Last updated: October 8, 2026 Current Version: 3.2.0

Version 3.2.0 - October 8, 2026

⏰ Limit Booking Times per Service

• You can now choose when each service can be booked. Turn on Limit Booking Times when editing a service and pick an earliest and/or latest start time, e.g. full valets in the morning only and standard valets in the afternoon.
• Times are offered on the hour and half hour within your working hours, with a short summary underneath so you can see exactly what customers will be able to book.
• Services with a time limit show a small Starts … label on your services list, so it's easy to see which ones are restricted.
• The limit applies to the start time only — a booking that starts within the window can still run past it.

• Completing a card or SumUp booking now clearly shows it will charge the customer before you tap it, and bookings with a deposit paid show the deposit and the exact remaining balance due, so there are no surprises.
• Added Business Insights: Top Selling Services, Busiest Days, Weekly Revenue Trend and Top Customers, each with a plain-English explainer so you know exactly what it's telling you about your business. Cards unlock as your booking count grows.
