Text & Background Color: Customize text and background colors to match your theme

Navigate to the ‘Meeting Details‘ section.
Under the calendar description, you will find the rich text editor options.

Calendar Widget Reorder
Users can now reorder their booking widget steps, providing them with greater flexibility to configure their booking flow. This feature is designed for businesses that want to collect lead information regardless of whether an appointment is booked.
The Calendar Widget has three steps: the Date & Time Selector, the Form, and Payments (if enabled). Users can choose whether they want the Date & Time Selector or the Form to appear first, with the Payment step always coming last.
Note: This feature is available only for the NEO Widget.
How to Use?
To configure the Widget Order:
Navigate to Calendar Settings and select your calendar.
Proceed to Forms & Payments.
Drag and reorder the Date & Time Selector and Form components to arrange them in your preferred sequence.
Click Save to apply your changes.
Time Zone Abbreviations for Appointments
We have introduced time zone abbreviations for appointment start and end times. There are two time zone settings: the user’s time zone and the business’s time zone. This enhancement eliminates ambiguity about which time zone an appointment time refers to. For example, if a business operates in CST but a user is in PST, you’ll now see clear indications like ’10:00 am to 10:30 am CST’ or ’08:00 am to 08:30 am PST’ next to the appointment time. How to Use?
You can see the time zone abbreviations in the following sections:

Shipping & Delivery Rates Based On Product Weights
Store owners can now easily implement differential shipping and delivery charges for various weight ranges under Payment > Settings > Shipping & Delivery > Add Zones > Add Rate.
In addition to conditional pricing based on order amount, users can set up conditional pricing based on the product weight for the specific zones.
Notes:
Create differential pricing for multiple product weights in a zone
While defining rates, delivery rates can be defined for specific zones according to the Product weight in the cart. For eg- Free Shipping, if the order weight is in 0-10 kg range or else, charge $10 if it’s below 10kg.
Product Weights, Dimension & SKU fields for Products
Store owners can add more information for their products: Weight, Dimensions, and SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). We have added a new page for variants/ prices, where users can define product weights, dimensions & SKU details, including the ability of tracking inventory for the specific variants.
How to use:
To add these details, store owners can access it from: Payments > Products > Create Product > Add Pricing/ Variants > Pricing/ Variant page.
Initially, users must create a price or variant to access the respective page via the hyperlink in Product name.
A “New” tag will appear for newly added unsaved prices, and the price/ variant page will be available only after saving the changes.
In addition to tracking inventory, users can add product weights, dimensions, and SKUs within the variants or pricing page.

Forms
Single Line Forms and Field Width
We’ve introduced single forms and new layout options in our form builder to give you greater flexibility and control over your form designs.
Single Column Layout: This is the classic layout, where all fields are arranged vertically, one below the other.
Two Column Layout: Previously known as inline forms, this layout allows you to place fields side-by-side in two columns, providing a balanced and compact form structure.
Single Line Layout: Add up to 5 fields in a single horizontal line for a streamlined, minimalist form design.
Field Width: The new Field Width in Percentage feature allows you to set the width of form fields as a percentage of the available form width.
How to Use:
Open the form builder under Sites>Forms
Choose your preferred layout: Single Column, Two Column, or Single Line.
Customize your form with the new Field Width setting to control the size of each field.
Invoicing
Quickbooks For Non-US Companies
With this release, we are reenabling the ability to sync invoices for non-US countries by syncing taxes between QBO and FGF. Previously, we were not syncing taxes between Quickbooks and Invoices (We would directly save the net amount inclusive of taxes and discount). While this worked well for US countries, Quickbooks required non-US countries to have relevant taxes attached to each item for invoice. This would break the invoice sync functionality between for non-US countries.
Further, we have added a field called “Tax Agency” in tax. This gets synced to QBO so all the taxes collected by a single tax agency (Eg IRS) can be consolidated and viewed inside QBO.
How to Use?
Go to Payments > Settings > Taxes.
Create required taxes applicable on the products you sell (Make sure you add Tax Agency to take full benefits of feature)
Create Invoice and attack applicable taxes to each item
