What's new

The latest features, improvements, and fixes as we build Meat Tracker.

  1. New

    A third shop page layout: Cover

    Cover runs your photo edge to edge across the top of your shop page, with your headline, intro line, hours, address, and phone written on it in white.

    Pick it under Shop page, Design, Layout. Banner and Profile are still there.

  2. Improved

    A better foot to your shop site

    The bottom of every page on your shop site now shows your address with a directions link, your week's hours with whether you are open right now, and your phone and email, each in its own column.

    Your logo sits beside your shop name, and your Instagram and other links are small round buttons under it.

  3. Improved

    A tidier top of your shop page

    Today's hours, your address, and your phone number now sit as three short lines under the buttons, each with a small icon. Tap a line to see the week's hours, get directions, or call.

    The cover photo beside your headline keeps a landscape shape instead of stretching tall.

  4. Improved

    A tidier dashboard home

    Your sales, orders, visitors and conversion rate now sit in one card with their chart: tap a figure to see it plotted below.

    The date range lives in that card's corner, since it changes those figures and Top products, and nothing else on the page.

    Figures no longer show a 0.0% change before there is anything to compare.

  5. Improved

    Likes and Add to cart move like the app

    Liking a post on your shop page now pops the heart with a small burst, the same as in the Meat Tracker app.

    Adding a cut turns the button green with a check, and the cut's photo drops into the bag at the top of the page, which counts it as it lands. The cart no longer slides open on every add.

  6. Improved

    Your weekly ad shows in full on your shop page

    The newest post on your shop page now shows its whole photo, so a flyer keeps its dates and prices instead of being cut off.

    The earlier posts beside it line up with the photo and show the top of each flyer.

  7. Improved

    A calmer menu at the top of your shop

    The menu links at the top of your shop page use lighter text, so your shop name stands out.

  8. New

    Write the line under your headline

    Your shop page no longer repeats your story at the top. The short line under your headline now has its own Intro line box in Your shop, on the web and in the app.

    Leave it blank and we fill it in from how you take orders. The empty box shows you the line customers see now.

  9. Fixed

    Your accent color in more places

    The Get shop emails button on your shop page now uses the accent color you pick in Shop page, like your other buttons.

    The reminder email sent when a shopper leaves items in their cart now shows your logo and accent color, like your other shop emails.

  10. Improved

    Adding to cart in the app

    In the phone app, adding a cut now shows a green tick, sends the cut's photo into the cart, and gives a small buzz, so shoppers know it went in.

    The share and cart icons at the top of a shop page are now the same size.

  11. Fixed

    A round of fixes

    Today's sales in Analytics now compare against yesterday up to the same time, not the last few hours of yesterday.

    When your staff answer a comment under a post, you no longer get a notification or a new-comments dot for it.

    Links in setup and plan emails now open the right shop if you work at more than one.

    In the app, finishing payments setup no longer ticks off your hours or address and logo by mistake, and people you remove from Staff stay removed.

    Order times in the app now follow your shop's time zone, so an order listed under today isn't called missed.

  12. Improved

    Setup now covers your hours, address, and logo

    The setup card on your dashboard and in the app now asks for your opening hours, your address, and your logo, so customers know when to come in and where to find you.

    Tap a step to go straight to where you fill it in.

  13. New

    Setup reminders by email

    If your shop can't take orders yet, we'll email you two days after you pick a plan, and again a week in. Each email lists only the steps you have left, like setting up payments or adding your first product, with a link to each one.

    Once every step is done, the emails stop. You can turn them off in Settings > Notifications.

  14. New

    Open a shop from the app

    Already using the Meat Tracker app to buy? Tap Start selling on the You tab, type your shop's name, and your shop is made.

    You pick a plan on the web. Then the Admin tab walks you through setting up payments, adding a product, and publishing.

  15. New

    Tell customers their pickup is ready

    Big orders take time to cut. Now a pickup order has a Mark ready button. Tap it once the order is packed, and the customer gets an email and a phone notification saying it's ready to collect.

    When they come in, tap Mark picked up to close the order. They aren't emailed twice.

    Each order also shows the pounds for every cut sold by weight, so you know how much to cut before you start.

  16. New

    Customers can buy a cut from your post

    When you write a post in the app and pick a photo from Your cuts, that cut shows as a tag on the photo with its price and a plus to add it to the cart.

    It shows in the app's feed and on the post. To leave a cut off, tap the X by its name before you post.

