What’s New

This update includes a range of improvements designed to make booking management, billing and day-to-day tasks quicker and easier.

Improvements in this release

  • Smoother rescheduling experience
    We’ve improved the rescheduling flow so you can reschedule all bookings at once, with the first booking automatically selected to reduce clicks.
  • Faster billing with barcode scanning
    When adding services or products to a bill, the cursor now automatically lands in the search box so you can scan a barcode straight away.
  • Updated no-show booking styling
    No-show bookings now have a refreshed look to make them easier to spot.
  • Updated booking warning screens
    We’ve refreshed the styling of the “making booking” warning screens for better visibility and clarity.

    Late bookings are now easier to identify with a clock icon.
  • New “Walk-In Client” button on the till screen
    You can now create walk-in bills more quickly using the new Walk-In Client button.
  • Improved navigation in client records
    Clicking Next Appointment in a client record will now automatically scroll you to that appointment in the client timeline.
  • Partial refunds are now more flexible
    You can now enter the exact value you’d like to refund to the client.
  • More payment options in Quick Pay
    You can now use any payment type in the Quick Pay screen.
  • Browser back button fix
    We’ve fixed an issue where using the browser Back button could lead to an endless loading screen.
  • Permanent client discounts
    You can now apply ongoing service and retail discounts directly into the client record.
  • Improved protection against pricing setup issues
    Team members marked as bookable can no longer be saved without a price level, helping prevent appointment book loading issues.
  • Longer password reset window
    Password reset links now remain valid for longer.

Appointment Editing - New Update Guide

We’ve introduced some changes to how appointments are managed to make scheduling faster and more intuitive. Here’s how everything will now work:

  • Opening an Appointment (Edit Options)
    • Double-click on an appointment to open the full options screen.
    • This is where you can edit details such as services, notes, client info, etc.

👉 Previously this was a single click — it now requires a double click.

     

  • Moving an Appointment

Single-click to select a booking and then click and drag it to:

    • A different time
    • A different team member

This makes rescheduling quicker without needing to open the appointment.

     

  • Adjusting Appointment Length
    • Press and hold the appointment for 1 second, then release.
    • You can now adjust the length of the appointment by resizing it.
