August 2026 Release Notes

A summary of key updates and highlights from the August 2026 releases.

Written by Matt Ford

Release Notes: August 21


New Features

Messaging

  • New Endpoints for Evo Messaging Email Library

    Added a set of new endpoints so email templates can be created, edited, tested, and managed directly from Evo Messaging's Email Library, using a stable identifier that keeps templates in sync between Evo and PXS. Templates managed this way are clearly marked in the Email Builder, and editing actions for those templates are routed through Evo Messaging going forward. This lays the foundation for a more unified email template management experience.


Updates & Fixes

Loyalty

  • Wallet Manager: Same-Day Start and End Dates

    Wallet Manager now allows a wallet's start and end date to be set to the same date. Previously this configuration was not supported.

  • Required Field Note Added to Reverse Enroll Page

    Added a note below the submit button on the reverse enroll page explaining that an asterisk indicates a required field. This gives sighted users the same information previously available only via screen reader.

  • Fixed Ghost Accounts from Duplicate Phone Numbers

    Fixed an issue where accounts could be created without validating that a phone number was already in use on an existing account, resulting in duplicate "ghost" accounts. New accounts are now checked against existing phone numbers before creation.

Messaging

  • SMS Availability Tied to Organization Configuration

    SMS as an option in Journey Builder is now only shown to users whose organization has SMS enabled in PXS. This avoids confusion for Advanced Messaging users who don't have SMS configured.

  • CTL Email Option Hidden Until Configured

    The CTL Email option in Journey Builder is now hidden until the required backend configuration is enabled for that organization. This prevents users from selecting or sending CTL emails before their organization is properly set up.

  • Fixed Silent Google Wallet Campaign Send Failures

    Fixed an issue where Google Wallet campaign sends could fail without any indication when a messaging cluster lookup failed. These failures are now properly surfaced instead of being silently swallowed.

  • Fixed Missing Field in SMS Center

    Fixed an issue in SMS Center where the setting to use mobile phone as the identifier for registration had no field to configure it, causing the form to throw an error. The setting can now be configured correctly.

  • Fixed Split Test Campaign Launch Error

    Fixed an issue preventing Split Test campaigns from launching, which previously resulted in a generic system error. Split Test campaigns now launch as expected.

POS

  • Fixed Prepaid Fuel Discounts Not Applying

    Fixed an issue where discounts were not being applied to prepaid fuel transactions for Shell/Connexus locations, by making loyaltyRewardId handling more stateful on a per-transaction basis. Prepaid fuel purchases now correctly receive applicable rewards.

  • Fixed Toast Kiosk Gift Card PIN Issue

    Fixed an issue causing problems with gift card PIN handling on Toast Kiosk. Affected transactions now process correctly.

  • Duplicate Disabled Accounts No Longer Appear at the POS

    A bug has been resolved that allowed duplicate, disabled accounts to surface during guest lookups on Toast POS when a phone number was associated with multiple accounts. Lookups by phone number will now correctly return only the active account, removing the guesswork for staff at checkout. This ensures a more accurate and reliable point-of-sale experience for your team and your guests.

Release Notes: August 18


New Features

Online Ordering

  • Feature Dashboard on the App General Settings Page

    Merchants can now view and manage which features are enabled directly from the App General Settings page, without needing to visit a separate features page. Enabling or disabling Apple Pay or Google Pay from the dashboard now correctly updates payment acceptance across all of that merchant's locations.

  • Additive Lead Timing Settings Now Grouped and Hidden When Disabled

    On the Timing settings screens, Additive Lead Timing configuration is now grouped together and hidden entirely when the feature is turned off, so the page no longer shows settings that have no effect.

  • Faster Save for App Integrations

    The Integrations page's "Save All" action now saves changes across multiple locations in a single batch instead of one request per location, making saves significantly faster and more reliable for multi-location merchants.

  • Cross-Sell Auto Mode Now Working as Expected

    Merchants using automatic cross-sell recommendations will now correctly receive cross-sell suggestions during ordering. Turning cross-sell off also now saves reliably.


Updates & Fixes

Online Ordering

  • DoorDash Menu Pulls

    Fixed an issue where DoorDash menu pull requests were being rejected due to a header formatting mismatch.

  • Evo Workspace Sign-In

    Fixed an issue where signing in to Online Ordering from a fresh Access Evo workspace tab could fail to complete.

  • Evo Workspace Launch Error

    Fixed an issue where launching Online Ordering from the Access Evo workspace could occasionally land on a "Forbidden" page.

Release Notes: August 11


New Features

Online Ordering

  • Stripe Link checkout with PXPay

    Guests checking out through PXPay can now pay using Stripe Link's saved-card experience, in addition to the existing card checkout. Available to eligible PXPay merchants.

  • Gift card auto-apply toggle

    Merchants can now turn off automatic application of a guest's gift card balance at checkout, letting guests choose to apply it manually instead. Available via a new toggle in Loyalty Settings.

  • Updated locations page experience

    The legacy locations page now redirects guests to the modern locations and menu experience, matching the rest of the guest-facing site.

  • Account links added to admin sidebar

    Account-related links such as White Label, Integrations, and Profile are now also available in the left sidebar on the updated admin layout, in addition to the top navigation bar.

  • Access Evo integration improvements

    Several improvements to the Access Evo native-tab integration keep user access, roles, and sessions better in sync between Access and Online Ordering, for merchants using this integration.


Updates & Fixes

Online Ordering

  • Settings validation no longer gets stuck

    Fixed an issue where a settings validation task could appear to run indefinitely, blocking publishing.

  • Improved handling of certain POS orders

    Fixed an issue where some Micros Simphony orders were rejected and retried unnecessarily; affected orders now alert store staff to enter them manually.

  • More reliable menu translations

    Fixed an issue where menu text containing numbers with decimals could cause entire batches of AI-generated translations to be discarded.

  • Corrected reward-dollar redemption

    Fixed an issue where reward-dollar rewards from different loyalty wallets could incorrectly combine, potentially overstating the redeemable amount.

  • Fixed POS credential saving issue

    Fixed an issue where certain POS API credentials could become corrupted when saved.

  • New menu validation for option groups

    Added validation to catch menu items with required option groups that have no usable options, helping prevent order failures at the POS. Rolling out gradually.

Release Notes: August 7

    Resolved an issue where a UI pop-up on the Favorite Page displayed incorrectly.

  • Fixed Tab Logout / Login First-Attempt Failure (EVO)

    Resolved an issue where the first login attempt after logout would fail. Users are now logged in successfully on the first attempt.

  • Fixed Email Builder "From" Address Dropdown Clipping

    Resolved an issue where the "From" email address dropdown in the Email Builder was clipped by the surrounding accordion.

POS

  • Fixed Intermittent Rate-Limit Errors on Transaction Processing

    Resolved an issue causing intermittent rate-limit (429) errors on a merchant's transaction feed, which could interrupt transaction processing..

Release Notes: August 4


Updates & Fixes

Online Ordering

  • Holiday Hours Not Applied to Ordering Availability

    Fixed an issue where holiday hours set in Enterprise Settings were not applied to online ordering availability.

  • ASAP Order Availability Checks

    Item and category availability is now checked against when an ASAP order will actually be ready, preventing orders that include items unavailable at fulfilment time (rolling out per store).

  • DoorDash Alcohol and Tobacco Addendum Save Issue

    Fixed an issue on the DoorDash configuration page that prevented the alcohol and tobacco addendum from being saved.