  17. Fixed

    App fixes: comments, posts, videos and receipts

    • Opening New post or the + menu no longer clears the dot for new comments. It clears when you open Posts.
    • A post written on the website with its own layout, like a photo between paragraphs or a half-width photo, can no longer be edited from the phone, so a quick fix there can't rearrange it. Edit it on the website.
    • Dragging along a video's bar now scrubs through the clip.
    • On Android, the menu on a post shows every option, including Delete, and closes with Back.
    • A customer's receipt in the app shows free delivery as its own line, so the numbers add up to the total.
    • Orders, Messages, Search and your Admin card show what changed since you last looked, the first time you open them.
    • Sharing your shop from an empty Orders screen ticks the setup step.
    • When a customer changes their email, your replies to their messages go to the new address.
    • A delivery address changed at the last step of checkout is checked against your delivery distance too.
  18. Fixed

    New posts on the website save as drafts

    • A new post saves as a draft as soon as it has anything in it, even a video with no title. The title is optional, like on the phone.
    • Clicking away from a new post asks whether to save it as a draft or discard it, instead of losing it.
  19. Improved

    Orders are at the top of the app's Admin tab

    • Your shop's orders open from a card at the top of Admin, with the number still to do on it. The bar at the bottom is now Home, Search, Cart and Admin.
    • Your customers' orders open the same way, from a card at the top of their You tab, so their bar matches yours.
    • The Admin tab has a new icon, a person in a circle, and its count is your orders to do plus reviews to publish.
    • The cart's bag has a new, clearer shape everywhere it shows, and every icon in the bar at the bottom is drawn in the same line.
  20. Improved

    A simpler, more consistent app

    • One word for each thing: Pickup, Delivery and Shipping on every screen, and "Mark picked up" on an order.
    • Follow looks and works the same everywhere. Tapping Following asks before it unfollows.
    • An order's screen is plain rows now, with one Refund button that opens on the full amount.
    • The Admin tab's boxes match, and it says your shop isn't published once, not three times.
    • Posts, Post stats and Subscribers show their title once.
    • Delete sits behind the three dots at the top of every editor: posts, products, newsletters, sales and discount codes.
    • On Hours, Closed for now is at the top, above the week.
    • Products, Deals and Reviews have the same tabs as Orders, and shop logos are round in every list.
    • Posts has two tabs, Posted and Drafts, so a saved post no longer sits in with the ones already out.
    • On a new post, scrolling your photos slides the big preview out of the way so the grid fills the screen. Tap a photo to bring the preview back.
  21. Fixed

    Fixes in the app

    • A video you pick from the photo grid on a new post uploads again, the same as one from the photo button.
    • An order waiting to be weighed now shows in your customer's Orders list right after they pay.
    • A long Orders list stays where you scrolled to when you come back to it or mark an order done.
    • Subscribers opens every time from Newsletters.
    • A post's reader count only goes up when someone opens the post, not when they scroll past it.
    • The plus on a product works again after you restock it.
    • A finished order says Picked up or Delivered on your side too, the same words as the button you tapped.
    • A day with nothing due no longer says you have no orders yet when you do.
    • The clock and battery stay readable over a light cover photo.
    • Analytics with no sales yet is a short line, not an empty chart.
    • When a photo or video doesn't upload, the app says so in plain words instead of an error code.
    • After you post, Home takes you to the top of the feed, where your new post is.
  22. Improved

    A Cart tab in the app, and videos you can scrub

    • The cart is a tab at the bottom of the app now, with a count of what's in it. Every shop's cart is on that one page, each with its own Check out.
    • Messages moved to the top right of Home, with the number of unread chats on it and on the Home tab.
    • Tap a video in a post and its controls come up right on it: pause, the time, and a bar to drag through it.
    • The heart under a post is the same size as the comment and share buttons beside it.
  23. Improved

    Your shop at the top of the app's Admin tab

    • The Admin tab opens on your shop's cover photo, logo, and name, with whether you're open right now.
    • Shop page, Website, and Dashboard are buttons right under it.
    • Sales and discount codes are together under Deals, and Help is in Settings.
  24. Improved

    Photos in the app open smoothly

    • Tap a photo and it grows out of the spot you tapped to fill the screen, the way photos open on your phone.
    • Close it with the X and it shrinks back into place.
  25. Improved

    Editing a post in the app opens right away

    • Edit post opens at once, with the keyboard up and your words ready to change.
    • See how it did, Send as a newsletter and Delete post sit behind the three dots next to Save.
    • If the post was changed on the web while you had it open, Save asks you to reload instead of undoing that change.
  26. Improved

    A post in the app is cleaner to read

    • An open post looks the same as it does in the feed: shop, photos, then like, comment and share, then the words.
    • The shop's name and when it posted sit on one line at the top. Tap it to open the shop.
    • The comment button opens the comments. With none yet, it opens ready for you to write the first.
    • On your own post, the three dots hold Edit post, See how it did and Delete post.
  27. Improved

    The app opens and moves faster

    • The app opens quicker, and Home shows your last feed right away instead of grey boxes.
    • Photos you've already seen show up at once instead of fading in again.
    • Lists don't redraw when you come back to them, so scrolling stays smooth.
    • Order photos load smaller copies, so the Orders tab fills in faster on a weak signal.
    • Marking an order ready, refunding or canceling answers sooner. The customer's email and notification go out right after.
  28. Improved

