Small updates, big time savers. Have you tried these yet?

With Messages and BookApp stealing the spotlight lately, a few handy updates slipped out quietly. They're live in your Ovatu account now. Here's what's new and where to find each one.

1 - Clearer Add-on Discounts

What’s new? Setting up an add-on now has a clear Add discount to add-on button. Click it to set a discount for the add-on, or skip it to offer the add-on at full price.

Why? Before, offering an add-on at full price meant leaving the discount box blank, which wasn’t obvious. Now you can see at a glance whether an add-on is discounted. The discount only ever applies to the add-on, never the main service.

Where? Go to Manage, then Services, and edit the main service. Open the Add-ons tab, click Add add-on, then click Add discount to add-on if you want to discount it.

2 - Gift Card Management on Mobile

What's new? You can now manage gift cards from the Ovatu mobile app on iOS and Android, not just the web app. Gift cards are part of the Loaded plan.

Why? When a customer asks about their gift card at the front desk or mid-appointment, you can sort it out from your phone without heading back to the computer.

Where? Open the Ovatu mobile app and go to Manage, then Gift Cards.

3 - Payment Request Records in Sales

What's new? Every payment request you send now shows inside the sale it belongs to. You'll see the date and time it was sent, the amount, and its status, such as Requested.

Why? No more wondering whether a request went out or how much you asked for. Everything about the sale sits in one place, so following up on unpaid requests is quick.

Where? Go to Sales, open a sale and scroll to the Payment Requests section.

All three are live in Ovatu now. Give them a try this week. If you have any questions, our Customer Success team is a call, chat or email away.
