What's new
What changed, and when
Every change an owner, their team or their guests can see or use, dated, newest first.
September 2026
- ImprovedEveryone
One price list for every trade
Website, Business, Pro and Tools now mean the same for restaurants, hotels and every other business. Online payments, such as deposits and orders for collection, come with Business. The comparison below the plans shows one column per service.
- NewRestaurants
Diners pick a date on a calendar
Your website’s booking form now opens a calendar with closed days struck through. Once a day is chosen, it shows that day’s own times as buttons, grouped by your services, such as lunch and dinner.
- NewHotels
Guests choose their nights on a calendar
The booking form and the date bar open a calendar showing which nights are free and the lowest price per night. Full nights are struck through, and only departures that work can be picked. It works on phones and by keyboard.
- ImprovedHotels
The guest’s page speaks their language
Every message on a guest’s own booking page, including the answer after booking and the page for a link that no longer works, now appears in the guest’s language: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese.
- FixedHotels
Clearer confirmations and bills
Confirming a stay with one tap from the email now starts the guest’s bill, and dates appear in the guest’s language. On a free preview no card deposit is asked for, and the guest’s page says so.
- FixedEveryoneRestaurants
Published changes show at once
When you publish, your website shows the change straight away. “Book a table” buttons now lead to the booking form, and booking forms no longer offer dates in the past.
- ImprovedHotels
Booking where visitors look for it
Switching on bookings now adds a date bar under the top picture of your website and a “Book” link to every menu, in your site’s language, so visitors find it without scrolling.
- NewHotels
Online check-in, QR-bill and TWINT
Guests can fill in the Meldeschein online before arriving. The tourist tax follows your age bands, invoices carry a Swiss QR-bill, online payments accept TWINT as well as cards, and the month’s bookkeeping comes out as a CSV by VAT rate.
- NewHotels
Run your hotel from the console
Today shows arrivals, departures, requests and housekeeping. Stays, Rooms, Rates, Guests and Policies hold the rest: a room chart, prices by day, extras, the bill with VAT, invoices, and the month’s figures for HESTA as a CSV.
- NewHotels
Room bookings on your own website
Guests request their dates on your website and the room is held for them. You confirm with one tap from the email, or switch on confirming at once when a room is free. A hotel API offers the same to your developer.
- NewHotels
Booking.com and Airbnb calendars by iCal
Nights booked on Booking.com or Airbnb close the same rooms on your website, and each room offers its own calendar back. It is availability only: prices and guest details are not sent.
- ImprovedRestaurantsHotels
kwipps.com: a section for each trade
The restaurant and hotel pages now each have their own bar: overview, tools, designs, pricing, API and questions. Each shows the designs that suit the trade, with a gallery of all of them.
- NewEveryone
Reset a forgotten password yourself
“Forgotten your password?” on the console and my.kwipps.com sends a six-digit code by email. Enter it, choose a new password, and you are signed in; every other session is signed out.
- ImprovedEveryone
Contact forms in your page’s language
The contact form on your website, its labels and its thank-you line now follow the language of the page, in six languages, instead of always being in English.
- ImprovedEveryone
Dark-mode emails, and your current website on the form
Our emails now read clearly in dark mode. When you ask for a free demo, you can add your current website: we use its facts and wording, or treat it only as inspiration if you say so.
- NewRestaurants
Confirm at once, if you choose
A new option, off by default: a booking request is confirmed straight away when a free table can seat the party. Everything else stays a request for you to answer, and you are emailed either way.
- NewRestaurants
Follow-up emails and booking links on social media
If you switch it on, guests get an email after their visit inviting them to write about it on Google, with a one-click opt-out. Settings shows how to put your booking link on Facebook and Instagram, and Visitors adds a bookings report.
- NewRestaurants
Webhooks and staff actions in the restaurant API
Developers can now use secret keys for staff actions, and receive signed webhooks when bookings and orders change, sent again if delivery fails. The API works on a paid plan.
- NewRestaurants
A restaurant API and a booking widget
Your developer can read your venue, availability, menu and events, and send booking requests, with keys from Settings › Developers. A ready-made booking widget and full documentation are on kwipps.com. It works on a paid plan.
- NewRestaurants
Tools: the restaurant tools without a new website
Keep your own website and use Kwipps for bookings and the rest. Tools gives you a booking page of your own to link from your site and your Google Business Profile, with the steps to add it there.
- NewEveryone
Websites that ask before they count
Your website now loads nothing from other companies, asks visitors for consent in their language, and counts visits only after a yes. You see the figures in the console under Visitors.