    Messages in the app are simpler to use

    • Messages is one list of all your chats, newest first, like the Messages app on your phone.
    • A chat waiting on you shows in bold with a dot. There's nothing to file or mark done.
    • If a customer has an order you're still getting ready, it shows under their message with when it's due. Tap it to open the order.
    • Quick replies sit over the message box when a customer is waiting: "Your order is ready for pickup", "Yes, we have it" and more. Tap one, change it if you like, and send.
    • New message opens with the search ready to type in.
  29. Improved

    Customers can add photos to reviews in the app

    • Customers rate each cut they bought with a tap on the stars, then add a few words and up to 4 photos.
    • Tapping a star on their order in the app starts the review with that star picked.
    • The Reviews screen in your app now shows each review's photos, so you see them before you publish.
  30. Improved

    A faster, cleaner Reviews page in the app

    • Reviews opens right away with your reviews already on it.
    • Tabs for To approve, Published and Archived, each with a count.
    • Each review shows the customer, their stars, what they bought and when, with Publish, Archive or Reply right under it.
    • Swipe a review left to archive it, or hold it for more.
  31. Improved

    Sales are easier to run in the app

    • Pick start and end dates from a calendar instead of typing them.
    • Each cut you pick shows its photo and its sale price, with the old price crossed out. Pick all ticks every cut in one tap.
    • A summary at the bottom says what the sale does in plain words, with one cut's new price worked out.
    • Save sits in the top right. An existing sale opens with an Active switch at the top.
    • Running sales show in green at the top of your list. Swipe a sale left to turn it off, or hold it to delete it.
  32. Improved

    A faster, simpler Staff page in the app

    • Staff opens right away with your team already on it.
    • Type an email and tap Invite. The page says what staff can do before you send, and confirms under the box when it goes.
    • Expired invitations have a Resend button on the row.
    • Tap someone to email or remove them, or swipe left to remove.
  33. Improved

    Discount codes are easier to make in the app

    • Pick start and end dates from a calendar instead of typing them.
    • Each kind of discount shows the number it needs right under it, like Percent off with the % beside it.
    • A summary at the bottom says what the code does in plain words, so you know what customers get before you save.
    • Save sits in the top right. An existing code opens with an Active switch and a Share button at the top.
    • Running codes show in green at the top of your list. Swipe a code left to turn it off, or hold it to share, copy, or delete it.
  34. Improved

    A faster Products list in the app

    • Almost twice as many products fit on the screen. Each one shows its price and how many are left, in amber when it's running low and red when it's gone.
    • All, Sold out, and Hidden tabs show what needs restocking at a glance, and shops with a longer list get a search bar.
    • Each product has one button for what it needs most: Sold out, Restock, or Show. Swipe a product left to hide it, or hold it to change its count or see it in your shop.
  35. Improved

    Newsletters in the app look like the email

    Writing a newsletter on your phone now looks like the email your customers get.

    • Send sits in the top right. Before anything goes out, it shows who gets it and how many.
    • Send a test to your own inbox first.
    • Photos show full width, in the spot they land in the email.
    • Pick the day and time it goes out, the same way you schedule a post.
    • Add photos, schedule, and save a draft from the bar above the keyboard.
    • Your list of newsletters shows each one's first photo, its subject, and when it went out and to how many. Start a new one from the pencil at the top.
    • A sent newsletter opens with its subject at the top and when it went out under it, then the email as your customers got it.
    • Your subscriber list opens instantly from Newsletters.
  36. Improved

    A cleaner product editor in the app

    • Save sits at the top and lights up once you change something. Backing out with changes asks first.
    • Sold by each, lb, or kg now asks for the right figures, and shows the line shoppers will read, like $22.49 · $20.45/lb · approx 1.1 lb.
    • Tap a photo to make it the cover.
    • Sizes and cuts sit in one table: name, price, and stock on each line.
    • One Show in shop switch says whether customers can see it, and tells you when it needs a stock count first.
  37. Improved

    A clearer Analytics screen in the app

    • Your sales for the day, week, or month lead the screen, with a bar for each day. Hold a finger on the bars to see any one day.
    • Orders, visitors, conversion rate, and average order sit together underneath, each with how it moved.
    • Best sellers show their photos and open the product when tapped.
    • New: how visitors get from your page to an order, and where your visits come from.
  38. Improved

    Newsletters open right away in the app

    Tapping Newsletter to write one now opens the email at once, so you can start typing while your subscriber count fills in. Drafts and sent newsletters open the moment you tap them, and turning a post into a newsletter goes straight to the draft.

