Fixes
Pre-orders no longer default to tomorrow when the store is opened before opening time.
Today's time slots show again.
Pre-orders show time slots when custom pickup hours don't include today.
Confirmation emails for pre-orders show the time the customer picked, without adding prep time.
Uber Direct orders get a driver assigned.
If Uber Direct can't give a delivery quote, the customer can't pay for that delivery.
A pickup order goes to the store the customer chose, not head office, even when they confirm quickly.
A category left out of a surcharge is no longer surcharged online.
A surcharge deleted in Nomni Console is removed from the online store.
Paid Stripe gift cards are no longer stuck in processing.
Nomni Loyalty points are reversed correctly when an online order is refunded.
AI product recommendations load reliably.
Catering store settings are protected from being overwritten.
Security improvements to online ordering.
Set preparation time for each order type and day
Log in to Nomni Console and go to POS > Online Ordering > Configuration.
Under Order Accepting Behaviour, find Order Preparation Time (mins).
Tick Add preparation time for individual order types and days.
In the table, type the minutes for each day under Delivery, Pick Up and Eat In. Use Quick fill (all days) to fill a whole column at once. Each box takes whole minutes of 1 or more.
Save the page.
What you should see: on your online store, the ASAP time for each order type uses the minutes for that day. For all settings on this page, see Online Store Configuration.
If something goes wrong
The ASAP time looks wrong: check the minutes for today and that order type in the preparation time table, then refresh the online store.
Customers can't see today's time slots: check your opening hours for that order type and today's date in Nomni Console.
A customer under the minimum spend after discounts can still check out: this is expected. The minimum is checked before discounts.
