What’s New in Sapaad: September 2023 Roundup

• General Release: Sapaad Online multilingual now generally available 
  The Sapaad Online Multilingual feature has now concluded the open beta phase successfully and is now generally available.
  
  You can now easily enable multiple languages for your online store, offering a gorgeous multi-lingual experience to your customers. 
  
  To activate multi-linguality for your store fronts, visit “Setup” > “Add-ons” > “Sapaad Online Settings.” You can then tailor your online store’s language preferences, including setting up a default language for your store-front. Currently, this feature has been rolled out in all Arabic-speaking territories, and will soon be available worldwide.

• Feature Update: “Enable/Disable at-table Payments” – Sapaad Waiter – Android
  We’re excited to introduce the “Enable Payments” option for Sapaad Waiter – Android, our advanced table service app. This update provides greater flexibility over payment collection. 
  
  Now, if you have an NFT enabled device running Sapaad Waiter, you can enable table-side payment collection. Note that this feature is on by default.

• Introducing our all new Sapaad Pay Dashboard
  We’re thrilled to introduce the Sapaad Pay Dashboard—a dedicated payment transaction dashboard that can be accessed from right within Sapaad’s core dashboard.
  
  The Sapaad Pay dashboard provides direct access to real-time updates on all Stripe transactions including successful payments, failed transactions, and cancellations. It displays helpful information including card and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) transaction details like payment method, amount charged, date paid, and more. 
  
  For added convenience, you can search for a specific transaction by simply keying-in the unique reference ID assigned to each t payment in the search field provided. Coming soon: the refund status function for even greater convenience.

• Instant email notifications for successful Pay by Link transactions
  We’ve made significant improvements to the Pay by Link workflow in the CRM module. Pay by Link is a super-convenient payment collection feature that you can use to collect payments from your customers by simply sending a link via email. Pay by Link can be used for various use cases, such as collecting advance payments for bulk table reservations, party hall bookings, and more. 
  
  Now, every successful Pay by Link payment transaction triggers confirmation emails: your customers will receive a thank-you email from your restaurant and you will get a transaction confirmation email.

• Sapaad Dash – iOS: Improved API infrastructure for Application distribution
  To ensure that you are always using the latest version of the application, we have updated our API infrastructure to deprecate older versions of Sapaad Dash. Following this release and a subsequent depreciation of older versions of the API, all Sapaad Dash users, including early beta adopters, must upgrade to the latest version for continued usage. 
  
  This is to ensure that you enjoy the benefits of the continued new features, fixes, updates, and performance improvements we provide to our products. 
  
  
• Mandatory Sapaad Dash – Android app update
  We’ve made a change to ensure all riders use the most up-to-date Android version of Sapaad Dash. It’s now mandatory to update the app. The rider will not be able to proceed past the prompt and must mandatorily update the application. This ensures that riders use the latest version and benefit from the continued improvements, fixes and enhancements we provide.
