At ToastiBar, our focus for 2026 is to make the app smarter, easier to configure, and more effective for merchants of all sizes – while keeping storefront performance fast and usage fair.
This roadmap outlines the key improvements and features planned for 2026, how they work, and how they fit into ToastiBar’s overall direction.
Note: All features will be released gradually in phases. Timelines and availability may evolve based on testing, feedback, and performance validation.
Phase 1: AI-Powered Setup & Optimization
AI Setup Wizard
The AI Setup Wizard helps merchants configure ToastiBar correctly based on real store data instead of trial and error.
It uses real store data such as:
- Store language
- Recent order history
- Products and inventory
- Visitor behavior samples
- Selected business goal (sales, urgency, or trust)
What it helps with
- Recommending which notification types to enable or disable
- Suggesting frequency, delay, and placement
- Identifying products to include or exclude
- Providing language-specific notification copy
Why this matters
- Faster onboarding
- Fewer setup mistakes
- Better results with minimal effort
This feature is planned as part of ToastiBar’s advanced automation capabilities.
AI Copy Generator
The AI Copy Generator helps merchants create policy-safe notification text using real store and product data.
It can assist with copy for:
- Sales and cart notifications
- Product review notifications
- Visitor notifications (Online, recent, and product-specific)
- Summary notifications (Order and cart)
- Low-inventory messages
- Countdown urgency text
- Cart reminder micro-copy
It supports multiple languages and is designed to avoid misleading or fake claims.
AI Performance Advisor
The AI Performance Advisor runs in the background and periodically reviews notification performance to highlight potential improvements.
Example insights
- Low click-through rate detection
- Over-frequency warnings
- Suggestions for better timing or placement
This helps merchants optimize their setup without needing to manually analyze analytics data.
Phase 2: Advanced Notification Capabilities
Roundup Notifications
Roundup Notifications combine multiple similar events into a single, cleaner notification to reduce visual noise.
Example
“3 people purchased this product in the last 6 hours”
Advanced configuration options allow more control over grouping logic and time windows.
Inline Notifications (Product Page)
Inline Notifications display social proof or urgency information directly on the product page, such as near the Add to Cart button, instead of using floating popups.
This improves visibility while keeping the shopping experience smooth and non-intrusive.
Promotional Popups
Promotional Popups allow merchants to highlight offers such as:
- Buy 2 Get 1 Free
- Percentage-based discounts
- Store-wide promotions
They are designed to be flexible, performance-friendly, and configurable.
Abandoned Cart Popup
Abandoned Cart Popups help recover potential lost sales by reminding visitors about items left in their cart.
Messages can be customized using real cart and product data to keep reminders relevant and helpful.
Phase 3: Countdown & Localization Enhancements
Countdown Timer Analytics
Countdown Timer Analytics provides deeper insight into how timers perform, including:
- Impressions
- Clicks
- Desktop vs mobile breakdown
These insights help merchants understand which urgency elements are most effective.
Multi-Language Countdown Timers
Multi-language support allows countdown timers to be displayed in different languages based on visitor context.
Merchants can create language-specific templates, with more advanced automation planned for stores operating in multiple regions.
Phase 4: Insights, Analytics & Dashboards
Unified ToastiBar Dashboards
Unified dashboards bring together performance data across:
- Sales and cart notifications
- Product reviews notifications
- Visitor notifications
- Summary notifications
- Countdown timers
Dashboards are designed to scale with store needs, offering:
- Clear usage visibility
- Engagement insights
- Optimization signals for growing stores
Our Commitment
- ToastiBar will continue to support a Free plan for small and new stores
- Existing setups will not break due to roadmap changes
- Features will be released gradually with performance and policy checks
- Clear communication will be shared before major updates
