webhook
The ORDER_STATUS_CHANGE webhook for custom payment gateways now includes a new key: amount_to_be_refunded. This provides the exact refund amount based on Yelo’s cancellation policy, enabling the admin to process refunds accurately on their end without manual calculation.
3. Manager-Enabled Admin Checkout Banner
Managers can now create and manage checkout banners, including important messages like delivery delay alerts, if granted the required permissions. This allows timely communication with customers directly at checkout while reducing dependency on Admin for banner updates.
4. City Roles for Managers
Managers can now be assigned city-specific roles, allowing them to manage operations, orders, and settings limited to their designated city. This provides better control, delegation, and accountability across multiple locations.
5. Customer Review Restriction
Customers can now submit reviews for a merchant only after placing their first successful order. This ensures that feedback is authentic and based on actual experience, improving the reliability and credibility of merchant reviews.
6. Referral Flow Enhancement – Flutter App
In the Flutter app, when a customer shares a referral link, the referral code is now automatically prefilled in the signup template for the new user who downloads the app via that link. This streamlines the referral process, ensuring accurate tracking and a smoother onboarding experience.
7. Service-Level Scheduling – Flutter App
The agent flow for Service-Level Scheduling has been implemented in the service-level marketplace - flutter application. This allows the customer to see the agent details before placing the order.
8. Thank You Page for Zero-Amount Orders
Previously, customers placing orders with a total amount of zero did not receive any confirmation. Now, even for zero-value orders, customers will see the Thank You page, confirming that their order has been successfully placed.
9. Show on Map – Pickup and Delivery Tasks
The Show on Map feature is now available for both pickup and delivery tasks. Previously limited to home deliveries, this enhancement allows customers and agents to track all task types on the map, improving visibility and operational efficiency.
10. Ozow Payment Gateway Integration
Yelo now supports Ozow as a new payment gateway, enabling merchants to accept secure online payments through this provider.
11. Snooze Merchant – Admin & Manager Levels
The Snooze functionality for merchants has been enhanced to allow both Admins and Managers(for assigned merchants) to disable listing and services "Temporarily". This provides better control over visibility while maintaining operational flexibility.
12. Tax Name Display Enhancement in Breakdown
At the marketplace level, when only a single tax is applied, its name will now be displayed directly in the order breakdown, regardless of the tax terminology. This provides clearer information to customers and simplifies invoice readability.
13. Referral Flow Wallet
A new Wallet Credit referral flow has been introduced, providing an alternative to the existing promo code–based rewards system. In this new setup, when a customer signs up using a referral code, both the referrer and referee receive a pre-defined wallet credit amount set by the admin. Admins can configure separate reward amounts for each party and set a maximum cumulative referral limit per customer. They can also choose between the Wallet Credit or Promo Code referral methods—only one can be active at a time. This enhancement offers more flexibility and direct value to users through instant wallet rewards.
