# Changelog

> What's new in Riserva, newest first.

<Update label="October 12, 2026" tags={["iPad","Reservations","Checkout","Payments","Host","Experiences","Help","New","Improved","Fixed"]}>
  ### Change tables from the iPad

  A party's page on the register now has a Table section: keep, lock or change
  the party's table, and see which tables are free, taken or too small.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/pos)

  ### Add an add-on after booking

  Add a bottle or a cheese plate to a reservation whose balance is still on the
  guest's saved card. It joins the same Shopify order and is charged with the rest.
  [Learn more](/core-concepts/add-ons)

  ### A reservation's quantity is protected in the cart

  Guests can no longer change a reservation's quantity in the cart, so what they
  pay always matches their party.
  [Learn more](/guest-experience/what-guests-see)

  #### Improvements

  * **Payments:** "At the visit" add-ons wait on the saved card with the fee; if the register takes the fee, the card is charged for the add-ons alone.
  * **iPad:** Status colours on the register now match the admin.
  * **Host:** **Booked after its time** shows on Host and the register, not only on the reservation page.
  * **Host:** Pages, views and tabs respond the moment you click, with a loading bar while data arrives.
  * **Reservations:** **Undo no-show** is the main button on a no-show.
  * **Experiences:** An add-on whose product is set to ship wears a **Ships to the guest** badge.

  #### Fixes

  * **Reservations:** No-show and cancelled reservations no longer say the saved card will be charged.
  * **Help:** Help articles and Sidekick's answers only cover features your store has.
</Update>

<Update label="October 11, 2026" tags={["iPad","Checkout","Reservations","Experiences","New","Improved","Fixed"]}>
  ### The register's party page matches the admin

  **Check in** and **Partial check-in…** sit side by side, the page is in clear
  sections, and changing the party size moved under **More actions** so recording
  who came can't shrink a booking by mistake.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/pos)

  ### Past reservations can't be bought

  Shopify's checkout now stops a guest from paying for a reservation whose date
  has passed, and the booking window removes it from their cart.
  [Learn more](/guest-experience/what-guests-see)

  #### Improvements

  * **Reservations:** A reservation paid after its date is kept but marked **Booked after its time**, and waits in **Needs attention**.
  * **iPad:** A **Running over** badge with **Still here** replaces the "Ends by itself" note.
  * **Experiences:** Suggested tables, Members only, Hidden add-ons and Inactive venues use calm, neutral badges.
  * **Checkout:** Riserva asks once for permission to add its checkout rule.

  #### Fixes

  * **iPad:** The Book tile shows its message when it can't load.
  * **Reservations:** A whole-venue booking's party size change no longer shows a warning afterwards.
</Update>

<Update label="October 10, 2026" tags={["Host","Reports","Sidekick","Experiences","Storefront","Reservations","New","Improved","Fixed"]}>
  ### Partial check-in

  Check in only the guests who have arrived, then tap **All here** when the rest
  show up. Party size and payment stay as booked.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/host-view)

  ### Attendance in Reports

  See your show-up rate and how many guests arrived, came with a smaller party,
  didn't come or haven't arrived yet.
  [Learn more](/reports/what-each-report-answers)

  ### Ask Sidekick about Riserva

  Ask Shopify's Sidekick who's arriving, find a reservation, check balances,
  open times or your Reports numbers. Answers never include guest contact details.
  [Learn more](/integrations/sidekick)

  #### Improvements

  * **Host:** A party opens the same panel from the List, the Timeline and the Map.
  * **Host:** Status badges show progress with Shopify's open, partial and complete marks.
  * **Experiences:** A sold event's date, time and venue can't be moved out from under its ticket holders.
  * **Storefront:** Past events leave the storefront list and the register's booking cards.
  * **Storefront:** A cart holds one pay-later reservation at a time, with a clear way to finish or swap it.
  * **Reservations:** Riserva asks once for permission to edit orders, used by add-ons after booking.

  #### Fixes

  * **Host:** After an update, the first click in an open tab loads the page you clicked instead of an error.
  * **Host:** The early-arrival question no longer reopens by itself.
  * **Reports:** Average party size matches its chart.
</Update>

<Update label="October 7, 2026" tags={["Host","Reservations","Experiences","Storefront","iPad","Plans","Integrations","New","Improved","Fixed"]}>
  ### Undo a check-in, seat or no-show

  Tapped the wrong button? Walk it back one step from Host, the reservation page
  or the register.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/host-view)

  ### Automatic no-shows and end-of-day close-out

  Choose whether parties who never arrive become no-shows on their own, and
  whether visits close at the end of the day.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/waitlist-early-arrivals-and-ending-visits)

  ### Your experiences, in your order

  Drag experiences into the order you want on your storefront and the register,
  and tag them to show one location's or one collection's list.
  [Learn more](/core-concepts/experiences-and-events)

  #### Improvements

  * **Storefront:** Members-only experiences are listed for everyone, with a Join button for non-members.
  * **iPad:** Fewer buttons: one main action, the rest under **More actions**.
  * **Plans:** A Shopify Partner development store can use Riserva free.

  #### Fixes

  * **Integrations:** Shopify Flow workflows now run for reservations without an email address.
  * **Host:** A party arriving early for the day's first time is checked in where it is.
</Update>

<Update label="October 5, 2026" tags={["Host","Payments","Emails","Experiences","New","Improved","Fixed"]}>
  ### Timeline and Map views

  See the whole day across tables and rooms, or the floor at any moment, and drag
  a party to another table.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/host-view)

  ### Pay at the end of the visit

  A new charge timing, "At the visit": the guest's saved card is charged when the
  visit closes, unless the fee is paid at the register with their bottles first.
  [Learn more](/core-concepts/payment-policies)

  ### A printable Timeline

  Print the day's Timeline for the host stand and roaming staff.
  [Learn more](/daily-operations/host-view)

  #### Improvements

  * **Host:** Every floor-map reservation gets a table, marked Suggested, Assigned or Locked.
  * **Host:** Visits end by themselves after their time, with **Still here** for parties who linger.
  * **Host:** Checking in a party well ahead of its time offers to move the reservation to now.
  * **Emails:** A team alert for new online reservations, to up to five addresses.
  * **Emails:** Phone and register bookings get a confirmation email when an address is on file.
  * **Experiences:** An **Unlisted** visibility for private events.

  #### Fixes

  * **Payments:** A bill credit is used only when the sale completes, never by the tap.
