Appointedd's Square integration allows you to take payments from your customers for bookings via Square.

Now, you can take these payments in more currencies:

• USD 🇺🇸
• CAD 🇨🇦
• AUD 🇦🇺
• JPY 🇯🇵

Emails sent when a booking is made or modified include an .ics calendar event which the recipient can add to their online calendar e.g. Apple, Google, Exchange etc.

Now, this event will be added to the recipient's online calendar immediately!

This ensures that all parties have a record of the booking, reducing no shows and helping you to manage your time better.

This enhancement applies to emails sent to the customer and to the resource (where the resource's calendar isn't already synched with Appointedd).

The email sent to the customer to confirm that their booking has been modified will now include a link through which they can cancel their booking (only if you have this setting turned on in your online booking settings).

When an Appointedd booking is modified, you have the option to send the customer an email to notify them that their booking has been modified.

Now, that email includes an .ics calendar file which will automatically update the original calendar file e.g. move it to the new date and/or time, update the location, change the service name.

So there's no manual calendar management required by the customer - it's all done for them!

To make sure that you're sending your customer an email when a booking is modified, switch on that setting here.

When a booking is modified in Appointedd, an email is sent to the customer to notify them. Now, an .ics calendar event file is included in that email (similar to the calendar file included in the email sent to the customer to confirm that the booking has been made).

Tiers and price points allow you to offer your customers different options when booking into the same service.

This works perfectly for group bookings where you offer add-ons, upgrades, and varying prices, where all customers join the same booking.

For example, with this functionality, you can manage a tour with:

1. Multiple tiers e.g. a standard tour or an upgraded tour
2. Different price points per tier e.g. a concession price, a members price, a family price etc.

From your customer-facing booking tools, your customers will select the tier and the price point(s) which are relevant for them:

The customer's selections will be displayed for you on the booking in your calendar.

Appointedd supports your business in managing both individual and multiple-occupancy bookings, to ensure that you have all bookings stored in the same place.

Group bookings allow you to add multiple customers to one booking e.g. for an event, a tour, a workshop etc. Now, you can have different prices per customer in the same booking.

When you open the customers tab on a group booking, you’ll now see the price next to each customer’s name.

For example, you could use this functionality to:

• Offer a discount to one customer on a workshop without the discount applying to all customers on the workshop.
• Change the price of a tour. Customers who booked before you changed the price will pay the original price whereas customers who book after you change the price will pay the new price.

When you make a booking away from your daily or weekly view, to ensure that you can immediately review the details, make additional notes, change the customer's arrival status and more, the booking window now pops up immediately:

This means you can do what you need to then move on quickly. Giving you more time to get on with business!

Previously, you could set the location of a service and this would be communicated to the customer in the calendar file sent in their email confirmation.

Now, this location is also sent in the body of the email to further ensure that your customer is aware of the location of their booking.

So your email confirmation will start:

​This ensures that all relevant information is included your email confirmation, ensuring that the customer has everything they need.

Additionally, you can now amend the location for a particular booking. e.g. if a booking is made for a service with the location Glasgow but you need to change the location for that particular booking, you can do so! Just click on the booking in your calendar and click the pencil icon next to the location:

When you amend the location, you'll be given the option to send the customer an email, notifying them of this change.
