Plus, overnight bookings are now integrated as a standard feature, eliminating the need for toggles and streamlining your setup.
2. Amp Up Your Booking Options with Extras
The new Extras feature is here to help you create effortless upsell opportunities for your business. Offer add-ons like:
- A bourbon beard oil treamtent

Fully customizable in your booking settings, Extras let you personalize services and increase revenue by making additional options available to your customers during the booking process.
With this feature, you can:

3. Enhanced Booking Page and Interface
We’ve given your booking page a sleek redesign, focusing on simplicity and elegance. This new look ensures an intuitive and delightful experience for your clients, making every interaction seamless and enjoyable.
4. Customizable Booking Option Order
Take control of how your services are presented. With just a few clicks in the settings, you can organize your booking options in the order that works best for your business, ensuring an effortless selection process for your customers.
5. Calendar Upgrades
Stay organized with our enhanced calendar view. Switch effortlessly between day, week, month, and list views to get a consolidated view of all your resources and schedules.
6. Admin-Only Resources
Need to keep certain resources private? The new Admin-Only setting lets you manage internal resources without making them visible on your public booking page.
7. Resource-Specific Booking Periods
Adapt to unique or seasonal offerings by setting specific booking periods for individual resources. This added flexibility ensures your resources are always tailored to your business needs.
8. Global Search Functionality
Quickly find what you need with the new global search tool. Use the magnifier icon to search across the platform for customers, bookings, and orders, saving you time and effort.
9. Reminders to Reduce No-Shows
Keep your schedule tight with automated reminders. Customers will receive a friendly nudge 24 hours before their booking, reducing no-shows and helping your business run smoothly.
10. Simplified Setup
We’ve made setup easier than ever! Booking options have been relocated to resource settings for a more intuitive experience, and the old resource wizard has been replaced with a streamlined, single-screen process.
