Calendars

Google Organic Booking: Enabled for Selected Few Locations

This feature is now live for locations that have either one service menu or one group created in calendars. With this integration, bookers can seamlessly schedule appointments directly from Google Search without any additional cost to the business.

Key Points to Note: 

• Google Organic Booking is enabled for accounts with only one service menu or one group. You can disable this feature at any time by navigating to Calendar Settings > Connections > Account Connections.
• Enabling Google Organic Booking is awesome as it enhances your online presence and attracts more bookings organically through Google Search.
• For locations with multiple service menus or groups, you will need to enable Google Organic Booking in Calendar Settings and select the specific service menu/group/calendars to upload.

How to Enable or Disable Google Organic Booking?

1. Navigate to Calendar Settings > Connections tab > Account Connection.
2. Toggle the Google Organic Booking option on or off according to your preference.
3. Any change made typically takes 24 to 48 hours to reflect on your Google Business Profile.

 

Availability for Service Calendars

This enhancement empowers users to configure availability for service calendars. Now, in addition to staff availability, the system will also consider calendar availability when determining free slots.

Previously, service calendars only checked the availability of assigned staff members when determining available slots, creating constraints for businesses. Now, users can configure weekly available hours and date-specific hours for their service calendars.

When calculating free slots, both the configured calendar availability and the staff member’s availability will be considered.

How to Use?

1. Navigate to calendar settings.
2. Select your service calendar or create a new one.
3. Access the availability settings.
4. Configure your weekly available hours and/or date-specific hours.
5. Click on save.

 

 

Payments

Payments Integration Updates

We’ve added new pages to the payment integration section.

• Introduced Default Provider Listing, along with Native Providers List.
• Implemented an All Providers Page, displaying all connected and disconnected providers.

 

Invoicing

Partial Payments For End Customers On Invoicing 

This feature introduces partial payments for end customers by allowing businesses to set minimum percentages for invoice payments, empowering them with greater flexibility and control over payment plans, ultimately enhancing client payment capture rates.

With this new feature, users can now set a minimum percentage of the total Invoice amount to be collected from the end customer. The customer can pay any amount that is equal to or greater than the percentage amount specified from the Invoicing Dashboard.

This feature is available for both one-time and recurring invoices.

Important Note:

For recurring invoices the partial payment as a feature is available for invoices that have auto payment disabled. In case of auto payment enabled and customer card it will have the option for partial payment for the first invoice but for the subsequent one’s it would autodraft the full amount.

How to Use? 

• Ensure that a payment gateway (Stripe / Authorize.net / NMI) is integrated.
• Go to Payments -> Invoices -> Invoices Settings.
• From this page menu click on Payment Settings and enable the Partial Payments Toggle
• Add a percentage in the input field (Percentage is calculated based on the total amount of the invoice amount to be paid).
• Click on “Save.”

 

Payment Element Change for Internal Invoice Payments

We now have a consistent UI across the entire invoicing system for capturing payments. Invoicing will use the native payment element instead of a custom one.

We have also added billing fields on invoice live links as well as internal record payment modals for capturing payments.
