Dev Logs & Roadmap

Every merchant on Yibe.life now has a public-facing microsite at app.yibe.life/business/{slug}. Pages are automatically styled based on business type — restaurants get a menu-first layout, spas and fitness studios get a services layout, and hotels get a rooms-and-amenities view.

• Business type auto-detection with smart layout assignment
• Hero image, description, and contact details pulled from merchant profile
• Menu categories and items for food & beverage businesses
• BookingGo services listed for appointment-based businesses
• Mobile-responsive with fast load times

Customers can now convert their Yibe.life loyalty points into wallet credits and spend them across any merchant on the platform. This closes the loop on the full loyalty cycle.

• Points-to-dollar conversion at a configurable rate (default: 100 pts = $1)
• Wallet balance visible in the customer app profile
• Optional minimum balance required before conversion
• Settlement tracking so merchants are compensated for wallet redemptions
• Admin monthly payout summary with mark-as-paid workflow

All merchant tiers now include access to the BookingGo appointment system — not just premium plans. Merchants can define services, assign staff, set business hours, and accept online bookings.

• Seamless SSO from the Yibe.life merchant dashboard
• Define unlimited services with duration, pricing, and category
• Staff availability and assignment per service
• Mon–Fri 9–5 default hours set on account creation (fully customisable)
• Customer-facing booking flow integrated into merchant microsites

New merchants now complete a guided 4-step setup wizard before accessing their dashboard. This ensures every account is properly configured from day one.

• Step 1: Business details — name, type, address
• Step 2: Plan selection and confirmation
• Step 3: TableTrack POS provisioning (restaurant/cafe/bar types only)
• Step 4: BookingGo account creation for all business types

The wizard gates access to the main dashboard until setup is complete, preventing partially-configured accounts.

Restaurant, cafe, and bar merchants can now access the full TableTrack POS system via a single sign-on button from the Yibe.life merchant dashboard. No separate login needed.

• One-click SSO with 90-second token expiry for security
• Automatic restaurant, branch, and menu provisioning on account creation
• Default roles assigned: Admin, Branch Head, Waiter, Chef, Manager, Cashier
• Package assignment ensures the full sidebar is visible from day one

The Yibe.life customer marketplace at app.yibe.life is live. Customers can discover local businesses, browse menus and services, place orders, and manage their loyalty wallet — all from one place.

• Category-first discovery (Food & Drink, Wellness, Fitness, Hotels, Services)
• Merchant cards with ratings, open/closed status, and featured images
• Full menu browsing and cart for restaurant/cafe merchants
• Service listing and booking flow for appointment-based businesses
• Loyalty wallet balance and transaction history

Merchants can now create and manage loyalty coupons from their dashboard. Coupons can be merchant-locked or platform-wide, with configurable expiry and point costs.

• Merchants create coupons via the Loyalty tab on the dashboard
• Coupons redeemable at the POS or via the customer app
• Earn rate configuration per merchant (points per $ spent)
• Pending points for unregistered customers — auto-claimed on signup

Tightened the signup and login flows to improve security and reliability across all user types (merchants, customers, platform admins).

• Email verification required before dashboard access
• Single-use verification tokens with 24-hour expiry
• Resend verification email from the login page
• Role-based post-login redirect: merchants → dashboard, customers → app.yibe.life, admins → wp-admin

Yibe.life is live in beta. The platform connects merchants and customers across Singapore with a unified suite of business tools.

The initial release includes the core merchant dashboard, subscription management via WooCommerce, a custom login and signup flow, and the foundation of the loyalty system.

• Custom merchant dashboard at yibe.life
• Basic and Premium subscription tiers
• Merchant and customer signup with role-based access
• MyCred loyalty point engine
• Cross-database architecture: WordPress + Laravel on one MySQL server
