Our latest release comes with even more time saving, admin busting features. The biggest change to our scheduling system is the addition of receipts. This means that you can now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Manually create a pdf receipt and download it or email it to your client<\/li><li>Have the system automatically email receipts to your clients the day after their booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The receipts file type is .PDF and it can (but does not have to!) include your business name, business address, registered tax number, tax rate and more.

As of this release, the subject line for the booking confirmation which gets sent to the admin, now indicates if the booking was made via the dashboard. See the below screenshot for two bookings, one of which was made by the client, the other by the business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/bookinghawk.com\/online-booking-system\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dashboard-bookings-1024x244.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookinghawk.com\/online-booking-system\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dashboard-bookings-1024x244.png 1024w, https:\/\/bookinghawk.com\/online-booking-system\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dashboard-bookings-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/bookinghawk.com\/online-booking-system\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dashboard-bookings-768x183.png 768w, https:\/\/bookinghawk.com\/online-booking-system\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dashboard-bookings-600x143.png 600w, https:\/\/bookinghawk.com\/online-booking-system\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dashboard-bookings.png 1219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Clearly differentiate between bookings made by the client and via the dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Booking In Progress Pop-up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have noticed an increase in the number of clients clicking &#8216;book&#8217; and then aborting their booking.