  39. Improved

    A cleaner Admin tab in the app

    • Each row fits on one line, with where it stands on the right, so the whole tab reads at a glance.
    • Last 7 days shows whether sales, orders, and visitors went up or down against the week before.
    • Products says how many cuts are sold out, and Newsletters says how many people are subscribed.
  40. Improved

    Edit your shop page the way customers see it

    In the app, Shop page now opens on your cover photo with your logo over its edge, the way your page looks to customers. Tap either photo to take a new one, pick one, or remove it. Your name and story are typed right under the logo, and your logo is cropped square so it fills its circle.

    Typing is easier too. The page keeps your cursor in view above the keyboard, even deep in a long story, and a bar on the keyboard steps you up and down through the fields with a Done button to close it.

  41. Improved

    Fairer percent-off codes on weighed cuts, and a way back onto your list

    • A percent-off code on a weighed cut now takes that percent of what the cut really weighs. Before, a light cut got more off than the code promised and a heavy one got less.
    • Someone who unsubscribed from your emails can join again from your signup form. We email them a link, and they're back on your list once they tap it.
  42. Improved

    Edit shop opens right away in the app

    Tapping Edit shop, Shop page, or Hours and closing opens on your filled-in details with no wait. Saving sends only what you changed, so it never undoes an edit you made on the web.

  43. Improved

    A cleaner cart in the app

    • Customers can swipe a cut out of their cart, and tap Undo if they change their mind.
    • Weighed cuts say "about" in the cart, with the same note your shelf shows.
    • The cart shows when a customer has the last of a cut in it.
    • Cuts without a photo show a small meat mark instead of an empty square.
  44. Fixed

    Weighed orders, free orders, disputes and more

    • Charging a weighed order for less than its hold no longer reads as a refund, or emails your customer that one was made.
    • A free order you can't fill can now be canceled. Your customer is emailed and the stock goes back on the shelf.
    • A bank question that closes without a chargeback now says the dispute is closed, not that you won it.
    • During a sale, the app shows a weighed cut's per-pound price marked down, the same price the scale charges.
    • British shops can list delivery areas like M1 or S, and E14 no longer takes in E1 addresses.
    • A kept draft in the app no longer goes back over changes you made on the web since.
    • A video that finished uploading is no longer thrown away when your signal drops while it processes.
    • Links in our emails, like View order, bring you back to that order after you sign in.
    • Posting from the app and the web at the same moment tells your followers once.
  45. Fixed

    Photos you pick for a post are kept when you back out

    Closing the New post screen in the app with photos picked now asks if you want to save a draft, the same as when you've typed something.

  46. Improved

    A cleaner New post screen in the app

    Your shop's name sits next to your logo, so you can see which shop you're posting as.

    Photos show bigger and in their own shape, right under your words. Tap one to see it full screen.

    Post is a filled button in the top corner, and stays grey until there's something to post.

    Tap anywhere below your post to keep typing.

  47. Improved

    Your week at a glance in the app

    The Admin tab now shows your sales, orders and visitors for the last 7 days. Tap them to open Analytics.

    A Share button sits next to View shop, so you can send your shop's link from the same place.

    Hours show in green while you're open, and Shop page says whether your site is live.

  48. Improved

    See the week ahead on the app's Orders tab

    Today in the app now lists the pickups booked for the next seven days under Coming up, so a quiet day still shows what's next.

    The Today and To do tabs show how many orders are in each.

    With nothing booked at all, Today gives you a button to share your shop.

  49. Fixed

    Disputes on your orders, payment alerts, and shops outside the US

    When a customer disputes a payment, you now get an email naming the order and the date to answer by, and the order page shows where the dispute stands until it closes.

    If Stripe pauses your card payments because it needs more details, we email you and your dashboard says so, instead of customers finding out at checkout.

    Shops outside the US:

    • Set your shop's country in Store details. Shipping, checkout addresses and tax follow it.
    • Postcodes from the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are read correctly, in addresses and in delivery areas.
    • Phone numbers outside North America keep the format you typed.
    • Receipts print letters like ł and ř, and the euro sign.

    Also fixed:

    • Saving a product while photos are still uploading now waits for them.
    • A product edited somewhere else since you opened it asks you to reload instead of undoing those changes.
    • Cuts whose every option is sold out now show as sold out everywhere.
    • Order ready, refund and cancel emails carry your logo and colors, and hide Meat Tracker branding on Pro.
    • Receipt emails show refunds and your tax name, like VAT or GST.
  50. Fixed

    Faster app, safer accounts, and a few dashboard fixes

    The app's Home, Orders and Messages load with far less work behind them, which you will notice most as your shop grows.

    • Saving the Shop page only changes what you edited, so it never reopens a shop you closed from your phone.
    • A campaign button with no link now opens your shop instead of stopping the send.
    • Your old shop link can't be taken by another shop.
    • Resetting your password signs you out everywhere else, and changing your email from the app needs a recent sign-in.
    • Messages you have read, or marked done, stop counting as waiting, while new ones still alert you.
  51. Fixed

    Campaigns, schedules and your time zone

    Saving a scheduled campaign keeps it scheduled, and schedules for posts and campaigns are set in your shop's time zone, whatever computer you set them from.

