2026

  1. addedShopify app

    The all-new Sesami app for Shopify

    A ground-up rebuild on Shopify’s current APIs and SDKs. The daily work now lives in the Shopify admin: a dashboard with bookings and sales side by side, upcoming bookings you can act on without leaving the page, a calendar with day, week and list views, and service creation that deep-links into the native product editor.

    Deeper configuration moved to the Admin Portal, reachable from the app with one click. Resources, buffer times, group bookings, Google Calendar sync, Flows, users and API tokens all live there.

    The Sesami Help Portal is live at help.sesami.co, with updated documentation, step-by-step guides and a faster way to find answers. It has AI assistance connected to the relevant MCP servers, and support is reachable from the same place.

    More flexible round-up interval options for services, giving you finer control over how times are shown to customers.

    An all-locations view in the calendar, higher resource selection limits, better cache management, and subscription expiry handling.

  9. improvedStorefront

    Booking button loading state

    The Sesami button shows a loading indicator while it waits for configuration, so the storefront no longer flashes.

  10. improvedBooking

    Cart verification

    The booking experience verifies cart items against real-time availability before checkout, which means fewer failed bookings.

  11. addedStorefront

    New storefront service

    Update your shop settings, services, locations or resources and the storefront cache clears itself, so customers always see current availability.

  13. improvedBooking

    Added Dutch (nl-NL). Better locale fallback, so an unsupported locale falls back to the shop default rather than breaking.

  14. improvedStorefront

    Storefront performance

  7. addedStorefront

    Add to cart and skip cart events

    POS multi-resource and multi-location

    The Shopify POS integration fully supports multi-resource and multi-location setups, matching online booking.

  20. addedBooking

2023

  1. improvedBooking

    Automatic language detection

    Sesami now follows the language a customer picks on your storefront, with no code changes. Previously it rendered in whatever language was set in Sesami settings, and supporting a multi-language store meant asking our team for help.
