Release Notes - June 2026

🎉 What's New from Kangaroo

It's been a big few months. Our team has spent the first four months of the year heads-down building something we're excited to start sharing: a brand new merchant portal — redesigned for speed, clarity, and more control over your loyalty program. More details coming soon. In the meantime, here's what just shipped:

🧾 Receipt Scanning (White Label)

Customers can now snap a photo of their receipt directly in your branded app to automatically earn points — no manual entry, no waiting on staff to scan a card.

Why it matters:

• Removes friction at checkout for in-store purchases without integrated POS reward triggers
• Reduces staff burden on manual point entry
• Captures purchase data you can use for richer customer insights

 📱 Progressive Web App (PWA) for White Label

Your branded loyalty app just got a major upgrade. With our new PWA, your customers can add your loyalty program directly to their phone's home screen — no app store download required, no install friction, and no app store approval delays for you.

Why it matters:

• Faster time-to-engagement: customers join in seconds, right from their browser
• Works for merchants who can't use traditional app stores (e.g. age-restricted or regulated categories)
• Lighter weight than a native app, but still feels app-like — home screen icon and offline access
• Push notifications are fully supported, so you can re-engage customers with reward alerts, point updates, and promotions just like a native app

🔧 Improvement: Paste Phone Numbers in the Merchant Web App

Small but mighty — you can now paste a customer's phone number directly into the merchant web app instead of typing it manually.