    • A link like /products in a campaign now opens your shop, and a button with no link can't be sent.
    • Changing a campaign on the website no longer changes who it goes to.
    • Addresses that mark your email as spam are taken off your list.
    • A shop with no time zone set picks up yours the first time you open the app, so pickup times and open hours are right.
    • Staff invites survive signing up or signing in.
  52. Improved

    Chats in the app show who you're talking to

    A chat with a customer now opens on their name, email and how many orders they've placed with you. Tap their latest order to open it.

    • The button in the corner now says Done. It moves the chat to your Done tab and takes you back to your messages.
    • A "Seen" note shows under your reply once the customer has read it.
    • One line above each part of the chat says the day and time, instead of a time under every message.
  53. Improved

    A new product page in the app

    Your cuts look better in the app. The photos fill the top of the page and swipe, and the page says what customers ask before they buy.

    • Your shop's name and star rating sit above the product name, one tap from your shop.
    • Stock, how long it takes, and pickup or delivery are listed plainly under the price.
    • Cuts priced by weight say the price is an estimate, as they do on your website.
    • Reviews of the cut show on its page, with its stars under the price.
    • More of your cuts show at the bottom, so customers keep shopping.
    • Customers can share a cut, and the Add to cart button shows the total.
  54. Fixed

    Weighed orders, sales figures and messages

    Orders charged by weight now use the card's real hold deadline, which is shorter than seven days on some cards, so the weigh-by date you see is one you can trust.

    • Canceling an order whose card was on hold now emails the customer.
    • Total sales on Orders and Analytics are after refunds, and top products use what weighed cuts actually sold for.
    • Tax on a weighed order with a discount code is worked out on the discounted amount.
    • Delivery areas accept ZIP+4 codes typed with or without a dash, and postal code prefixes like K1A.
    • In the app, reading a message or moving it to Done clears it from your count, so the next message still alerts you.
    • Each customer can review an item from an order once.
  55. Fixed

    Carts, closed shops and the app's editors

    A cart holding something your shop no longer sells now says which item it is and takes it out, on the website and in the app, instead of stopping at checkout with no way forward.

    • Customers can still open their order page after you pause your shop.
    • A shop that is not published yet no longer shows its products to anyone who knows where to look.
    • The price per pound shows the sale price during a sale, and the free delivery bar counts your discount codes.
    • Name-your-price cuts can take a price on the website.
    • In the app, editing a product, post, code, sale or campaign always starts from what is saved now, so a save never undoes a change made since.
    • A shop can't be deleted while it has open orders.
  56. Improved

    Stock from unpaid checkouts comes back sooner

    An unpaid order that never got as far as a card now puts its cuts back on sale after about 15 minutes, instead of an hour. A customer whose card was declined still gets the hour to try again.

    • One customer can only hold a few unpaid orders at your shop at a time.
  57. Improved

    Signing in on your own domain asks first

    When a customer signs in on your own domain to follow or comment, they now see one screen that names your shop and your domain, and tap to confirm.

    Checkout there fills in their name and email. Their saved shipping address fills in on your meattracker.app address only.

  58. Fixed

    Product links keep working after a rename

    Renaming a product no longer changes its web address. Links in your campaigns, pages, buttons, QR codes, and anything you've shared keep opening the product.

    • Product cards in campaigns you already sent work again, even for products renamed before this fix.
    • Deleting a product or collection now tells you which discount codes only cover it and will stop working.
    • A discount code whose products or collections are gone is marked "Covers nothing" in your discount list.
  59. Fixed

    Stock, reviews and shop email fixes

    Saving a product no longer puts back stock that sold while the editor was open. If you change the count, it moves by the amount you changed it.

    • Deleting a product keeps its reviews. They stay on your shop as shop reviews.
    • For cuts charged by weight, the package price now shows the estimate from the price per pound, instead of a field that was ignored on save.
    • A bulk price change on a weighed cut updates its price per pound too.
    • Pickup orders now get automatic tax at your counter's address.
    • Test emails now go to your own account email.
    • Only the shop owner can change the shop's contact email and email sender.
  60. Fixed

    Pickup times at checkout, and a few app fixes

    The pickup time buttons at checkout on your shop's website were blank. They show the time again, like "4-5pm".

    • If you run more than one shop, tapping an order or message notification in the app now opens it on the right shop.
    • The app's Today list no longer shows yesterday's pickups as today's when it opens with no signal. They show under Missed pickups.
    • Orders waiting to be weighed now say so on the Today list.
    • Customers searching in the app now find cuts by kind ("poultry"), with or without accents ("jalapeno"), and as one word ("tbone").
  61. Improved

    Faster, tidier Messages in the app

    Swipe a chat to the left when you're finished with it, and it moves to Done. No need to open it first.

