Starting today, once you install Sesami for the first time, you get a 30-day trial on the highest plan with no payment, credit card, or selecting any plan required. Also, we made it easier for you to book your free onboarding call both by incorporating the Book button in the welcome email and the dashboard.
Enjoy your free, yet fully loaded Sesami trial experience!
It was kind of possible, but needed dev work
Until now, Sesami was being served in any language the merchant set on the Sesami settings. Even if we add multiple languages to the store, we need to have our dev support team make sure Sesami renders not only on the original locale but also when customers switch between languages on the storefront.
Auto-detection
With the new release, Sesami will adapt automatically to the chosen language on the storefront without any code changes. As long as you use Shopify's locales for switching between languages in your storefront.

{_locale}
Processing Locale as a line item property: We now add a hidden _locale prop to line item props.

Timezone Fixation on the Storefront
Some businesses require fixating the timezone when loading a service calendar on the storefront. An example is an airport lounge booking when you book before you travel and possibly in a different timezone. When you want to book an airport lounge, you need the time based on the destination timezone,using not where you are. For this, you can pass on the timezone.
To achieve this, We can optionally pass a timezone prop to our calendar tag.
Sample code (in custom liquid block):
`<div>
<sesami-button shop-id="{{shop.id}}" product-id="{{product.id}}" button-label="Select timess"
timezone="Europe/Berlin" locale="{{shop.locale}}" button-customized-settings="%7B%22auto_add_to_cart%22%3Atrue%2C%22skip_cart%22%3Atrue%2C%22button-label%22%3A%22Select timess%22%2C%22alignment%22%3A%22flex-end%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22%23922424%22%2C%22color_background%22%3A%22linear-gradient%28310deg%2C rgba%2817%2C 189%2C 251%2C 1%29 15%25%2C rgba%2833%2C 249%2C 150%2C 1%29 85%25%29%22%2C%22font_size%22%3A16%2C%22border_width%22%3A1%2C%22border_radius%22%3A19%2C%22border_color%22%3A%22rgba%280%2C0%2C0%2C0%29%22%2C%22width%22%3A%22250px%22%2C%22height%22%3A%2245px%22%2C%22experience%22%3A%22classic%22%7D" auto-add-to-cart="" skip-cart="" style="align-items: flex-end;">

A new version is released. Here is a summary of changes:
Supporting the Dawn Theme OOTB
image
We now support the Dawn theme - the new Shopify standard - out of the box.
-
User Friendly Messaging
image
For customer cancellation and rescheduling pages, we used to expire right after the allowed time for making changes was passed. The customer was seeing an Error message that the link is expired. Now we show them a more informative message up until the appointment start time.
Better, huh?
-
+ Some minor UI improvements.
Hello there Merchants!
We have some quick updates for this Monday morning.
FIXED - Time slot unavailable situation.
Some customers were receiving the error,
“Someone else has already booked this time, please select another time”
and could not choose an appropriate time slot. The error was happening when the selected timeslot, when converted to UTC, spanned over multiple days.
FIXED - Google Chrome issue
. Google published a recent update that was resulting in Sesami not loading correctly. We patched the app and confirmed that everything is back to normal. Reference: https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5148698084376576
IMPROVED - Reservation period enabled by default.
The reservation period is now enabled by default for all new accounts (with a time of 10 minutes). You can find this under
Settings > Reservation Period
2021-08-16_11-24-04
IMPROVED - Reservation period notification.
On the storefront, a small note will be displayed beside the confirm button when the reservation is enabled.

IMPROVED - Onboarding is now available to all paid plans.
To improve the customer journey for our merchants, we have enabled all paid packages to book an onboarding session with one of our team members in customer success. We highly recommend an onboarding to all merchants but especially to those new to the Shopify ecosystem.

Earlier today, there was an incident in our Cloud infrastructure that caused our app to be unavailable for almost 50 minutes. This happened from
2:20am EDT
and our Head of Technology, Ramtin, was able to identify and fix the issue by
3:10am EDT
. Whew! 😰
We apologize for all those merchants that were affected (especially our friends from across the globe in Asia and Australia).

Recently, we had been getting a few reports that the google calendar sync functionality from Google Cal to Sesami was alarmingly slow to update.
As many of our merchants rely on the google calendar sync to keep their team member calendars up to date, we did some plumbing underneath the hood and were able to identify and patch up the leak.
Google Cal to Sesami is now back to
near-instantaneous synchronization
! Thanks to all the merchants who were able to help us identify and track the issue down.
