2023
- Self Check-in Kiosk — customers check themselves in on arrival, staff get an instant text, with configurable greeting/verification messages. (Setup under Maintenance → Kiosk Setup.)
- Clover Payments integration — added support for processing cards through Clover’s Mini device, built directly into the program.
- Automatic period closing — Close Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year can now all run automatically instead of manually (available on request).
- Family Checkout overhaul — abandoned mid-way transactions now void cleanly instead of leaving partial checkouts in a confusing state.
- Marketing tracking on Online Booking — added Google and Meta tracking support for salons running ad campaigns.
- Streamlined email tools — simplified the email screen, moving less-used features (text ads, scheduled blasts) behind an opt-in setting.
2022
A quieter year — mostly incremental fixes and inventory/reporting refinements. Nothing significant enough to call a highlight; safe to summarize as “ongoing refinement and stability work” or omit entirely from the highlights page.
2021
- Cell phone visibility upgrade — phone numbers now show directly on every relevant screen (Confirming, Details, Edit Info, Waiting List, Booking Styles) without extra clicks.
- Automatic credit card convenience fee — optional fee added automatically based on bill total when a card is used.
- Text message copy/paste tools — messages can now be copied directly to another program from the appointment book or a customer’s text history.
- COVID-era payroll compliance — W2 and 941 Worksheet updated to properly report FFCRA sick pay wages.
2020
- Text Message History — full save/display of outgoing texts per customer, the foundation of what’s now the two-way texting system.
- Online check-in — customers using Online Booking could check themselves in remotely and via confirmation email links — rolled out as salons navigated COVID-era reopening.
- Automatic per-sale service charge option — added support for an automatic “cleaning charge” line item, dollar or percentage-based.
2019
- Modernized confirmation reasons — labels updated to reflect current technology (e.g., “Confirmed with Answering Machine” → “Confirmed with Message”).
- Online Booking required-info options — salons can now require address and/or phone number to book online.
- Appointment book extended to 2 years out (from a shorter prior window).
- Time card error alerts — automatic morning email listing employees with time card issues from the previous day.