    • Open and Done show how many chats are in each.
    • Chats waiting on you have a bold name and a dot.
    • The search box shows up once you have enough chats to need it.
    • The pencil opens your list of customers and followers right away.
    • You can also hold a chat to mark it done.
    • Under your chats, the app suggests a few customers and followers you haven't written to yet.
  62. Improved

    A cleaner Admin tab in the app

    Every row on the app's Admin tab now shows where things stand before you open it, like "12 live" under Products or "Open now · Closes 6pm" under Hours.

    • View shop and Dashboard now sit under your shop's name.
    • Your name, address, notifications, and appearance moved to one Settings screen.
    • Sign out is at the bottom of the tab.
  63. Improved

    Posting from the app starts with your photos

    The plus on Home now opens Create: a post, a product, or a newsletter, with your latest posts and drafts under them.

    • A new post opens on your camera roll. Tap photos and clips in the order you want them, then Next to write.
    • Your cuts puts your product photos one tap away.
    • Your photos start uploading while you write.
  64. Improved

    Customers can message you more easily

    In the app, a customer's Messages tab now suggests shops to write to, starting with the ones they have ordered from, and a pencil at the top lets them pick any shop.

    • Their orders show a photo of the meat and a label: Preparing, Collected, Delivered, or Refunded.
    • On your Messages tab, the pencil at the top starts a new message.
  65. Improved

    Mark orders collected from the Orders list

    In the app, every order waiting to be handed over has a Mark collected button on its row. Find the customer, tap it, and the order is done.

    • Missed pickups sit in the list with the rest of the day, with a Call button when you have their number.
    • The Orders tab is now Today, To do, and Done.
    • Add product has moved to the top of the Admin tab.
  66. New

    Shoppers find your shop from their Home feed

    A few posts into the app's Home feed, shoppers now see a short list of shops to follow, nearest first when their phone shares where they are.

    • Each shop shows its logo, its town, and photos from its case.
    • Shoppers can follow you right there, without leaving the feed.
  67. New

    Your customers get a Messages tab

    Customers now have a Messages tab in the app, the same one you have. Every shop they've written to is there, and a number on the tab tells them you've replied.

    Your replies no longer get lost when a customer closes the app.

  68. Improved

    A new Search tab in the app

    Search in the app now opens on something to look at, so shoppers find you without knowing your name.

    • The shops you follow sit at the top, then a map of shops near you.
    • Cuts are grouped by kind (Beef, Pork, Sausage and more). Tap one to see every shop's cuts of it, or switch to the shops that sell it, with their stars and a Follow button.
    • A grid shows the newest posts and cuts from every shop.
    • Typing searches shops and cuts at once.
  69. Improved

    Comments slide up in the app

    Tap the comment icon on any post in the app and the comments slide up over the page, so you never lose your place in the feed.

    • A row of emoji sits over the comment box for a one-tap reply.
    • Drag the panel up for more room, or down to put it away.
  70. Improved

    A cleaner shop page in the app

    Your shop's page in the Meat Tracker app shows your numbers next to your logo: products, your star rating, and followers.

    • A new Reviews tab shows what customers have said, with your replies under them.
    • Your social links sit as icons under your description, and your phone number sits with your hours and address.
    • The Shop tab lays your products out two across, photo first, with a plus to add one to the cart.
    • Follow and Message sit side by side, and a share button is in the top corner.
  71. Improved

    Smoother photos and taps in the app

    Posts in the app's feed have even spacing, and full-screen photos close with a quick flick up or down.

    • Double tap a photo to zoom in on the spot you tapped.
    • Following a shop, adding to your bag, saving, refreshing, and placing an order now give a small tap you can feel.
  72. Improved

    Online ordering waits for payments

    Online ordering can't be switched on until payments are set up, so the switch never says you're taking orders that nobody can pay for.

    • Flip it on early and you're told why, with a button to set up payments. In the app, ordering turns on by itself once Stripe is done.
    • Staff are told the shop owner needs to set up payments first.
  73. New

    Finish setting up from the app

    The Admin tab in the Meat Tracker app now shows what is left to open properly: accept payments, add a product, publish your shop, share your link.

    • Accept payments opens Stripe's setup right from your phone and comes straight back when you are done.
    • If online ordering is switched on but something is still missing, the switch says what.
    • A shop whose plan isn't active yet sees a plain note and a button to finish on the web.
  74. Improved

    A clearer introduction to Meat Tracker

    Our homepage now puts online ordering up front with a shorter, clearer headline.

  75. Fixed

    A post's video shows the moment you open it in the app

    Opening a video post from the feed in the app showed its words but not its video until the rest of the post had loaded, which on a slow connection looked like the video was missing. The video is there straight away now, and one you start playing keeps going when the rest of the post arrives.

    • A video or photo you put inside a callout, a quote, or a list now shows in the app too, in the feed and on the post.
  76. Improved

    Videos play in the feed, and uploads show how far along they are

    In the app, tapping play on a video in the Home feed plays it right there, instead of opening the post.

