Scheduling is easier when your booking tools are clear for both your team and your customers. These updates help reduce mistakes, make appointments easier to manage, and create a smoother booking experience from start to finish.

📌 Why This Matters

When booking feels confusing, customers are more likely to leave before finishing or choose the wrong option. Clearer appointment details, smarter defaults, and a cleaner booking page help you save time, cut down on back-and-forth, and make it easier for people to book with confidence.

✨ What’s New

• Smarter phone number handling: The country code can be selected automatically based on your business location, which helps reduce input errors.
• Default staff selection: When creating a booking, the logged-in user can be selected automatically as the staff member when relevant.
• Service availability alerts: If a service is no longer available, a clear warning appears before saving so you can catch issues early.
• Better appointment titles: You can build titles using details like the customer, service, or location, making your calendar easier to read.
• Global appointment title setting: Set a default title format once so bookings stay consistent across your calendar and notifications.
• Cleaner booking page: Category and location filters stay hidden when there is only one option, which keeps the page simpler for customers.
• Smarter location display: Location details appear only when they are actually needed, reducing clutter during booking.
• Clearer mobile payment details: If you collect an upfront payment or deposit, the amount is shown more clearly on mobile devices.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Step 1: Review your service settings and set a default appointment title format that includes the details your team needs most, such as customer name, service, or location.
2. Step 2: Test your booking page on both desktop and mobile to make sure filters, location details, and payment information appear clearly for customers.
3. Step 3: Create a sample booking to confirm the right staff member is selected and unavailable services are flagged before saving.

💡 Pro Tip

A cleaner booking experience can lead to more completed appointments and fewer admin headaches, which means more time serving customers and more revenue from bookings that actually go through.