- NewEveryone
Create email addresses on your own domain
In my.kwipps.com › Email you can add and remove addresses on your business’s domain, up to your plan’s allowance. Whoever gets the address sets its password; it never passes through us.
- NewEveryone
Your account and your console, each with one job
my.kwipps.com holds what you have: websites with a live preview, plan and billing, domains. You can choose a plan and buy a web address there. console.kwipps.com runs the business, and one login switches between your businesses.
- NewRestaurants
kwipps.com/restaurants explains the restaurant tools
A new page shows what the restaurant tools do, with screens drawn from the product itself, in four languages. It describes only what is built.
- ImprovedEveryone
A calmer console and a setup guide
The console has a new look with a side rail. The setup guide walks you through four steps with a live preview beside the form, saves as you go, and takes your logo and, for a restaurant, your room and menu.
- NewRestaurants
Orders for collection, paid online
Diners can order from your current menu on your website, pay online and collect at the counter. Prices always come from your menu, a dish off tonight is refused, and every message reaches the diner in the page’s language.
- ImprovedRestaurantsEveryone
Look up a wine, add menu photos, answer questions
The wine editor finds a wine by name and copies its label. Each dish has a Photo button to pick a picture or paste an address. Your website can also carry a questions-and-answers section.
- NewRestaurants
Waiting list, joined tables, deposits and staff logins
The restaurant console gained a waiting list, moving a booking, parties across joined tables, card deposits for large tables on a paid plan, merging and exporting guests, logins for managers, and taking a dish off for tonight.
- NewEveryone
Tools for salons, shops and professional practices
Beyond restaurants, the console now serves more trades: appointments with services, staff and reminders; products and an open-now notice for shops; a team page, documents and dated pages for professional practices.
- NewEveryone
Read your enquiries; publish when you are ready
Messages sent through your website’s forms now arrive in an inbox in your account, with spam held apart. Your changes stay drafts until you press Publish, so nothing goes public before you have looked.
- NewEveryone
Legal pages and link previews on every website
Every website now has a privacy policy and an imprint in its own language, under its country’s law. Each page also carries a description, title and picture that search engines and chat apps show when it is shared.
- NewEveryone
Contact details, a map and a contact form
Ask the editor for a contact strip (phone, WhatsApp, email and your social pages), a map of your address, or a contact form, and it builds them from your own business details, in your design’s style.
- NewRestaurants
Floor plan, tonight’s service and a guest book
Restaurants can draw their floor plan, run the evening from a live service view, keep a guest book, and join tables for larger parties.
- ImprovedEveryone
A hand-picked set of designs, built as chosen
The gallery now offers a smaller, hand-picked set of designs, each built as a page of its own. When you ask for a demo in one of them, your website is built from that design.
August 2026
- ImprovedEveryone
Improve your demo by chatting
Instead of a fixed form, the demo editor now asks up to three short questions about your business, one at a time, then makes the change to your demo in one go.
- ImprovedEveryone
Designs suggested for your kind of business
The gallery and the request form ask what kind of business you run, in the same words. Suggestions now favour designs that can hold what you sell, such as a full menu for a pizzeria.
- ImprovedEveryone
Sign in with your email address
my.kwipps.com now accepts your email address as well as your account code. Our emails to you, from the first reply to going live, now carry the Kwipps look instead of plain text.
- NewEveryone
Choose how your website looks
kwipps.com/templates lets you browse designs and pick a look. A chosen style now changes the typefaces, the paper colour and the header of your page, not just the accent colour.
- NewEveryone
Your account at my.kwipps.com
Sign in from the link on kwipps.com to see your websites, billing, domains and account. Edits you ask for now go live in seconds instead of minutes.
- ImprovedEveryone
Turn any text into a link
Ask the editor to make your logo go back to the home page, or any other text become a link. The text keeps its look, without an underline or a colour change.
July 2026
- FixedEveryone
Contact forms deliver every message to you
Messages sent through your website’s contact form are now stored and emailed to you. Spam is filtered without a puzzle for your visitors, and the sender sees a thank-you page.
- NewEveryone
More pages, your own photos, photos behind text
Your site can have more than one page, built in the same design. Upload your own photographs, add a photo where the design had none, or set one behind a section’s text.
- NewEveryone
Add, move and remove sections by asking
The editor can now change a page’s structure: add a section such as opening hours or a price list, move it, or remove it. It also fixes links and swaps photos, and your site refreshes after each edit.
- NewEveryone
Change your own website by asking
After going live, you can change your texts, opening hours, prices and photos by writing what you want. Every change is kept in a history, so any of them can be undone.
- NewEveryone
A new kwipps.com
kwipps.com has a new editorial design that shows what we build and how to ask for a free demo website.