    When you add a video to a post in the app, its tile shows a bar and a percentage as it uploads, then says Processing until it is ready to post.

  77. Improved

    Tap a photo to see it full screen, and a round of app fixes

    Any photo in the app now opens on its own: pinch to zoom, drag to move around it, double tap to go straight in, drag down to close. Posts, your shop's page, and product photos all do it.

    • The camera in the post editor works again. It records a clip with sound, which is what it was missing.
    • The post editor lost the i button, and Post sits in the corner on its own. Your drafts moved onto the toolbar beside Save draft.
    • You can fix a comment you left. Every comment you can act on now carries a mark at the right: your own offers Edit and Remove, and a comment on your post offers Remove. A rewritten comment says "edited" beside it, in the app and on your website. Before this, removing one needed a long press nobody could find, and editing was not possible at all.
    • Rows in your settings open when you tap anywhere on the line, edges included.
    • Your shop's page reads better: the About text is a step smaller than your name, and the posts line up with everything else on the page.
    • Your email is shown in the app but changed on the website. It is what every sign-in code goes to, so it is not something to change from a phone in your pocket.
  78. Fixed

    Four fixes in the app

    • Posts on your shop's page now carry your logo, the way they do in the feed.
    • The Posts, Shop, and About bar on your page has a rule above and below it, so it reads as one strip.
    • Home kept the new cuts near the bottom of the screen when the shops a customer follows had not posted yet. They sit under the shops again.
    • The app no longer asks a new customer where they are the moment they sign up. It asks when they open the map, which is the only place it needs to know.
  79. Improved

    A simpler product note

    The freshness note on your product pages now appears as plain text alongside the product details.

  80. Improved

    A simpler ordering section

    Your homepage now explains ordering in three short, numbered steps with clearer headings and room to breathe. Pickup, delivery, and shipping details stay at checkout.

  81. Improved

    Message your shop from the top of the page

    Customers can now contact you with the Message button beside Shop now. We removed the repeated visit section; your address and hours stay at the top.

  82. Improved

    Simpler headings on your homepage

    Your shop’s homepage now leads straight into your latest posts, and introduces your shop’s background with “Our story”.

  83. Fixed

    Centered hearts under posts

    The heart beside a post's like count now sits centered in its circle.

  84. New

    Sell a cut before you weigh it

    You can now price a cut by the pound and charge what it actually weighs. Turn on Charge by actual weight on any product sold by the pound or kilo, set your price per pound and a typical weight, and customers order “a ribeye, about 1.2 lb, about $24”.

    • Nothing is charged at checkout. We hold the estimate plus the variance you allow on the customer's card, and take the real amount once you weigh the cut.
    • Weigh an order from the order page or from your phone at the counter. Every box starts at the estimate, so a cut that came out as expected is one tap.
    • Came in light, and they pay less. Came in a little heavy, and they pay a little more. Came in past the variance you set, and we charge the most you held rather than surprising anyone, and flag the order so you can sort it out.
    • The customer gets an email the moment you weigh it, showing what each cut weighed and what they paid.
    • Card holds last seven days. Your order list, your Today screen, and your phone all show what is still waiting on the scale.
  85. New

    Email your subscribers when a post goes out

    A post now has a switch, Also email this post to your subscribers. Flip it and the post goes to your list as a newsletter the moment it publishes, now or at the time you set. It stays off unless you flip it, so a busy week of posts does not fill anyone's inbox.

  86. New

    Likes and comments on the web

    Customers reading a post on your website can now like it and leave a comment under it, signed in with their Meat Tracker account. You get the same notification as when someone comments from the app, and you can remove any comment under your own posts.

    • Under each post on your site, the number of likes and comments shows beside the date.
    • Customers can choose what we tell them about from their account on the web, and mute any shop they follow, the same settings as in the app.
  87. Fixed

    Follow works on your own domain

    On a shop with its own web address, the Follow button under a post could not tell whether the reader was signed in, so it sent everyone to meattracker.app and left them there. Now the first tap signs them in and puts them straight back on the post they were reading, with the follow already done. After that, following is one tap and no detour.

    • The same fix covers the rest of your site: the account link in your header knows a signed-in shopper, their saved pieces follow them across devices, and checkout fills in the name and address of a customer who has bought from you before.
    • Sending someone to sign in never carries their Meat Tracker sign-in through the address bar. The trip uses a one-time pass that lasts two minutes and only works in the browser that started it and only on your shop.
  88. New

    Reply to a review

    A review is half a conversation until you answer it. You can now write a reply under any review you have published, and it shows on your shop underneath the review, marked as you rather than another customer.

    • Reply from Reviews in your dashboard, or from the Reviews screen on your phone.
    • The customer gets an email telling them you answered, with your reply in it.
    • You can fix a reply or take it back down at any time. Fixing one does not email them again.
  89. New

    Ship an order for a flat rate

    You can now post orders as well as hand them over. Turn on shipping under Settings, Pickup, delivery and shipping, set one flat rate per order, and customers get a Ship it option at checkout.

