You may not of heard of these, but they pack a punch!

Not every update needs to be flashy to make a difference. Here's a breakdown of four small features you can start using today:

1 - Schedule Time Highlight

What's new?

Hover over a reservation or time slot in your Schedule, and the matching time in the column header now highlights automatically.

Why?

On a busy day with back-to-back bookings, it's easy to lose track of exactly which time you're looking at. This removes the guesswork.

Where?

Open your Schedule, switch to Day or Week view, and hover over any reservation or time slot.

2 - Barcode Scanning for Sales

What's new?

Staff can now use their mobile phone camera to scan product barcodes directly into an open sale.

Why?

Using your phone's camera makes it quicker to add products on the go, reducing the need to search by name and helping avoid selecting the wrong item.

Where?

Open or create a Sale, choose to add a Product, then tap the scan icon and point your camera at the barcode.

3 - Total Gift Card Balance

What's new?

A Customer's profile now shows a single, visible total of all valid Gift Card balances they currently hold.

Why?

No more opening each Gift Card individually and adding up the balances yourself—see the combined total at a glance.

Where? Go to Customers, open the customer's profile, and scroll to the Balances section.

4 - Active and Expired Promo Codes Views

What's new?

Promo Codes are now split into two dedicated views—Active and Expired—instead of one combined list.

Why?

As your list of promotions grows, it's harder to find the ones still usable. Now you can manage current codes without scrolling past old, inactive ones.

Where?

Go to Manage > Promo Codes and use the Active / Expired toggle at the top of the list.
