Captain’s Changelog: May 2018

Setmore in May: bigger, badder, faster, stronger, and… more compliant in European regulatory environments. Read below to get your monthly dose of deployment notes, then post a comment to let us know what you think.

Speed updates: injecting some high-octane code fuel into Setmore’s booking engine

Over the past two months we’ve deployed some much-needed efficiency updates to the Setmore mobile app and Booking Page. You should have noticed a palpable speed boost when it comes to loading appointments, on the order of 50% or faster load times. We’re still continuing to fine-tune the experience to ensure that your calendar has more zip than a fighter jet, so stay tuned for future deployment notes.

An update on the upcoming Square integration

Setmore is entering the final stages of QA and bug testing for the new Square integration. As you might expect, we’re working directly with Square to ensure a great experience for everyone who signs up and activates the integration, so the process is receiving a higher degree of TLC and attention than normal. We’re especially excited about this integration because it’ll give you the ability to take customer card payments in person with a swipe, tap, and dip.

Also, you’ll be able to use the Square integration with the free version of Setmore, no Setmore Pro or Team subscription required.

We don’t have a concrete deployment date as of yet, but it will most likely happen within the next two months, and you can expect to find the latest updates right here on the Setmore blog.

GDPR: the big fuss, updated Privacy Policy and Terms

GDPR is a new consumer privacy regulation that was passed in the European Union. Chances are you’ve heard of this by now, since it’s been dominating headlines in the tech world for the past several months. This regulation gives users like you more control and insight into how businesses use your personal data. That’s the skinny of it, but of course there’s more to this odyssey.

As of May 25th, Setmore has updated its Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By continuing to use Setmore, you’re consenting to and agreeing with these new policies, so be sure to check them out. Something neat: in our Privacy Policy, we disclose all the third party platforms that we share personal data with, so you can see exactly what we’re doing with it.

Accepting payments for multiple services via Booking Page

Setmore now supports taking payments for multiple services from the Booking Page. This means that whenever your customers select multiple services while booking online, they can now pay upfront for those services as they confirm the booking.

Right now this feature is available for users with:

• A Setmore Pro subscription,
• the Stripe integration activated,
• and the “Provide Multiple Services” feature enabled.

Once the new Square integration (referenced above) goes live, you’ll also be able to take payments via Square, from the Booking Page, with a free, basic Setmore account.