    • Set an amount that covers a box, and an optional order total that makes shipping free. One box or five, near or far, the customer pays the same.
    • A shipping order collects a full address at checkout, and it shows on the order, the packing slip, and the order emails.
    • Orders you post get their own Shipped status. Open the order and press Mark as shipped, and the customer gets an email saying it is on its way. Your phone shows them in a To post group.
    • Shipping goes to addresses in your own country. Anywhere else is turned away at checkout before anyone pays.
  90. New

    Choose what we tell you about

    You can now turn off whole kinds of notification instead of all of them. Orders, comments on your posts, and posts from shops you follow each have their own switch, on your phone and in Settings under Notifications.

    • Mute a shop you follow and its posts stay in your feed without buzzing your phone. There is a switch on the shop's page in the app, and a list of every shop you follow in your notification settings.
    • Your choices are the same in the app and on the web, so turning comments off in one turns them off in both.
    • Receipts, payout, billing, and account emails still always send.
  91. New

    Customers find the shops nearest them

    The Meat Tracker app now sorts Explore by how far away each shop is, and has a map with a pin for every shop. Tap a pin to open that shop.

    • Your address is what puts you on the map. Fill it in on Your shop and we work out where you are; shops already using one are added on their own, nothing to do.
    • Each shop in the list says how far it is, like "2.4 mi away".
    • A customer who would rather not share where they are still sees every shop, in the order they always did.
  92. New

    Customers can follow your shop in the app

    Customers who use the Meat Tracker app can now find your shop, follow it, and see what you post. When you publish a post, everyone following you gets a notification on their phone, and the post shows in their feed.

    • Posts can carry a video. Upload it from the post editor and it plays on your website.
    • Your shop has a page in the app: hours with an open-now line, your address with a tap to Maps, your phone with a tap to call, your posts, and a few products that open your website.
    • Post from your phone. The app has a Posts tab: take a photo, add a title and a few lines, and it goes out to your followers and onto your website's feed at once.
    • Search on the shops page at meattracker.app now finds a shop by name or town.
    • The app has a light, dark, or match-your-phone setting under More.
  93. Improved

    Your shop stays hidden until you publish it

    A new shop no longer goes live the moment you create it. Fill in your hours, address, and a few products first, then flip the switch at the top of Your shop. Until then, visitors see a short back-soon page and you see the shop itself.

    • Publish your shop is now a step in your setup list, before Share your shop.
    • If your plan lapses, your site shows the same back-soon page instead of an error. Pay again and it comes back.
    • A refund you make from your Stripe dashboard now shows on the order here too, so nothing reads as paid after the money went back.
    • Your shop now switches between editing and a full-width preview with one toggle at the top of the page.
  94. New

    A tax category on every product

    Each product now says what it is for tax: meat and meat products, prepared food, or general goods. Automatic tax uses it to charge the right rate, since many states tax groceries and hot food differently. Existing products start as meat; change the ones that are not from the product editor.

  95. Improved

    One page to run your shop's website

    Your shop details and how your site looks now live on one page, Your shop, with a live preview of your real site beside it. Fill it in and the site builds itself.

    • Two layouts. Profile puts a cover photo and your hours beside your products. Banner leads with your name and one photo.
    • Six colors, all of them readable. Your pick sets your buttons, links, and order emails.
    • An open-now line at the top of your page, worked out from your hours.
    • A notice line under your menu for holiday hours or a closure.

    Your About and Contact pages are part of your home page now, so there is less to fill in and nothing to leave empty. Old links still work.

    Themes, fonts, page backgrounds, the announcement bar, and the homepage section editor are gone. We picked the settings that looked best and made them the default.

  96. Improved

    Faster weekly hours

    Set the counter hours for one day, then copy them to every day of the week.

  97. Improved

    Three clearer shop themes

    Choose from Butcher Paper, Heritage Counter, or Modern Cut when styling your shop.

    The shorter list makes it easier to pick a look and start adding your brand.

  98. Fixed

    Dashboard copy for meat shops

    Customize, Posts, Marketing, and the Guide now use meat-shop examples and product language throughout.

    We also fixed several incomplete placeholders left over from the original shop template.

  99. New

    Meat Tracker is live

    Meat Tracker gives a meat shop a real website and online ordering, built the way a counter actually works.

    • A themed website on your own domain, with your hours, address, and phone up front.
    • Products priced by the pound, with the typical package weight shown, charged at a fixed price.
    • Checkout where the customer books a pickup window at your counter, or local delivery inside a service area you set.
    • A posts feed for specials and shop news, and one button to send any post to your subscribers as a newsletter.
    • 0% of your sales taken by Meat Tracker: the monthly plan is the whole price.
