\u201cDon\u2019t judge a book by its cover\u201d is the theme for this month\u2019s deployment notes. Aside from bug fixes, most of our work on the Setmore platform is beneath the surface. Our teams have been busy retooling the foundation-level code, which should result in a faster, more stable Setmore. And it\u2019ll prepare us for the growth in users and Pro subscribers in 2019 and beyond. Read up on our progress and how it\u2019ll affect your account, in the rest of the post below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(<\/span>A quick note on Square<\/b> \u2013 the beta is underway and numerous invites have already been issued. We\u2019re anticipating official deployment very very soon, so keep an eye out on the next batch of deployment notes!)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same great look, whole new Setmore<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our development teams have been undertaking architectural upgrades to the Setmore platform that will result in some serious performance boosts. We\u2019re talking a more responsive calendar, faster bookings, and support for even more appointments and calendar events without dragging down app speed. We\u2019re also shoring up our 3rd party integrations to ensure they work better and smoother than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team has been making multiple upgrades to our <\/span>Google 2-way sync feature<\/span><\/a>, available with <\/span>Setmore Pro<\/span><\/a>. (A few current Setmore users may have already been contacted about resetting your sync to ensure that the new upgrades take hold.) These upgrades will make sure your Google and Setmore calendars sync their appointments instantaneously and cover extraneous items like multiple-day events. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking Page speed enhancements coming this week<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of the back-end refactor, the Setmore team will be deploying some new enhancements to the Booking Page this October. These enhancements will ensure that your customers have a great experience each time they book an appointment online. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big change here will be faster load times when customers select a time slot. The Booking Page will be able to generate a list of available dates and times much faster. And it\u2019ll be able to generate new lists of available times with more responsiveness as customers switch between days of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more responsive Booking Page means fewer barriers for customers when they go to book online, which means a greater likelihood of new appointments and conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming soon: Pro setup calls & training webinars<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Setmore is launching a new Pro Support service, available to all existing and new Setmore Pro subscribers. This elevated tier of technical support ensures that any time you request in-app guidance, you\u2019ll be connected with our A-team of Setmore experts. New Pro subscribers can even request a personalized setup session via phone or video chat, with screen sharing options available.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"premium<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As part of this elevated service, we\u2019re also in the early stages of offering training webinars. These webinars will focus on setting up and optimizing your Setmore account, and on general questions about how best to use the Setmore platform. During the pilot phase, invites to each webinar will go out to a selected group of Setmore users only. And if you don\u2019t get an invite, don\u2019t worry! Recordings of each webinar will be posted online for anyone to view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
